The city’s failure to produce enough housing has real and direct human consequences: high rents, displacement pressure, segregation, gentrification, and increased tenant harassment and homelessness, among other ills. City of Yes for Housing Opportunity will create a little more housing in every neighborhood. City of Yes focuses on tailored policies to support more housing from the highest-density to lowest-density areas. Taken together, these small changes will have a big impact on New Yorkers' housing needs. New York City has not produced enough housing to keep up with the rapid population and job growth that our city has experienced in recent decades. As a result, more than half of New York City’s renters spend over a third of their income on rent, homeownership is increasingly out of reach, working New Yorkers face long commutes, and displacement pressure is stronger. The Zoning Text Amendment was certified on April 29th, 2024 and the clock is ticking to get this approved by the end of the year! https://actionnetwork.org/letters/support-the-city-of-yes-for-housing-opportunity-2
