Reply to comment by CactusBoyScout in “Adams Plan Would Relax Rules for Developers Amid N.Y.C. Housing Crisis” The mayor proposed reducing requirements that he said slow the construction of new homes as the city contends with a housing crisis. by CactusBoyScout

Partly is an understatement. The requirement not only led to significant vacancies when people up and left at its implementation, but it’s got a number of severe downstream impacts. The city’s now understaffed to even manage hiring. Never mind how complex and long the hiring process was for many city positions before, now they simply don’t have the bodies to read applications in a timely manner.
