When people talk about zoning and the housing crisis, they’re primarily talking about arbitrary limits on density, not rules that prevent factories in residential areas. Or they’re talking about converting former industrial areas to residential like what happened on the Williamsburg waterfront.
There are not lots of empty housing units. This is a widely propagated myth. The city’s vacancy rate is extremely low.
