CB 10 is Unfavorable Towards The City of Yes
Tonight, Community Board 10 shared their extensive review of the City of Yes. They didn’t take this issue lightly.
Tonight’s meeting was held in a very small room that could hold only 50 people – Why?
Community Board 10 has been rezoned before. When there was a rezoning, it was done carefully to make things work in the community. Some parts of NYC have not had any rezonings.
CB 10 found that the City of Yes will make the property values even higher and there will be adverse affects on the neighborhood. If they want the City of Yes to have affordability there needs to be a carve out for affordability. More density will not make the neighborhood less expensive. And property taxes will increase as well.
The City of Yes does not account for problems with electricity, sewers or overcrowded schools in Community Board 10. Illegal conversions in Dyker Heights are still an issue.
In July, there will be a hearing and then NYC Council will vote on it.
