Donald Trump has picked retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson to serve as
secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD. Trump
picked Carson even though the doctor has no experience in housing or urban
policy. Last month, Carson told The Washington Post, "Having me as a federal
bureaucrat would be like a fish out of water, quite frankly." For more, we speak
with Jumaane Williams, New York city councilmember for District 45 and chair of
the city’s Housing and Buildings Committee. He has spent much of his career
fighting for affordable housing.
