Julie Reyes, Chairperson of Bronx Community Board No. 8, testifies in strong opposition to the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity proposal. She emphasizes that the proposal was developed without community input and could potentially eliminate important review processes, including ULURP.

  • Reyes argues that the proposal lacks guarantees for truly affordable housing and may negatively impact NYCHA developments and environmentally sensitive areas.
  • She criticizes the proposal for potentially reducing the role of community boards and City Council members in land use decisions.
  • Reyes mentions that Community Board 8 has submitted additional materials for consideration.
