Housing advocate and Open New York Executive Director Annemarie Gray argues that scarcity drives New York's housing crisis, with restrictive zoning and ULURP processes empowering local opposition to block development. She reveals how both Republican states and progressive Democratic cities outpace New York in housing reform, despite recent wins like "City of Yes" legislation. Annemarie advocates for balancing tenant protections with increased supply and discusses her organization's push for the Faith-Based Affordable Housing Act, which would allow religious organizations to build affordable housing on their underutilized properties.
