One day isn't definitive, but it's crazy to see these forces at work on a rush hour. Congestion Pricing in action

Leeeettttssss gooooooo
Just in: New Jersey’s request for a TRO has been denied. Congestion pricing goes live in 27 hours and 36 minutes.

"City of 'meh', more housing nowhere."
the administration will be making a significant funding commitment on infrastructure and affordable housing (details also TBD), if you count that as a win for COY advocates

my god these City of Yes concessions are getting worse. An absolute dereliction of duty by @council.nyc.gov. Political cowardice like this is why New York has been losing population, house seats, and electoral votes and will continue to do so unless we change course.

New York City is no longer a serious city. This is embarrassing and we're digging our grave for the next 2 decades.
Deal emerging on City of Yes, per source:
• Parking mandates will vary by 3 zones (exact areas TBD)
• Substantial carveouts for ADUs: banned in flood/coastal zones, & historic districts. Also banned in some low-density zoning districts: R1-2A, R2A & R3A.
• ADUs capped at 1 story
(cont.)
Instead of eliminating parking mandates in NYC, the City Council will change City of Yes to create 3 tiers w/ different parking levels, source says. (Confirming @smaldo.bsky.social)

But no other huge changes seem likely for the housing plan before tmrw's vote:

Haven't had to open a weather app to check radar in a few weeks. Feels real weird.
