    As I pointed out in the op-ed with my Queens Community Board 13 colleagues that appeared on City Limits Monday, no need exists to rezone the entire City to accomplish any affordable housing goal (Please read it at: https://citylimits.org/2024/09/16/opinion-nyc-needs-smart-growth-affordability-not-hikes-in-density/.). City just needs to create zoning designations that can be pursued and applied where needed and helpful. Nothing prevents a community-developer (in this case I presume a non-profit developer) collaboration around any compelling community need and benefit.).

    The entire point of the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity is because the process you mention has been ineffective.

    Community boards are one of the major reasons for our housing crisis.

    Casa Celina is an excellent example of infill. The City of Yes for Housing Opportunity should go further and designate all NYCHA developments minimum R6 zoning, which would designate them all “high density campuses.” This would allow for even more housing than the current proposal.
