Ken, a member of the public, testifies in strong support of streamlining the housing approval process to fast-track development in all neighborhoods.

He suggests using a 'Builder's Remedy' approach to counteract member deference used to block housing.

He also recommends making the Landmarks Preservation Commission's role advisory, not a veto, in housing matters, or requiring them to consider housing needs, citing the South Street Seaport project as an example where he believes aesthetics overshadowed housing needs.
