This October we worked with our partners at the Law and Political Economy Project NYC to organize the first session of a new series about what it means to make NYC affordable. This conversation went deep on a topic on every New Yorker’s mind when it comes to living in the city: housing. Why is it so hard to find affordable rent in New York? And why do the prices keep going up? Is “freeze the rent” a viable option? Our Senior Housing Fellow, Gianpaolo Baiocchi, as well as panelists from anchor partner Housing Justice for All tackled these questions and more in a riveting conversation that will hopefully provide some intellectual ballast for those fighting evictions and soaring rents in the Big Apple.
