"This housing crisis is largely a supply crisis, and not just because people aren’t selling their homes. The country simply hasn’t built enough new homes to keep pace with a growing population."

Can the U.S. Climb Out of Its ‘Unprecedented’ Housing Crisis?
The 2024 housing market was the slowest in decades. Next year’s might not be much better. It may come down to how many new homes can be built.

In 2021 we rezoned:
SoHo/NoHo = 3,000 homes
Gowanus = 8,000 homes
Today, we passed something 10x larger than either:
City of Yes = 80,000 homes
But in order to end our housing shortage, we will need reforms 10x larger than today’s.
