On ballots this year, Gotham voters will see five proposals for changes to the City Charter: Four would improve the city, the fifth could worsen it.
New Yorkers should vote “yes” on Proposals 2, 3, 4 and 5 , and “no” on Prop No. 6.
Props 2, 3 and 4 could lead to a significant boost in the city’s affordable-housing stock, something Gotham sorely needs .
Prop 5 requires the City Planning Department to create and oversee a single, consolidated digital City Map, bringing it into the 21 century.
Proposal No. 2: Fast Track Affordable Housing to Build More Affordable Housing Across the City. This would create a new system that cuts months off the approval process for publicly financed affordable-housing projects and those in areas where relatively little of it is being developed.
