Mamdani wants more housing on public land. A map shows where NYC is building now — and why 'it's not a silver bullet.'
NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani plans to build 200,000 affordable homes using city-owned land, including converting libraries and parking lots. An economist notes the plan faces challenges like zoning and funding but could help address housing affordability. The city aims to develop 25,000 units over 10 years, with 10 projects currently in planning.
