Proponents of Adams' controversial 'City of Yes' housing plan rally outside City Hall

"The time is now to turn the tide on the price of rent," Dan Garodnick, the city's planning department chair, told the crowd. "The time is now to create more opportunities for more New Yorkers at all income levels. The time is now to say yes to housing. Are you ready to say yes to housing? This is the week. Let's get it done."

"We have the opportunity to be on the right side of history on this issue," First Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer said at the rally. "Let's not let the loud, well-housed few ignore the voices of 80% of New Yorkers who support the 'City of Yes for Housing' opportunity."
