Council Member Bottcher inquires about the City of Yes plan's projected 100,000 new housing units over 15 years and how it compares to the Regional Plan Association's estimate of 473,000 units needed by 2032. Chair Garodnick responds that while the plan will help, it's not the complete solution to the housing shortage.
- The City of Yes plan is expected to create 58,000 to 108,000 new housing units over 15 years.
- Garodnick acknowledges that more units are needed beyond this plan.
- He mentions other tools and sources, including HPD, neighborhood planning, and improving private application approvals, to address the housing shortage.

the city of yes is anticipated to create a 100,000 new housing units over the next 15 years.
5:52:44
The regional plan association estimates that 473 new units are needed by the year 2032.
5:52:57
Last year, New York City permitted around 11,000 new housing units in all of 2023.

How will this 100,000 first of all, do you agree in the in the 473,000 estimate from the regional plan association.
5:53:20
Will this 100,000 help us reach that goal, or will there still be a large delta if this plan were to pass intact?
5:53:33
That's my first question.
5:53:34
And my second question is, I think a lot of New Yorkers are open to the idea of allowing more housing to be built in their neighborhoods.
