Commissioner Anthony Richardson asks developer Jerrod Delaine if the burdensome ULURP process influences developers' decisions on where to build.
Delaine, who develops in other cities, confirms that it does.
He notes that many other cities have a much quicker process, which can influence a developer's decision to build in New York City versus another location.
Richardson requests that Delaine provide the commission with more information comparing New York's process to other cities.
Anthony Richardson

Thank you both for your testimony.
2:13:32
My question is for Gerard.
2:13:34
We've had, developers come and talk to us about how the EULIP process and the time and the resources required have affected or influenced their decisions about where to develop in the city.
Jerrod Delaine
2:13:48
Yes.
Anthony Richardson
2:13:48
I believe that you do development in other cities as well.
Ahmed Tigani
2:13:52
Yes.
2:13:53
Would it be fair
Anthony Richardson
2:13:54
to say it also influences whether you develop here versus another city?
Jerrod Delaine
2:14:00
It does, actually.
2:14:02
Many cities have a much quicker process.
Anthony Richardson
2:14:05
So it would be great if you since you develop in other places, if you could provide some more supporting information around that those type of decisions as well.
2:14:16
So that's all.
Jerrod Delaine
2:14:17
Okay.
2:14:18
I can follow-up with information for you guys.
Jim Walden
2:14:20
It's not a problem.
Anthony Richardson
