"Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's ambitious plan to create affordable housing in the city has been greeted with almost universal acclaim. Most of the attention has focused on his commitment to spend $3 billion over the next five years to build or rehabilitate more than 65,000 apartments and houses. Virtually unnoticed, however, is an aspect of the plan that will generate many more homes for New Yorkers of all incomes: a major revision of the city's archaic building code and zoning laws."
