ALBANY – NYGOP Chair Ed Cox has criticized Governor Hochul and legislative Democrats for their housing policies. Cox stated, “Governor Hochul and legislative Democrats continue to ignore reality regarding housing. Their policies will continue to mean fewer housing choices, less investment in new housing, and a continued deterioration of existing housing stock.”

Cox further commented on the proposed 'good cause eviction' policy, labeling it a "socialist scheme" that would exacerbate the housing situation. He expressed concern that the Democrats aim to extend the failed housing policies of New York City to the rest of the state, emphasizing that such policies are destined to fail. Cox concluded by asserting, “These policies are doomed to failure.”
