MTA Chair Janno Lieber says the city needs to keep getting guns off the street after Thursday's subway shooting, where a man was shot in the head with his own weapon. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of New Yorkers insured through Aetna could soon lose access to New York Presbyterian's vast network of hospitals and doctors. Plus, residents of a Lower East Side community say they're fed up with years of delays on an MTA project on the M line. Finally, Willets Point, Queens, is poised for a transformation, including a new soccer stadium, a school, and thousands of affordable housing units. WNYC's Arun Venugopal has the latest on the project.

Governor Hochul has signed a bill creating a nine-member commission to examine New York's history of slavery and its lasting effects on residents. Meanwhile, New York City is trying to improve its management of catch basins to make future clean-ups more streamlined. Also, NYU Langone Hospital in Brooklyn must pay out at least $35,000 to employees for having too few nurses on some shifts. Plus, developers behind the city's first professional soccer stadium are set to break ground in Queens this week. The plan includes the construction of more than a thousand affordable housing units at the Willets Point site.

4.67 million is the total number of jobs in New York City, just shy of employment pre-pandemic. Though the economy is stable and employment generally strong, challenges remain. The economy is undergoing longer term transformation including remote work, which will affect our labor market and commercial real estate, and the City faces proximate challenges with the influx of new migrants and asylum seekers. NYC EDC's President and Executive Director joined CBC to discuss the Administration's economic growth strategy, projects ranging from Willets Point to SPARC Kips Bay, the green economy and offshore wind, soccer, ferries, and more.
City Councilman Francisco Moya, a life-long resident of Corona, Queens and integral to the agreement for a soccer-specific stadium at Willets Point for NYCFC, was the guest at halftime of the NYCFC-Charlotte match at Citi Field.

This week, the city and the New York City Football Club reached an agreement to build the city's first ever soccer stadium in Willets Point, Queens. The massive plan will also include 2,500 units of affordable housing, a hotel and retail space. The $780 million stadium is being paid for entirely by the soccer team, but will need to go through the land-use approval. NY1's Zack Fink, Courtney Gross and Juan Manuel Benítez break down the surprisingly controversy-free situation, and look at how it could affect the city in the years to come. Additionally, after Democrats in New York lose four congressional seats, which helped give Republicans control of the House of Representatives, a blame game has been underway. State Party Chairman Jay Jacobs has been taking a significant amount of heat for not doing enough to get out the vote. The team takes a look at what is really happening within the party, and if Jacobs is truly to blame. We want to hear from you, especially what you think about the new soccer stadium deal.
