The sponsor's argument

Why Rachel May says this is needed

The prices of homes and rent amounts are raising rapidly in both New York State and around the country. One main reason for increased housing and rent prices is a lack of housing supply. In New York State we have little data at the statewide level to know how much, what type, and where new housing is being built. This bill will collect and aggregate data on new housing construction at the state level to learn more about our housing supply to give policymakers better tools to help make poli- cies to help New Yorkers afford their homes.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
