We need to build housing at all price points in all neighborhoods. That’s why projects like this one, which will support vital new housing opportunity in the Bronx, are so important for our #CityOfYes . @DanGarodnick

The Bruckner rezoning will build affordable housing for seniors and veterans, allow more access to nutritious food and welcome new people to a great community. We must be a City of Yes to keep evolving and thriving. There’s no time to say no.

NYC zoning says you can DJ at a bar, but people can't dance to your music. You can bake bread at a store, but don't make any salsa. Think that's crazy? So do we! Let's update zoning so it supports local businesses instead of hurting them: #CityofYes

Building more homes not only helps solve NYC's housing crisis – it means less homes need to be built in suburbs, which emit up to 4X more household emissions than cities! Let's make it happen: #CityofYes #EarthDay 🌳🏘️

Housing and land use policy is climate policy. Changes to our zoning, like #CityOfYes , are critical tools to achieve our environmental goals. Thanks to @ebottcher and @julietighe17 for leading this conversation!

When discussing environmental conservation, housing policy often doesn't come to mind - but it should. That's because development patterns have a significant impact on the planet. The housing and land use policy decisions that we make in New York City have impacts far beyond our

We agree! With NYC’s rental vacancy at only 1.41%, we must do all we can to build much-needed homes for our most vulnerable residents. #CityofYes for Housing Opportunity would remove exclusionary zoning roadblocks & create more paths to housing stability.

Did you know that in the last decade, NYC added 800,000 jobs but only 200,000 homes? A big reason is outdated zoning laws that prevent us from building the housing New Yorkers need. It's time for an update! #CityOfYes
