Chloe Fitoussi, a native New Yorker and mother, connects the high cost of housing to the unaffordability of other essentials like childcare. She supports streamlining ULURP as proposed by Annemarie Gray and urges the commission to present bold reforms—potentially including randomized recruitment or agency restructuring—to voters, arguing incremental change is insufficient.

Hi.
3:12:40
My name is Chloe Fitousi.
3:12:41
I'm a native New Yorker and a mother of two.
3:12:44
I am here because unaffordable housing doesn't just mean unaffordable housing.
3:12:48
As we all know, it means that everything else becomes unaffordable too from coffee to child care as I know too well.
3:12:55
I'm pardoned by tonight's consensus that should be reformed, and I support Anne Marie's recommendation to streamline the process, accepting community inputs but doing so more quickly, ultimately bringing down costs.
3:13:07
I also want a second earlier testimony.
3:13:10
Voters will vote on these reforms.
3:13:12
Let's bring them some bold thinking from randomized recruiting to performing city agencies and allow the democratic process to show us what the city wants.
3:13:24
Incremental changes are not gonna suffice, and I urge you to meet the moment.
3:13:27
Thank you.
