In The New York Times article, "40 Ideas to Make New York City More Affordable," WXY's founding principal, Claire Weisz, proposes an innovative solution to help families facing rising childcare costs. Claire's idea calls for integrating childcare spaces into buildings over 20,000 square feet, funded through a real estate tax.

This approach highlights the importance of designing buildings that serve not just as places to live or work but as resources that meet the community's everyday needs. By addressing challenges like childcare accessibility, design can create a more equitable and livable New York City.
