"The polling is pretty decisive that overwhelming majorities of New Yorkers feel that parking mandates are a perfectly reasonable sacrifice at the altar of bringing down housing costs," Slingshot pollster Evan Roth Smith told Streetsblog.
"The staunchest opponents of any element of 'City of Yes' are more likely to be older, whiter, higher income and own their homes - and less likely to have kids in school, which helps explain why their voices have been so loud," Smith said.
Overall, 81 percent of city registered voters support 'a zoning reform proposal [that] would address the housing shortage by making it possible to build a little more housing in every neighborhood,' the poll found.
Support dropped to a smaller majority of 68 percent among voters who make between $150,000 and $200,000 per year, and to 59 percent among those making over $200,000, the poll found.
