If there is one issue that unites New Yorkers from every walk of life, it’s housing.
Our city’s rental vacancy rate is at a historic low of 1.4 percent, which shows how few homes in our city are available for rent; and half of all New Yorkers pay more than 30 percent of their income on rent. The numbers do not lie: our city is facing a housing shortage crisis that effects the cost of living and that must be addressed as swiftly and aggressively as possible.
