BIGGER: Housing - We'll need 265,000 more housing units for our new population. But that won't be enough. In order to welcome New Yorkers from every background, we must fix the persistent housing and land shortage that has driven prices to record levels. Already, nearly a third of renters in New York City pay more than 50% of their income toward rent. The Mayor's ambitious affordable housing plan and innovative rezonings will help. But over the long term, we can - and we must - do more.
