I'm getting really sick the massive waiting lists for affordable housing, which essentially is equivalent to winning the lottery if selected. Is the costs worth it for benefiting so few? Most of New York is suffering from the high rent burden. Middle class is ignored in this discussion as the focus is always on subsidized housing and never market rate. My radical idea is to suspend density limits to act as a huge incentive to get developers to build more market rate housing for each year emergency rent control and rent stabilization measures are in place.
