Have you actually read anything about this before posting? ConEd pushed lawmakers to ban it despite selling gas!: https://www.nysfocus.com/2021/12/01/coned-gas-ban/ https://www.nysfocus.com/2021/12/01/coned-gas-ban/ Cooking needs are nothing compared to air conditioning, and new buildings are markedly more efficient due to things like heat pumps and improved insulation. There's also a certain irony in your other point when most new construction makes NYC more expensive... Tons of areas getting rezoned to allow developers to build overpriced luxury pads with insane tax abatements in exchange for paying lip service to affordable housing.
