Abstract:
New York City has been in a self-proclaimed housing “emergency” since the end of World War II. While the rest of the nation responded to postwar housing shortages with a construction boom that left all but low-income households appropriately housed, in New York City developers have not even been able to produce enough housing to satisfy the needs of the middle class.
