City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams emphasized the importance of action in addressing the city's housing crisis, stating, 'This council cannot be the body that says 'no' to people that need a place to live.' Her emotional appeal highlighted the necessity of aiding the homeless and offering solutions rather than turning away from the issue.
Mayor Eric Adams described the legislation as a major milestone for working-class New Yorkers, claiming, 'Today is a historic day in New York City... We showed the nation that government can still be bold and brave by passing the most pro-housing piece of legislation in city history.' He anticipates benefits from the plan in terms of lower rents.
