It is too expensive to build on Long Island. No builder is putting in complexes or buildings without generous tax breaks.
Yep. Nothing to worry about. The idiot apparently didn't take into consideration that aside from a few shopping malls here and there, there are few available plots to build anything on.

Why don’t these people understand that this is an island. There is only so much land available. The roads, railways & infrastructure just can’t handle a mass building spree.

This quote I think summed it up nicely:

“There’s no such thing as development in Huntington, there’s only redevelopment in Huntington," Smyth said. "Whenever something new is built, something is coming down.”

And this goes for most of LI especially Nassau

Keep in mind that the plan is to build such housing across the state, not just Long Island.

https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/gov...d-build-800000

So, the article is actually misleading(probably on purpose).

Do they think the reason for people leaving NY is just due to housing? Job opportunities, lower taxes, less onerous rules are the main reasons people are leaving the state.

So NY will force multifamily "affordable" housing which will basically become defacto housing projects.

I guess we can clear the hotels of the Venezuelan refugees then.

I am not picking on you, but it's unnerving to see New Yorkers using the conjunction y'all.

It's not the first time I have heard or seen it from a New Yorker.

I've been out of the State for the last decade, so I suppose that things have changed. If only I could get Southerners to use "youse..." in my adopted home.

Y'all got a point there.
