Word from the Curb: affordability in the Bronx

WNYC News | Sep 30, 2025

The cost of living is top of mind for many New Yorkers across the five boroughs. That not only includes access to affordable housing, but basic necessities like groceries and health care, too.

WNYC host Sean Carlson is joined by Angela Torres, the director of operations of the Throggs Neck Community Alliance, and Lehra Brooks, President of the Throggs Neck Resident Association,  to talk about what affordability looks like in the Bronx. The panel discussion was recorded live from the American Turners club in Throggs Neck.
