Zoning reform measures have divided tenant advocates in New York. Yet loosening the city’s anti-housing regime is essential if we ever want to build social housing at scale.

I took the M7 down 7th Avenue from 55th to 25th, and for the first time I didn't regret it. It took 5 and 1/2 minutes which meant that the bus was averaging around 16 mph!
Usually it gets stuck around Times Square and Penn Station!
