Good morning NYC! It's a great day to say YES to #CityOfYes for Housing Opportunity!

We're expecting NYC council to vote on #CityOfYes today, paving the way for thousands of more homes in the city — as well as more jobs and economic stimulus.
City of Yes — More Than Just Housing
Passing the full scope of City of Yes would mean 15,000-30,000 new jobs generating between $1.1 and $2.1 billion in earnings each year, and an overall economic impact of between $41 and $83 billion.

If you support building housing without expensive and arcane parking requirements, tell #NYC City Council to pass #CityOfYes now. It's down to the wire. #YIMBY
🚨 Big news from Newport News, VA! They’ve just abolished costly minimum parking requirements citywide! 🎉

This makes it the 16th biggest U.S. city to drop parking mandates!

RPA is thrilled that #CityOfYes is moving forward after the subcommittee vote today!

There is still much to be done — #CityOfYes is only one tool in the toolbox to deliver the affordable housing we need. We call on City Council to vote YES in December!

NYC has the opportunity to be a leader on housing in our region with #CityOfYes for Housing Opportunity.

We're excited for City Council to vote on #CityOfYes tomorrow (and calling on them to say YES to City of Yes)!

When CBs decry the #CityofYes for taking away their ability to review, they're talking about this process that's been recognized as a national disgrace by the White House.
NEW: The White House just released a new report that singles out NYC for its long permitting times for new homes 🏠

How long does it take to permit a new home in NYC?

2 years, adding $50,000 (!!!) to the cost of every new home. A short 🧵

Got to work with NYC Planning on a series of watercolor illustrations for their #CityOfYes Housing Opportunity guide to proposed zoning changes to make it possible to build more homes in New York.

It's just been released, link is here: www.nyc.gov/assets/plann...

Glad to see we're saving Middle Village for the next rezoning around strategic retreat!!

I see NIMBY DINO Bob got his way!!

It is soooo dumb that we're not densifying the higher ground... So dumb.

Good morning! It’s a beautiful day to say yes to more housing in NYC.

RPA is joining housing advocates at City Hall Park at 10am today to say YES to #CityOfYes for Housing Opportunity.

We hope to see you there!

#CityOfYes paves the way for accessory dwelling units, a great tool for creating housing in single-family neighborhoods.

#CityOfYes, passed yesterday, can create 20,000 ADUs in 15 years, RPA told Business Insider
New York City is on the verge of allowing thousands of homeowners to build extra dwellings in their backyard, garage, or basement
New York City is poised to legalize accessory dwelling units in some neighborhoods as part of the mayor's sweeping housing reform package.

Full vote on #CityOfYes for Housing Opportunity expected later this week!

#CityOfYes would allow for ADUs across NYC, opening more homes to more NYers.

New Yorkers are struggling with the price of housing — so let’s take this opportunity to say yes to #CityofYes, and set the city on a more affordable path.

A few thoughts on City of Yes as it advances in the Council.

If you want to know why the #cityofyes bill was such a struggle to get through the #NYC Council Land Use Committee without being compromised/watered down you only have to look at the map of the members of that committee.

With densification in the outerboroughs coming with the passage of #CityOfYes, the railroads present an important opportunity to integrate a new, fast mode into the city's transit network, relieving subway lines and serving as fast and frequent trunks for a more accessible New York.

#CityOfYes isn't just about housing — it's about jobs, wages, and access to opportunity, too.

RPA research earlier this year found that the jobs and earning generated by #CityOfYes for Housing Opportunity would be four times greater than that of the Hudson Tunnel project.

Any NYC mayoral candidate that doesn’t support cityofyes is not serious and should not be supported

NYC is considering the biggest citywide rezoning in several decades, and it's coming to a vote quite soon--there's a hearing next Tuesday. If you want to take action and email your council member for more housing, do it now. actionnetwork.org/letters/supp... #YIMBY #urbanism #cityofyes
