Nick Reisman reports at New York State of Politics that Gov. Kathy Hochul is still stumping for more affordable housing in the state, after the legislature passed on her plan to build 800,000 new units in the next decade. Hochul said, "We must build more housing.... And then, you continue building the buildings and working on the public infrastructure projects and people who always think about us continue to talk about us and that sense of awe." This month Hochul took executive action to support money for local governments that create more development-friendly rules. Hochul said, "The more we build — and we talk about an affordability crisis, not just here, but every corner of the state — if we build more housing, all levels, I didn't say it had to be all affordable, I never said that.... Just build more housing, all kinds, everywhere, and then we'll be able to start driving down the price because my highest priorities for the state are, number one, public safety, and we're making great progress here."
