TweetEpisode Details
Original tape date: April 5, 2017. First aired: April 10, 2017.Moderator Bob Liff and a panel of experts discuss the homelessness crisis in New York City, as well as efforts by policy-makers to address the crisis in an election year. Is homelessness a "wicked" problem, with no viable solutions? Does Mayor de Blasio's recent homeless shelter proposal stand a chance of success when NIMBYism ("Not In My Backyard") is the order of the day in many neighborhoods and communities around the City? How do policy-makers tackle the root causes of homelessness, including poverty, mental health and substance abuse issues, and the housing affordability crisis in New York?
