New York City is set to experience a significant overhaul in housing policy with the introduction of the 'City of Yes' plan, aimed at removing outdated and overly restrictive zoning rules to facilitate the construction of truly affordable housing. This initiative, supported by both city and state officials, seeks to build a modest amount of housing in every neighborhood, thereby lowering rent and making NYC more accessible for working-class residents. Mayor Adams emphasized that this plan will cut red tape and help New Yorkers. The plan is part of a broader state budget deal expected to exceed $233 billion and is on the brink of passing the state legislature. Additionally, New York State officials have announced a framework for a package of housing laws to address the housing crisis.
