Housing Takes Center Stage as Brooklyn State Senator Joins Mayoral Race
Briefly

"My wife and I want to put down roots in the neighborhood where we grew up - but it feels impossible to afford a home here," he said. "Every day I talk to New Yorkers who are facing the same struggle - and they're told that they either need to win a housing lottery or come from rich parents to afford an apartment bigger than a shoe box. I'm running for Mayor of New York City because we need a vision as big as the challenges we face - and that starts with tackling our housing crisis."
Myrie's proposal includes ideas on rezonings, incentive programs, code reforms and direct tenant and homeowner protections. His housing plan, titled 'Rebuild NYC: A Mandate for One Million Homes', aims to address the urgent housing needs of New Yorkers.
Some highlights of Myrie's plan include investing in NYCHA, building 95,000 mixed-income housing units, increasing density in Midtown Manhattan, and creating templates for the redevelopment of old public buildings.
