Holden and Ariola denounce ‘City of Yes’ zoning plan ahead of critical Council vote

Council Members Robert Holden and Joann Ariola have issued strong statements opposing the progression of Mayor Eric Adams’ controversial ‘City of Yes’ zoning reform plan through the City Council.

The plan, which underwent slight modifications to strike a final deal with the council, includes a $5 billion commitment from the administration. Despite these changes, both council members remain steadfast in their opposition.
