Yes, and most of the City's action is years out of date. There is a 'crisis' (although I can point out about 8 other housing crisis headlines over the last 50 years, and even one where the crisis was that there was too much housing and no tenants!), and the crisis gets bigger, then at the peek the City starts to study the situation, then the crisis starts to subside, then the City starts to act, then the crisis wanes and the City continues full steam to correct a problem that does not require intervention. See Tom Gunton about 1983.

This is a very interesting analysis. While we don't need the Broadway Plan to provide sufficient housing, your argument does not address the City's claim that it has to have all that density proposed under the Broadway Plan to justify and support the subway. What is your response to that?
