IN THE NEWS: HOLCHUL FACES AN "UPRISING" OVER HER PLAN TO BUILD NEW HOUSING IN NYC SUBURBS

FOR THOSE FOLLOWING RE-ZONING, LOW INCOME HOUSING ISSUES, PACE, HUDSON WELLNESS,  ETC.-- Hochul faces an ‘uprising’ over her plan to build new housing in NYC suburbs

Her proposal would impose a 3 percent growth target for New York City and surrounding suburbs to be met every three years. By comparison, over the last three years, Long Island increased its housing stock by just 0.6 percent, while the lower Hudson Valley grew by 1.7 percent.

If the targets aren’t met or new zoning changes aren’t made, a state appeals process would allow certain projects to circumvent local zoning restrictions. Another measure would require municipalities to permit a minimum level of housing density within a half mile of train stations.
