NYC panel weighing ways to build more affordable housing and get voters to the polls through charter revision

Making it easier to build affordable housing in New York City and opening local partisan primaries to voters of any party are just two of the ideas being floated by a local panel that voters may get to decide on this November.

The panel — known as a “Charter Revision Commission” — outlined the proposals prepared by its staff in a preliminary report gleaned from several months of public hearings.
