CHPC presents three key proposals for Charter reform to enable land use decisions that will meet New York City's pressing needs for housing.
CHPC looks at the history of the ULURP process, the political incentives embedded in it, and the implications they have for our housing crisis.
How did NYC's low-density zoning become so restrictive? A combination of citywide and local zoning changes made over decades have effectively prohibited the addition or alteration of housing on many lots.
How slow has housing growth been in NYC's low-density districts? On a per-capita basis, slower than anywhere in the metro area or any other U.S. city.
How well is the housing in low-density districts meeting the needs of residents? CHPC asked 805 New Yorkers to find out.
CHPC expands its analysis of affordable housing lease-up times with new, more granular data.
The focus of this interim report is to describe why properties did or did not advance through the pilot and to outline additional changes that would enable the implementation of an effective legalization program at scale.
In its directory of housing projects, CHPC describes a range of facilities employed by cities to house refugees, including emergency shelters, temporary housing structures, and short-term and long-term construction projects.
