Many opponents of Mayor Adams's City of Yes rezoning plan have perpetuated exaggerated claims, suggesting it will lead to massive skyscrapers in peaceful single-family neighborhoods.
The intention behind the rezoning is not to diminish residential zones, but rather to promote more housing options while respecting the character of existing neighborhoods.
The narrative that the City of Yes plan will result in the destruction of classic bodega culture or overrun streets with parking lots is misleading and simplifies complex urban planning discussions.
It's crucial to debunk the myths surrounding this plan because understanding the reality of the City of Yes could lead to actionable housing solutions for New Yorkers.
