New York Ballot Proposals Could Spur a Housing Revolution
New Yorkers have a chance to vote on more than just their next mayor, and by approving a series of ballot proposals, they can help spur a housing revolution.
Proposals 2, 3, and 4 aim to accelerate the approval process for affordable and mixed-income housing construction, while Proposal 5 modernizes and consolidates city mapping functions.
- Fast-track initiatives
- Ending the customary veto city council members enjoy over land-use projects in their districts
- Creation of an Affordable Housing Appeals Board
These measures will streamline decisions on where and what kind of housing can be built, cutting a seven-month approval process down to 90 days.
By approving a series of ballot proposals, they can help spur a housing revolution in the city, paving the way for desperately needed supply-side reforms.
