A residential street in Bayside was closed on Monday evening to accommodate the substantial crowd of local residents, including some who traveled from southeast Queens to protest the City of Yes initiative.
In northeast Queens, elected officials and residents gathered once again to make a strong statement in opposition to the plan’s housing component, which seeks to build “a little more housing in every neighborhood” by reducing zoning restrictions. The residents say the planned changes are anything but modest—despite city officials claiming otherwise.
