Considering the NY-Newark metro area has ~18M people, 120k proposed housing units (at ~2.5 persons per household) is about a 1% increase above the base rate of housing, assuming no vacancies and one household per unit. Considering the already astronomical price of housing in the area, it's hard to imagine that this is really going to move the needle. If we were serious about reducing housing cost, you'd see 3-5x the number of proposed units as you do, or more.
