It's the Brian Laire Show on WNYC.

Good morning again everyone.

Governor Kathy Hockel joins us now with details

of what she says is a conceptual agreement

with us.

Welcome back to WNYC. Thanks Brian looking

So can you give us any specifics first of all of the so-called good cause eviction rent

increase limits or the tax breaks that developers could get as part

of a deal for building how much affordable housing.

Well Brian, as you mentioned, this is still a conceptual agreement all those specific details will be out you know within a matter of days I believe but what that does is when I had that press conference it signals that there is a handshake deal between myself, the

speaker or the assembly and the majority leader of the Senate, that were prepared to

have them go back to their conferences and then bring to us, we'll settle on the final detail.

So all that will be out there, but I will say, we realize and everyone talks about

this shortage of housing crisis and the fact that New York City has a 1.4% vacancy rate I knew the

only way out an economist know the only way out is to build more housing and

ultimately the larger the housing supply you have
