Cheryl McKissack Daniel, the President and CEO of McKissack and McKissack, highlights the ongoing challenges posed by bureaucratic obstacles in New York City's real estate development. During a recent interview, she emphasized that the construction industry in NYC has been significantly hindered by excessive red tape, which complicates and delays projects.
