Brad Lander, a left-wing mayoral candidate and city Comptroller, has proposed using municipal golf courses in New York City to build housing as part of his campaign to address the housing crisis. He estimates that up to 50,000 homes could be created from four courses, which would also include green parks and schools. This initiative is a significant component of his broader housing plan, which seeks to construct a total of 500,000 new homes over the next ten years, echoing Mayor Eric Adams' ambitious goals but has faced criticism from the golfing community.
I say think of somewhere else to build these houses. Are you going to take away that enjoyment from people who love the game?
It would mean we could create 50,000 homes for New Yorkers to rent or buy, and not just roofs over people's heads, but real neighborhoods.
