| At a gathering ahead of Donald Trump's inauguration, dozens of mayors sent the message to federal officials that affordable housing is their top priority. Local leaders who were at the US Conference of Mayors' annual meeting this past weekend in Washington, DC, called on the new administration and Congress to "support and quickly pass the largest and most comprehensive investment legislation in housing in our country's history." The calls echoed remarks made in August, when Democratic leaders were hopeful Vice President Kamala Harris could win the presidential election. Now, faced with the return of a president whose support for tariffs and mass deportation of undocumented immigrants threatens to worsen the housing shortage — and who was often at odds with city leaders during his first term — mayors are looking for opportunities for cooperation.
