New York City voters will have the opportunity to vote on five measures in the upcoming November election. One measure seeks to fast-track affordable housing by expediting public review processes in communities with limited options. Another measure proposes moving city elections to even-numbered years to coincide with federal elections, aiming to increase voter turnout. These proposals stem from a recent report by the Charter Revision Commission, which intends to dismantle practices that impede housing and infrastructure development, particularly targeting the City Council's use of member deference.
The first ballot measure would fast-track affordable housing by expediting public review for communities with limited affordable housing, while the second measure would simplify the review process for modest infrastructure projects.
The proposals come from a report released by the Charter Revision Commission, which aimed to remove barriers to affordable housing and infrastructure construction.
