Pretty much, here in NY, they tried to forced villages to suspend zoning for apartments. Except, these villages here are already being heavily developed, by nothing but luxury apartment buildings. (There are in fact 4 going up next to me right now). The real estate mafia controls NY and they wanted the inconvenience of building codes suspended so they could build more luxury units faster. Also, what keeps happening is the developers cheat, don't offer affordable units in the end, and the villages get sued for displacing low income individuals which violates some HUD rules and suddenly the remaining village taxpayers are subsidizing the rents of people in these luxury apartments by federal order. (Because my village currently is doing this). You know, instead of the luxury apartment apartment building that caused the displacement.
