It's the brilliant error show on WNYC. Good morning, everyone. Today we will take note of the new debate

surrounding the SAT exams. Did they get a bum rap? Some colleges that made SAT

scores optional as a criterion for admission are now making the mandatory again. And there have

arguing that the SATs actually enhanced the chances for diverse and marginalized high school students

to get into good colleges, not the other way around, as has been previously believed.

We'll talk to Emmy Neatfeld and take your calls coming up. Also, former U.S.

Middle East peace negotiator Aaron David Miller, even as the focus in this country is mostly on

college protests and the response to them right now, obviously, there is a serious push for

a short-term ceasefire and a longer-term peace that Secretary of State Blinken is in the region trying to broker right now.

Aaron David Miller will talk about how maybe to get all sides to yes.

And did you move yesterday?

May 1st is one of the biggest days of the year for moving.

And in our insane housing market around here,

we will ask where you moved and why. Did you more move to or more move from, if you know what I mean?

And do you have any tips or tricks to share now that it's behind you on how other listeners can

find a decent affordable next place to live.

That's all coming up.

But first, I'm joined by David Brand, the WNYC and Gothamist Housing Reporter,

to talk about various pieces of housing news, including how HPD,

the city's housing department, wants to, might say, borrow the plot of a Joe Pesci movie to get repairs done by one of New York City's landlords who's been officially labeled one of New York City's worst landlords.
