New York City Mayor Eric Adams has an ambitious plan to revamp housing development across the five boroughs, promising to bring tens of thousands of new affordable units. However, the proposal, currently under public review, has encountered deep scrutiny as more than half of the city's 59 community boards have voted unfavorably and conditionally unfavorably against the measure.
But this week, the plan, titled City of Yes, secured "conditional support" from Queens Borough President Donovan Richards, making him the fourth of out five borough presidents to endorse the plan. Staten Island Borough President Vitto Fossella remains unfavorable.
