CITY OF YES
On December 5, 2024, the New York City Council approved the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity plan. This decision threatens to undermine our neighborhoods, strip away public input on crucial land use decisions, and open the door to unchecked overdevelopment and excessive density.
The City of Yes prioritizes developers over residents, jeopardizing our communities’ character, livability, and long-term sustainability. We need your help to fight back. Your support will fund legal fees for an Article 78 action, compliance costs, and expert consultations as we work to challenge this rezoning plan and advocate for responsible urban planning that puts people first.
Protect Our Communities! Visit our GoFundMe page today and donate generously to support this critical effort.
