NYC's 'City of Yes' Housing Plan Advances with Key Council Approval
TL;DR Summary
The New York City Council committees have approved Mayor Eric Adams' 'City of Yes' zoning proposal, aimed at accelerating housing construction to address the city's housing crisis. Despite some concessions that may reduce the number of new housing units, the plan is seen as a significant step forward. It includes changes to zoning codes to promote development near transit stations and allow more flexible use of residential spaces. The proposal, which could add up to 80,000 housing units over 15 years, now awaits a full Council vote.
