"Much slower construction of housing, and that translates in to higher rents."Actually, New York replaces its housing stock a lot faster than many other places do. Try visiting Philadelphia or Kansas City. Yes, rents in New York are high - because the populsatuon is increasing and thee is huge demand. That's why New York is rezoning some areas to increase density. "They buy a brownstone in Bed-Stuy and crowd out the working class." Which is why a requirement that a % of housing be dependent on documented income is important. It lets developers do what they want but still serves working class families. Not perfect, and certainly bears improvement, but it works. "There is no successful mixed model for housing in the industrialized world that involves more than basis points worth of housing stock" False statement. New York City is a successful example. |
