The construction unions/industry are big donors to the state government and City. That's why these construction prices have been allowed to run rampant I understand this is the New York Post but years ago the New York times did a much better story on the why which l sum it up is exactly what I said the construction unions and the industry have plenty of politicians in their pocket which allowed them to do what they're doing
