Housing Deal Eludes NY Lawmakers Amidst Democratic Disagreements.
TL;DR Summary
New York Democrats failed to pass any housing policies, including measures to protect tenants from eviction and cap rent increases, incentives to remodel empty offices into apartments, and an extension of a tax break for developers to build affordable housing. Lawmakers blamed Governor Kathy Hochul for opposing their housing measures, while the governor said lawmakers never presented her with any housing bills to approve. The lack of a resolution underscored the lingering fissures between Ms. Hochul and more left-leaning Democrats in the Legislature who have clashed over various issues.
