Most of the NYC housing activists that I follow are very gung-ho about Garcia including Mathew Yglesias and Market Urbanism because of her policies regarding zoning and allowing housing to be built. They come at the issue as one of lack of supply. These activists have not been historically pro-Bloomberg or DeBlasio's approach and in fact have been extremely critical. I don't think it's fair to say Garcia would emulate their approach on housing.

It's almost impressive that you don't mention zoning throughout all of this, the single most important thing in creating a livable, affordable city.
