NYC Mayor Mamdani Meets Trump on Sunnyside Yards Housing, $21B Federal Funding
The significance here is the pairing of a large federal appropriation with a city-led housing project, which makes the funding itself the pivot point rather than the design or site plan.

Whether the $21 billion appropriation actually moves forward, and on what terms, is the open question worth watching.
