Guest host Sarah Maslin Nir talks with Times Metro reporter Elizabeth Harris about why New York City is shutting down a long‑running men’s homeless intake shelter near Bellevue and what’s at stake as the Mamdani administration tries to move those services to the East Village, where neighbors have gone to court to block the plan in a city already strained by high rents. Business editor Mike Dang then joins to look beyond New York, talking about Americans who moved abroad for cheaper rent and health care and now worry that U.S. housing costs, limited retirement income and expensive medical bills make coming home financially out of reach.
