"The more officers who live in the city the better, the more officers who grew up in the city the better," @NYCMayor says when asked if he& #39;d consider residency requirement for police officers. Says progress has been made but economics/housing affordability make it tricky.
De Blasio says it& #39;s a conversation that& #39;s happened over decades and is worth continuing, but he indicates he doesn& #39;t support a requirement b/c of housing costs. (So why not change all residency reqs in city government then?)
Also what& #39;s interesting here is that de Blasio has often *defended* his big affordable housing program by saying the city must be home for police officers & other middle income city workers. No mention of that in his answer about NYPD residency req.

this is not something i& #39;m pushing for, though i think it& #39;s an important & interesting topic & discussion to have, & i& #39;m surprised by you dismissing it & giving such a flip explanation.
i wasn& #39;t placing it in any type of hierarchy, mentioned it in part bc I hadn& #39;t seen it raised recently but had seen some comments about so many NYPD living on LI
