Book excerpt: New York City is a safer, more welcoming city than it was decades ago. People from all over the world come to study, to work or to start a business there. And that success story has pressure on New York's housing stock. Coupled with ever-rising inequality, the painful reality is that more and more New Yorkers are spending more and more to cover their housing costs, and entire neighborhoods have lost their affordability. The shortage of affordable housing has reached a crisis point. That is why the city has laid out this comprehensive housing plan to support New Yorkers with a range of incomes, from the very lowest to those in the middle class. This plan outlines more than 50 initiatives to support the goal of building or preserving 200,000 units of high-quality affordable housing to meet the needs of more than 500,000 people. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
