"We kept fighting and as I said, we passed the most significant housing legislation in Albany in 50 years," Hochul said. "We have received applications for the 421-a extension for 71,000 apartments, including 21,000 affordable units, over 650 buildings - that's just since this past summer when I signed it into law. How extraordinary is that?"
Hochul explained the absence of Mayor Adams during the announcement, stating, "We have always done our housing announcements together, Maria and I..." their schedules did not line up when asked about Adams's absence.
Hochul stated, "I feel he has done what I asked him to do, which was to clean house. That was pretty significant that you have seen a lot of changes over the last couple of weeks, and especially this week."
