"New New York" was a vision to make this city the best it can be.

With more to come!

We fought for working-class New Yorkers, and we DELIVERED.
Our #CityofYes for Housing Opportunity plan takes on our affordable housing crisis with 80,000 new homes across every neighborhood.
This is a victory for all of us.
New York City said ‘YES’ to the City of Yes!

"Mixed-use neighborhoods are the lifeblood of New York City. These enclaves — where people live, work, learn and play — contribute significantly to the city’s economy by supporting thousands of jobs, housing units, and businesses."

We should say YES to:
⭐️ Filling storefronts
⭐️ Creating spaces for businesses
⭐️ Updating rules from 1961
⭐️ Making neighborhoods convenient and thriving
The City of Yes for Economic Opportunity will improve outdated zoning and make it all possible!

Thank you @KeithPowersNYC for your supportive testimony on our #CityofYes for Economic Opportunity proposal @NYCPlanning — and in particular your leadership taking aim at burdensome rules that over-regulate dancing.
Thank you @the_juliest@UnionSquareNY & James Mettham @FlatironNY for your support of #CityofYes for Economic Opportunity - an initiative to spur innovation & job creation for New Yorkers, and to get antiquated zoning rules out of the way. @NYCPlanning https://t.co/VuIeBzY3hQ
New York City will award nearly $100 million in tax breaks to two Manhattan buildings over the next 20 years as part of a program to encourage renovation of old office space. https://t.co/Kn71DaxyRe
M-CORE is revitalizing vacant office space in Manhattan. The transformational upgrades will deliver a dynamic experience for occupants, address environmental needs, and attract world-class tenants to work, live, and play in New York City.
