Creating a little more housing in every neighborhood will make a big difference in our citywide housing shortage!
Watch @nycmayor lay out the vision for #CityofYes for Housing Opportunity at last night’s Staten Island mayoral townhall:
Key components of City of Yes for Housing Opportunity are grouped into: low-density proposals, applicable to R1-R5 zoning districts, medium and high-density proposals, applicable to R6-R10 zoning districts and citywide proposals.

Did you know that in the last decade, NYC added 800,000 jobs but only 200,000 homes?
A big reason is outdated zoning laws that prevent us from building the housing New Yorkers need.
It's time for an update! housingopportunity.nyc #CityOfYes
We don’t have enough affordable housing in high-demand neighborhoods. Let’s build more!
