Mount Pleasant, Westchester County
Rep Mike Lawler surrounded by local officials strongly criticized Gov Kathy Hochuls housing plan to add hundreds of thousands of units statewide

Congressman Mike Lawler (R-Pearl River) blasted Gov. Kathy Hochul for preparing to press forward with her proposed housing plan that he and other officials have charged would irreparably damage many of the region’s communities.

Joined by state and local elected officials from Westchester and Rockland counties at a Friday press conference at the Hawthorne Metro-North station, Lawler lambasted the governor, particularly for the transited-oriented development segment of her New York Housing Compact along with the proposed MTA payroll tax hike and proposing the largest spending plan in state history at $227 billion.

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.
