At WNYC, my former New York Sun colleague Julie Satow has a report about what she describes as a dilemma for Mayor De Blasio:
affordable housing developers say they won't be able to meet the mayor's housing goal if they are forced to hire union laborers.
"It is really a question of the math," said Jolie Milstein, the president and CEO of the New York Association for Affordable Housing. "If you look at the cost of constructing affordable housing, particularly in an environment of increasing land costs, you just get very many fewer units built if you have to use expensive union labor."
