A new proposal aimed at facilitating the housing crisis of New York would leave room for approximately 10,000 apartments in some portions of the center of Manhattan that recently allows a new residential construction, a quarter of the hope of vigorizing a domain that came here to constitute a economic challenge. .
The plan, which town officials presented Tuesday at a assembly of the making plans committee, seeks to replace the zoning of 42 houses in the neighborhood. This would permit some 9,700 further houses, adding 2,900 designed to be for New Yorkers with moderate or low-income income.
“It is unfathomable that in a domain like this center, with such a horrible housing crisis, that if you seek to build housing here, our own regulations would simply allow it,” said Dan Garodnick, leader of the Department of Manufacturing Plans.
The plan will have to be approved through the City Council, which deserves a vote this year. It most likely happens because it has the two Manhattan advisers, Keith Powers and Erik Bottcher, who make up the region, which was struggling to recover from the depths of the coronavirus pandemic.
Bottcher said: “It is not logical that we have sides of the Midtown Manhattan that are not the accommodation at all. “
But he said that, as discussions about the plan continue in the coming months, it will be vital fashion.
