Brooklyn

Opinion: 421-a Deadline Threatens the Promise of Gowanus Rezoning

Michelle de la Uz and Rachel Fee | May 23, 2023

“Gowanus is a critical example, but there are other mixed-income projects with much needed affordable housing comprising thousands more apartments across the city—many in high opportunity communities, and all of which were duly approved through the city’s land-use process—that need the deadline extended in order to happen.”

Government

Late Session Goals Emerge As Housing Policy Fizzles Out of NY Budget

Emma Whitford | April 28, 2023

With six weeks left until the end of the legislative session, Hochul is already looking ahead, insisting that she will work with Senate and Assembly leaders to address New York’s shortage of affordable homes—a conversation that could carry over into next year.

Opinion: Bringing Affordable Housing to NY’s Market More Quickly, and Less Expensively

Michael Lappin | April 6, 2023

“A detriment to building sufficient affordable housing is the long and laborious path projects must go through to reach completion.”

Hudson Yards Calls Itself a Model Neighborhood for Energy Efficiency. City Data Paints a Different Picture

Mariana Simões | March 16, 2023

Hudson Yards promised to be one of the most efficient sustainable neighborhoods in the U.S. But public energy consumption data tracked by the city shows many green-certified properties in the neighborhood are failing to outperform similar buildings nationwide.

Opinion: Building Again at NYCHA

Charles Lauster | March 15, 2023

It is time for New York to meet its public housing needs. It has the land. The technical ability to  restore and replace NYCHA’s housing stock to meet tenant needs and low-carbon performance  is there.

Opinion: NIMBYs Are Wrong—New Housing is Good for NY’s Climate Goals

Ben Hitchcock | February 15, 2023

“Invoking environmental concerns to block construction is a classic page in the NIMBY playbook, but when suburbanites push back against dense, transit-oriented housing, they are not just hurting the people who urgently need housing in our city—they are hurting the climate for future generations of New Yorkers, too.”

City Limits Announces Two Additions to its Reporting Staff

Jeanmarie Evelly | February 8, 2023

The nonprofit newsroom expands staff to support its in-depth reporting on New York City housing issues, and launches a new beat focused exclusively on NYCHA.

Opinion: Hochul’s Affordable Development Plan Can Transform NY Housing

Rachel Fee | January 17, 2023

“New York finally has a big, bold, and brave plan to really make the state affordable. It will attack the lack of housing supply, the inequitable distribution of housing, and the reticence of some local leaders to do their part.”

Opinion: Governor Hochul’s State of Housing

Jumaane Williams | January 10, 2023

“As Gov. Kathy Hochul is set to deliver the speech that could define her first full term, she has an opportunity to set a path of real progress on housing. But she will have to break the patterns of past leadership—and her own first year in office.”

Opinion: New York’s Housing Plans Must Address Affordability—& Climate Change

Seth Baum | December 29, 2022

“New York State has the lowest per capita emissions in the country. Compared to the rest of the United States, New York City has by far the best transit, and it is the only city where living car-free is the standard. Other cities should pursue more climate-friendly urban design, but New York City should lead by welcoming more people.”
