Creating a little more housing in every neighborhood will make a big difference in our citywide housing shortage!
Watch @nycmayor lay out the vision for #CityofYes for Housing Opportunity at last night’s Staten Island mayoral townhall:
Key components of City of Yes for Housing Opportunity are grouped into: low-density proposals, applicable to R1-R5 zoning districts, medium and high-density proposals, applicable to R6-R10 zoning districts and citywide proposals.

Thanks for meeting MOME at Gotham Sound Expo, including #MadeinNY PA training program grads like Brian Joseph, now a IATSE // #IASolidarity sound mixer!
In the #CityofYes , MOME works to help New Yorkers get sound/audio editors jobs for TV/film, expanding workforce in the world's greatest city.
Did you know that in the last decade, NYC added 800,000 jobs but only 200,000 homes?
A big reason is outdated zoning laws that prevent us from building the housing New Yorkers need.
It's time for an update! housingopportunity.nyc #CityOfYes
We don’t have enough affordable housing in high-demand neighborhoods. Let’s build more!
#CityOfYes for Housing Opportunity would let apartment buildings be 20% larger if the extra homes are affordable to households earning 60% of area median income: housingopportunity.nyc
Help say 'yes' to housing at your local community board!
All 59 community boards in NYC will hold #CityOfYes hearings in the next 2 months. Learn tips and tricks for testifying from Open New York Open Plans on May 9 - register for the webinar below:

At a #CityofYes housing presentation in #CambriaHeights Paul Graziano warned that the city’s housing plans will destroy single-family zoning as it prioritizes upzoning multifamily buildings in residential neighborhoods. ow.ly/mTCg50RAFIq by Naeisha Rose
Staten Island @nycplanning Director Catie Ferrara Iannitto explains how #CityOfYes would work in lower-density areas:
✔️ allowing modest apartment buildings on select sites
✔️ supporting homeowners with small accessory dwelling units & zoning district fixes

ICYMI: last week, we kicked off public review for #CityofYes for Housing Opportunity!
Learn about this plan to tackle NYC's housing crisis + see upcoming opportunities to get involved: nyc.gov/YesHousingOppo…
Awesome evening at Storefront NYC. Good to watch Harriet Hirshhorn's rough cut about the #ESCR (documentary) and view Pat Arnow photographs and MTOPP explain the ramifications of the #CityofYes and encourage us to write our council members. Good to see friends! 📸📽️🎥🎞️🌳
Our housing crisis will require action at all levels of government, and in NYC, we’re thrilled to see #CityofYes for Housing Opportunity moving forward. This proposal will enable each neighborhood to build a bit more housing, making the city more affordable for everyone.
From Germany to South Korea, NYC Planning welcomed delegations from across the globe to NYC this week to discuss our planning work for a more equitable future for our city, including #CityOfYes , neighborhood plans, and more!
Can we PLEASE get some more housing!? An average one bedroom in Forest Hills/Rego Park is minimum $3000. For like 600 sq feet. #cityofyes
Happy #SmallBusinessMonth ! Small businesses are the lifeblood of NYC’s economy and help shape our city’s character.
With #CityOfYes for Economic Opportunity, we’ll update outdated zoning rules so these businesses can grow and thrive into the future: nyc.gov/YesEconomicOpp…
It is insanely ironic that Robert Holden stood before CB6 yesterday, saying he opposes #CityOfYes while also telling us how he tried to move into Rego Park but 'couldn't afford it.' 🤦
Also, making absentee father jokes really dates him.
This is a win-win for entrepreneurs, commercial corridors, & NYC. A vote of YES for the #CityofYes for Economic Opportunity is a resounding vote of NO to storefront vacancies.
