Mayor Eric Adams' City of Yes for Housing Opportunity plan, approved by the City Council, amends zoning laws to allow more housing construction in previously restricted neighborhoods. This initiative aims to create 82,000 new homes over the next 15 years, addressing the severe housing crisis in New York City, evidenced by a vacancy rate of just 1.4%. However, opposition emerges from civic groups claiming environmental and socioeconomic oversight, leading to a lawsuit citing violations of the State Environmental Quality Review Act.
