ULURP sparks rare bipartisan moment between Trump and Mamdani on NYC housing reform

In private and public remarks, President Trump and NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani found surprising common ground on ULURP, the city’s land-use approval process, with Trump signaling support for reforms that could speed up development. The exchanges—rooted in Trump’s longstanding real-estate interests in New York—signal a potential, issue-focused opening for collaboration on housing in a city facing a severe affordability crisis, even as broader political disagreements persist.
