Opinion: NYC Needs Smart Growth & Affordability, Not Unchecked Hikes in Density
Briefly

"Queens Community Board 13 agrees with its Queens Borough President Donovan Richard on one major point with respect to City of Yes for Housing Opportunity: the need for thoughtful collaborations and robust commitments from the city and the state when it comes to the creation of new housing."
"The board adopted a resolution unanimously (41-0) on June 24, 2024 that recommends rejection of the provisions of City of Yes for Housing in its entirety."
"Community review remains important and paramount; it offers an opportunity for the community, community boards, borough presidents, borough boards, the Department of City Planning and-especially and critically at this juncture, as City of Yes goes before them-our elected members of the City Council."
"Each of the provisions of City of Yes for Housing Opportunity would remove traditional New York City Charter-mandated community board, borough president and City Council reviews of uses not permitted under existing zoning and land use provisions."
