Lifting all caps on residential development in NYC will render our city unviable and increasingly unlivable. Our elected officials and their paymasters in the development community are again plying their insidious “affordable housing” hustle to justify a winner-take-all pillage of the city by even more monstrous over-development that what has so far been inflicted. This has nothing to do with actual affordable housing for New Yorkers most in need, nor even with “affordable housing”–housing for those on the lower rungs of the 1 percent–which is as affordable as it gets with any new construction in Manhattan.
