"We need to build what I call aspirational housing. When I was comptroller, I audited the number of vacant parcels of land the city owns, and I believe that that's the land that can build the next generation of affordable housing."
"Stringer advised that a shorter horizon is more realistic. His housing plan calls for building 20,000 units over five years, focusing on affordable housing on public land."
During the Democratic primary debate, Comptroller Scott Stringer highlighted the importance of realistic housing goals, challenging opponents' ambitious plans. Stringer proposes a focus on 20,000 affordable housing units over the next five years, utilizing public land and investing in minority- and women-owned business enterprises (MWBEs). His initiative, known as ROOF, aims to create 18,400 family-sized units and preserve 24,000 more. This reflects his longstanding commitment to alleviating housing issues in New York City while advocating for the underprivileged and striving for a balanced real estate ecosystem.
