During the Joel Engardio recall campaign, Engardio's opponents popularized a sound bite claiming that Engardio's support for Mayor Daniel Lurie's upzoning plan would turn Ocean Bean into Miami Beach. Though with Engardio now recalled, the Miami meme remains entrenched in the discourse.
The City of Yes for Housing Opportunity was a good example. It was explicitly designed to add a little housing in every community, but not the same amount in every community, to avoid changing their character. It was proportional, meaning dense areas like Midtown South would get more units than low-scale neighborhoods such as College Point, Whitestone, Bayside, Douglaston and Little Neck, all of which Paladino represents.
