flag NY GOP proposes rent caps, faster permits, and repeal of all-electric mandate to boost affordable housing.

flag New York State Senate Republicans, led by Sen. Robert Ortt, unveiled a housing agenda targeting affordability and construction costs, proposing means-tested rent stabilization at 125% of Area Median Income, streamlined permitting, and repeal of the all-electric building mandate. flag They argue Democratic policies fail to address root causes and claim their plan would boost housing supply, support local builders, and prevent high-income households from occupying affordable units. flag The proposals are part of a broader 2026 legislative effort, with Republicans urging community engagement and emphasizing regulatory reforms over subsidies.
