"Under the terms of the settlement, the city will reduce the percentage of affordable apartments set aside for people living in the same community district as a new development to 20 percent from 50 percent until 2029. Starting in May 2029, the share drops to 15 percent."
"Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement that the agreement allows the city to maintain the community preference policy, which he said was critical to adding affordable housing in partnership with communities across the city.
