Zoning code has stifled development?

From The Real Deal:

The Department of City Planning will hold a conference this fall in hopes of finding a way to simplify the 1,500-page zoning resolution, whose current complexity apparently stifles developers and architects. According to the Wall Street Journal, urban planners find the current document so confusing that they're discouraged from development, and a recent court ruling forced the city to rewrite hundreds of sections because of the imprecise meanings of the words "development" and "building."

You have to be fully retarted to think that people are "discouraged" from development in this city.

There is so much crap being built and overdevelopment of neighborhoods that I actually wish the city would discourage development for a while.

A moratorium would be a great idea until the city has caught up with upgrading its infrastructure to keep pace with its current state of over development!

I'll put that thought under my pillow tonight and hope that the tooth fairy will grant me that wish.

That real estate is being discouraged is of course a big joke.

The real issue here is the on going inability of the media to cover the real estate topic professionally defined as giving a balanced factual picture.

his pension is the objective now.

Most developers and landlords in this city are not even American and therefore registered voters, so how can you determine their political party? The tweeders who accept their money however, are a different story.
