The city\u2019s plan would add the equivalent of Philadelphia to NYC by 2030, but without adding any land.<\/p>\n

ICYMI: The City has released its draft Fair\u00a0Housing Growth Strategy report<\/a>, a blueprint for new housing development in\u00a0NYC<\/a>\u00a0through 2030.\u00a0It proposes NYC increase its number of housing units by 700,000, or 20%, by the year 2030. That\u2019s the equivalent of adding Philadelphia, or a sixth borough, to NYC in just over a decade, but without adding any new land.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Each neighborhood would be expected to contribute its share to this enormous rate of growth. In fact, each Community Board would need to add the equivalent of a Hudson Yards or a Long Island City to meet the goal, which would be backed up by subsequent rezonings and other measures.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"(Upper l.) Hudson Yards; (lower l.) Long Island City; (m.)\u00a05-11 West 13th Street<\/a>; (r.) 52 East 4th Street\/353 Bowery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In\u00a0Community Board 2<\/a>\u00a0(Greenwich Village, SoHo, NoHo, Hudson Square), in just the next five years,\u00a0the equivalent of 200 more of the 538 ft. tall tower coming to\u00a05-11 West 13th Street<\/a>\u00a0would be required. In\u00a0Community Board 3<\/a>\u00a0(East Village, Lower East Side), it\u2019s the equivalent of 530 more of the 210 ft. tall tower at\u00a052 East 4th Street\/353 Bowery<\/a>. And by far most of the housing would be market rate, extremely expensive, and unaffordable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Read more on our webpage\u00a0HERE<\/a>, and read the comments we submitted about the plan\u00a0HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Once finalized and adopted, the plan will guide city policies and subsequent actions like rezonings and other land use approvals to meet these targets. The City is accepting comments through Saturday, September 19.\u00a0We strongly urge you to write + share your concerns.\u00a0<\/p>\n
