      John Woelfling, an architect specializing in affordable housing, testified in favor of the City of Yes proposal, arguing it is necessary for a more equitable city that can accommodate future generations of New Yorkers. He shared his professional experience with zoning limitations and emphasized the current mismatch between housing supply and demand.

      • Woelfling has worked on projects limited by FAR, height, and parking requirements, but is also involved in a project in Queens that exceeds current zoning requirements.
      • He highlighted the overwhelming demand for affordable housing projects when they become available through the housing connect lottery.
      • As a Brooklyn resident and community board member, Woelfling acknowledged neighbors' concerns but stressed the importance of addressing the city's supply problem comprehensively.
