There's a shortage of housing in New York. Direct price regulation of the rental market wasn't effective in increasing the amount - let alone the quality of - affordable housing stock.Nowadays, with direct rent regulation fading away - or 'phasing out' - in our area, the goal is to increase the amount of 'affordable' housing stock in some other fashion. So there are set-asides for below-market rates, but not nearly enough to put a dent in the deficit. There's precious little government funding for affordable housing (which is one reason why the set-asides are attractive, because the piggyback off of private sector money, or at least they appear to). It's a huge problem for our area and in many urban areas. Facing up to the dilemma and solving it will take a lot. |
