City officials rallied against Mayor Eric Adams’ ballot proposals 2, 3 and 4, which claim to “fast track” affordable housing in all five boroughs, alleging they contain “misleading” language that does not adequately address the current housing crisis. All three proposals will appear on the ballot Nov. 4 to be decided by voters.
During a virtual town hall meeting on Monday, several city officials, including Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and council members from the Queens delegation, explained to more than 100 attendees that the proposals would effectively remove community voices from decisions about new development and housing projects.
