The Mayor’s controversial “City of Yes” housing plan advanced through two critical committees on Nov. 21, the last step before a full council vote on Dec. 5 will determine its fate.
The plan, which incorporates adjustments that were hashed out during the committee phase, includes $5 billion in funds for affordable housing projects. To achieve its goal of “a little more housing in every neighborhood,” the proposal calls for a series of changes to the city’s zoning and building regulations that would allow developers to build more units of different types of housing citywide.
