Where are you going to build housing in the boroughs?

The bigger problem is there is only one New York City, and zoning is one issue that prevents another New York City from coming into existence.
Everyone wants to live in NYC and they can’t. So I guess your ideas are to build more desirable cites to live in to take the pressure off of NYC?
Yes, there is no comparable city to NYC in the US, especially with the subway and density.
That’s true. But there are lots of cities in the USA that aren’t considered very desirable and so have surplus housing.
Maybe those cities are not desirable for a reason?
Maybe, but if so it sounds like city desirability can’t merely be improved Sony eliminating zoning then.
