Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. Since its founding in 1995, the Furman Center has become a leading academic research center devoted to the public policy aspects of land use, real estate development and housing. The Center is dedicated to the following three missions: n Providing objective academic and empirical research on the legal and public policy issues involving land use, real estate, housing and urban affairs in the United States; n Promoting frank and productive discussions among elected and appointed officials, leaders of the real estate industry, leaders of non-profit housing and community development organizations, scholars, faculty and students about critical issues in land use, real estate and urban policy; and n Presenting essential data and analysis about the state of New York City’s housing and neighborhoods to all those involved in land use, real estate development, community economic development, housing, urban economics and urban policy. 1 Directors’ Letter Dear Friends and Colleagues: Originally, the Furman Center focused “The idea behind the Center is that we weren’t most of its research on New York City, The 15th anniversary of the Furman but today our research is national in just a think tank….

  • What More Do We Need to Know About How to Prevent and Mitigate Displacement of Low- and Moderate-Income Households from Gentrifying Neighborhoods?
    What More Do We Need to Know about How to Prevent and Mitigate Displacement of Low- and Moderate-Income Households from Gentrifying Neighborhoods? VICKI BEEN1 New York University he extent to which gentrification results in the displacement of low- and moderate-income households from neighborhoods undergoing signifi- cant change is still the subject of study and debate among urban policy researchers.2 Recent evidence suggests that, at least in areas outside low- vacancy “superstar cities”3 with intense gentrification, renters who likely Tare the most vulnerable to displacement generally do not move away from gentrifying neighborhoods at higher rates than such households move from nongentrifying areas.4 Elected officials, housing advocates, and the public, on the other hand, have no doubt that gentrification can and does cause displacement.5 There are a number of reasons the research findings on displacement may be less accu- rate or complete than reports from affected neighborhoods. First, there is considerable disagreement, especially early in the process, about which neighborhoods actually are gentrifying. Second, data tracking people’s moves to and from neighborhoods is limited because of concerns about the confidentiality of tax, social service, and other governmental data files that follow individuals over time, and because private sources of linked data, such as credit reporting bureau files, are incomplete in a variety of ways (some households don’t have credit files, for example). Third, even if residents of gentrifying neighborhoods may move no more often from gentrifying neighborhoods than similar households in other areas, they may move for different reasons. Residents of non-gentrifying neighborhoods may more often move voluntarily — seeking better neighborhoods or jobs, for example — while residents of gentrifying neighborhoods may more often move involuntarily, wanting to stay in the neighborhood but unable to afford it.

  • Minimum Parking Requirements, Transit Proximity and Development in New York City
    McDonnell, Madar & Been 1 Minimum Parking Requirements, Transit Proximity and Development in New York City Simon McDonnell* Josiah Madar Vicki Been Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy New York University 110 West 3rd Street Room 209F New York 10012 *Corresponding Author ABSTRACT New York City policymakers are planning for a city of over 9 million residents by 2030, a large increase from today. A central goal of City officials is to accommodate this increase while simultaneously improving the City’s overall environmental performance, addressing externalities arising from traffic congestion and providing increased access to affordable housing. The requirement in the City’s zoning code that new residential construction be accompanied by a minimum number of off-street parking spaces, however, may conflict with this goal. Critics argue that parking requirements bundle the cost of unnecessary new parking with new housing, not only increasing the cost of housing, but also reducing the density at which it can be built. Facilitating car ownership by requiring parking may also lead to increases in auto-related externalities. In this research, we combine a theoretical discussion of parking requirements in New York City with a quantitative analysis of how they relate to transit and development opportunity. Using lot-level data and GIS we estimate two measures of the parking requirement for each lot and at a City, borough and neighborhood level. Our results indicate that the per unit parking requirement is, on average, lower in areas near rail transit stations, consistent with the City’s development goals. However, we also find that the required number of spaces per square foot of land area is higher, on average, in these areas.

  • 2016-1: in the Matter of Campaign for One New York and United for Affordable NYC
    2016-1: In the Matter of Campaign for One New York and United for Affordable NYC July 6, 2016 The New York City Campaign Finance Board (the “Board” or “CFB”) issues this determination concerning a complaint received on February 22, 2016 from Common Cause/NY (“the Complaint”). The issue presented is whether a candidate, Bill de Blasio (“Mr. de Blasio”), and his 2017 campaign for Mayor (the “2017 Campaign”) have violated the Campaign Finance Act (“the Act”) and Board Rules by establishing and cooperating closely with Campaign for One New York (“C41NY”) and United for Affordable NYC (“UFANYC”). The Board’s central mandate is to protect the integrity of the Act and administer the Campaign Finance Program (“the Program”). The effectiveness of the Program depends on the Act’s contribution and expenditure limits, which restrict the potential influence of large special interest donors. The Board is concerned about candidates engaging in cooperation with outside organizations that have made expenditures on issue advocacy communications promoting the candidate, especially organizations that raise contributions that would be otherwise impermissible under the Act. Such cooperative activity raises the question of whether these organizations are making expenditures in connection with a covered election. The Board simultaneously issues Advisory Opinion 2016-1 to provide further guidance in this area of the law. The Advisory Opinion provides a basis for the Board to review the issue presented by the Complaint, and establishes a set of factors the Board will consider to determine whether coordinated expenditures were made in connection with a covered election. The Board has determined that C41NY is not independent of the 2017 Campaign.

  • DIFFERENTIATING EXCLUSIONARY TENDENCIES John Infranca
    DIFFERENTIATING EXCLUSIONARY TENDENCIES John Infranca* Abstract Despite an academic consensus that easing land use regulations to increase the supply of housing can help lower housing prices, local opposition to new development remains prevalent. Onerous zoning regulations and resistance to new housing persist not only in wealthy suburbs, but also in lower income urban neighborhoods. In addition to making housing more expensive, such policies increase residential segregation, exacerbate urban sprawl, and have detrimental environmental effects. If increasing supply tends to reduce costs, what explains this opposition, particularly during a period of rising housing costs? One factor is concern about the localized costs of greater density and its effect on neighborhood character and livability. There is a perception that new development may, by changing the character and desirability of its immediate neighborhood, play some role in increasing housing prices and exacerbating gentrification and displacement in lower income communities. Empirical evidence suggests this is not the case, but efforts to exclude new development and demands for greater local control over land use persist in lower income urban neighborhoods. These tendencies mirror responses in wealthier communities. This Article compares these exclusionary tendencies and asks whether there is a normative basis for differentiating them. It concludes that there is a modest case for distinct treatment, based on a combination of factors including the historical treatment of lower income urban communities, the more fragile relationship between property and personhood in such neighborhoods, the structure of local government law, and the principle of subsidiarity. However, any preferential treatment must avoid undermining broader efforts towards reducing regulatory and procedural obstacles to denser development and increased housing supply.

  • Invest in Human Services, Not Over-Policing Our Communities
    June 2nd, 2020 Mayor Bill de Blasio City Hall New York, NY 10007 RE: Invest in Human Services, Not Over-policing Our Communities Dear Mayor de Blasio, The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified what the community based organizations (CBOs) in the human services sector have always known about inequities that exist within the institutions that all New Yorkers rely on. The outrage that has been expressed in our city – and across the country – over the last few days is not solely representative of an isolated incident, it is a reflection of the anger and frustration that exists from inequity and injustice being born on the backs of communities of color, immigrants, and low-income New Yorkers over and over again. A strong social safety net is the only way that our city survives a crisis. As we experience the unprecedented intersection of a health crisis, a social justice crisis, and an economic crisis that could devastate our city for years, even decades to come, not all City agencies are bearing the burden. We were dismayed to see that the FY2021 Executive Budget makes cuts to crucial programs and social services that serve the very communities who are being hardest hit by COVID-19 — communities of color, immigrants, and low-income New Yorkers — while maintaining funding for the NYPD, an institution that too often fails to protect and serve, and disproportionately harms, these exact communities. Services like senior food programs, homeless services, youth development, employment programs, public health and others – proven tools that help us protect and serve communities – are experiencing more demand than ever before, but instead of enhancing funding to these programs, the City is proposing more cuts.
