What Trump’s Win Could Mean for Housing, Climate and Immigrant Communities in NYC


With Donald Trump expected to return to the White House in January, City Limits takes a closer look at the former and future president’s platform and promises around key policy issues, and what that could mean in New York.

Editor’s note: Portions of this story are adapted from prior City Limits’ coverage, published before the Nov. 5 election, which looked at what the two leading presidential candidates had proposed around housing, immigration and climate change.

More than 2.5 million New York City residents voted in Tuesday’s election. And while the majority of New Yorkers cast their ballots for Vice President and Democrat Kamala Harris—who earned nearly 68 percent of votes across the five boroughs—former President and Republican Donald Trump won out nationwide, and is expected to return the White House come January.

As was this case during his previous presidential term from 2016-2020, Trump’s leadership will have significant impact on how New York City operates. At a press conference Wednesday morning, Mayor Eric Adams—who, like Trump, is facing criminal charges—congratulated the candidate on his win, saying City Hall will “work with the incoming administration for the good of all New Yorkers.”

But he also pledged to “defend and fight for our city’s values as part of the process.”
