What if developers were required to build affordable housing, if they want to do business in New York City? A top advocate is making the pitch. MKramerTV says the idea surfaced during a discussion on 'The Point,' CBS2's Sunday morning talk show.
-- A top advocate for people experiencing homelessness offers a novel idea for building affordable housing -- make it a pre-requisite for getting the green light on other development projects, like the awarding of casino licenses.
Now, former council speaker Christine Quinn, the head of the city's largest provider of shelter and housing for families experiencing homelessness, says if the city wants to end the homeless crisis, make building affordable housing a requirement for any development project, including the three new casinos due to be built here.
"Absolutely," Quinn said."Yes, that should absolutely, absolutely happen, as well as those type of establishments should connect to providers to get homeless people working in supermarkets or casinos or whatever you're building.""I think most mayors really haven't been honest with New Yorkers in the sense that it's gonna be hard to solve the homeless crisis, but we can do it.
