The bottom line is that Mandatory Inclusionary Housing is a lot more onerous to developers trying to build market-rate units than was expected. This was an issue even before 421-a expired. Leftist opponents and pro-development supporters were both wrong

The 2016 East New York rezoning was supposed to produce 6,500 homes by 2030. Halfway to that date, only 600 have been added, @NicoleRosentha7 reports in @trdny Our story shows the predictions of critics and supporters of the rezoning were both wrong. therealdeal.com/new-york/2023/

Phil build 4 million new homes in NYC
@philritz1
Can a city buy up land before rezoning, or pass a law capturing the upside prior to a rezoning? If the city owned parcels in East New York before rezoning, it could accelerate development. This would make no one happy, but we’d end up with more homes.

Sounds like a job for the government. Expecting the private sector to get us out of this mess is an even bigger fools errand than expecting the private sector too.
