I ran a thing called the Fifth Avenue Committee right nearby here and the Pratt center for Community Development where we preserved and built thousands of units of affordable homes. In the city council, I passed the Gowanus rezoning... About 8,000 units of housing, 3,000 of them genuinely affordable. The low income and working class families. The public housing nearby is renovated. And as comptroller, I've invested in the creation and preservation of more units of affordable housing than all the past controllers put together.
