A little more housing in every neighborhood. Views mine.

This is related to why affordable housing groups like ANHD support Q2: because it will facilitate delivery of affordable housing including through CLTs and the Social Housing Development Authority as laid out in @emilyassembly.bsky.social’s bill, if passed.

“10 Council districts produced just seven units of affordable housing in total during the first six months of this year. Four produced none” — www.thecity.nyc/2025/10/29/a...
These Council Districts Produced Zero Affordable Homes This Year
Voters are deciding on a proposal to bypass the City Council on planned developments in the neighborhoods that have built the least. They include swaths of eastern Queens and southern Brooklyn.

On this point, I think you’re looking at the “interim report,” which had proposals that were further refined by public comment. The “final report” outlines that the Appeals Board was limited to affordable housing: www.nyc.gov/assets/chart...

So, by creating an alternative process that might work for small projects, the hope is that we’ll actually see more small housing proposals enter public review. The proposal doesn’t take anything “as of right” and make it discretionary tomorrrow. (2/2)

Hi! The point the report is making is that the modest housing projects eligible for ULURP are almost never proposed today. For example, there wasn’t a single project seeking a residential bump of 30% or less in ULURP in the last 10 years. (1/2)
