Yeah, but from the clip it sounds like your position is all zoning is an “artificial supply constraint” implying that all zoning should be eliminated! We don’t need zoning changes to build affordable housing - Relaxing zoning has only produced *luxury real estate developments*!

If you think increasing the supply of *locally affordable* housing is the answer - Why not suggest zoning overlays with strict affordability requirements?

MIH as is doesn’t work & you should know that as a housing advocate. All the AMIs MIHs are based on are already inflated due to gentrification & other sneaky matters. Most MIH sourced housing isn’t even affordable for the working poor Black, Brown, POC ppl…

I do know that! I’m not a fan of MIH and I think it’s a bad tool. Zeke is the one who said he wanted a zoning overlay w affordability I’m just pointing out that’s literally what MIH is.

Zeke doesn’t support MIH as is. In this whole thread about what started the convo, you have yet to address taking action to halt predatory real estate entities from being able to buy up housing. “Build, build, build” w/ no regulations, etc. doesn’t work.

Huh? Ive barely said anything here other than a “zoning overlay w deep affordability” is literally what MIH is. It’s a fact. Anyway re stopping predatory RE - I strongly agree and rent regulations& eviction protections are the best first step which is why I focus on that.

it doesn't work in practice. it sounds good in theory but they actually sit on applications and let them expire. come up to east harlem, harlem, the south bronx and look who lives in the ugly gray boxes.
