NYC Mayor's "City of Yes" Housing Plan Opposed by Most Queens Community Boards

Jul 24, 2024

The city’s lowest density community districts — where very little housing has been built despite a citywide crisis — are opposing the mayor’s citywide rezoning proposal that seeks to build 'a little more housing in every neighborhood,'" reported Streetsblog. "Community boards in the city's densest neighborhoods are generally recommending that the City Council pass Mayor Adams's "City of Yes" housing initiative, which hopes to spur development by allowing for greater density around transit and by lifting parking mandates, according to a Streetsblog review of the votes from 57 of the 59 community boards that have weighed in.
