New York City Mayor Eric Adams' administration has been under pressure to address the city's crippling housing crisis, and in a bold move, Housing Commissioner Adolfo Carrión Jr. has taken the reins with an unorthodox approach.

But will this unconventional strategy be enough to alleviate the city's housing woes, or is it just a Band-Aid on a much deeper problem?
