Yeah I ran some numbers in another comment on this post, and I was a bit surprised to see that NYC’s units per capita number is about 42%, 5% fewer than my much smaller (but also plagued by lack of housing and lack of affordability) city at 47%. They’re planning to add 200k units over the next ten years, which is a start, but even if we assume no population growth, that still only gets them an additional 2.3% more units per capita. They’re also trying to spur more private development.
