The article evaluates the housing proposals of various Democratic mayoral candidates, highlighting Andrew Cuomo's plan as lacking in innovation and clarity. Despite his call for building or preserving 500,000 housing units, critics argue that his plan seems disconnected from reality, providing little substance regarding execution. The author also notes that Cuomo’s approach stands out as conservative compared to his competitors, as he avoids addressing critical issues like upzoning low-density areas. Additionally, it touches on Zellnor Myrie's campaign, which failed to gain the expected momentum, signifying the competitive nature of the primary race.
"Cuomo's housing plan is among the most conservative in the race. He rules out upzoning low-scale residential neighborhoods and fails to mention parking mandates."
"The former governor's 29-page plan calls for building or preserving 500,000 units, but the number seems hatched out of thin air. He doesn't clarify how many would be preserved versus built."
