Trump's housing chief paints a grim picture for homeownership in one major American city

Trump's housing chief, Ben Carson, criticizes New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's housing policies, arguing they will worsen affordability by discouraging private investment. Mamdani's agenda includes rent freezes, higher taxes on corporations and wealthy residents, and expanded government involvement in addressing housing shortages, which Carson opposes, advocating instead for regulatory reductions and private-sector solutions.
