This November, New York City ballots will feature five proposals approved by the Charter Revision Commission aimed at addressing housing affordability and election scheduling. The proposals include amendments to streamline housing project approvals, limit councilmember veto power, and replace the mayor's veto with a three-person board for appeals. The adjustments target districts with low affordable housing to facilitate faster development processes, especially in areas historically resistant to affordable projects.
New York City ballots this November will include four land-use proposals and a bid to shift municipal election years after a special panel voted to advance their suggestions.
The first two proposals alter the city's current process for approving new housing development by shortening and streamlining the review timeline while limiting councilmembers' unofficial veto power over projects.
