OPINION

Restart Mitchell-Lama to generate more housing: 

No new legislation is needed to create homes for New Yorkers

The article points out these new developments would be 

  • built with 100% union labor 
  • on vacant land, so no one would be displaced
  • with existing financing mechanisms
  • without changing existing zoning.]
