I have a record city of.
is going to produce housing throughout the city because housing new york is is not just a manhattan or brooklyn or areas that were gentrified gentrified it's the entire city never before have we witnessed this most comprehensive of housing and rezoning policy in the history of our city we have built
renovated and planned rezoning for 426,000 units of housing in the next decade.
I mean, this is unbelievable when you think about it.
We did it in three and a half years.
That number is larger than 12 years of Bloomberg, eight years of de Blasio combined in three and a half years.
We are the most housing forward administration in the history of this city.
And we got projects off the ground that many have tried, like Willis Point, 2,400 units of affordable housing.
Flushing Airport, hundreds of units of affordable housing union built.
And so City of Yes is part of the overall package that we're doing.
Five rezonings in each borough, 50,000 units of housing that's coming out of that.
So we know New Yorkers must be housed.
But you gotta match housing
with using the resources of city to make the city affordable, decreasing the cost of childcare, universal childcare, no income tax for low-income New Yorkers, none at all of what we have done.
Well, no, we already got it done.
There is no income tax for low-income New Yorkers.
And then what you do is each year you go to Albany.
They call it a 10-cup day for a reason.
You go up there to beg for your proposal.
