🚨 Big News for Manhattan Housing! 🚨 Mayor Eric Adams has announced “The Manhattan Plan” — an ambitious project to add 100,000 new housing units across Manhattan in the next decade. That’s equivalent to building another Upper West Side or nine more StuyTown developments! The plan aims to make housing more affordable for families and bring more working-class residents back to the city. With a goal of reaching 1 million total homes on the island, this initiative could reshape NYC housing. #HousingSolutions #UrbanDevelopment #NYC

I recently came across Mayor Adams's housing proposal, a significant part of NYC's development plan named "City of Yes." This proposal, amidst a broader economic development strategy, particularly caught my attention for its moderate yet impactful approach to addressing the city's housing needs. Despite its sensible call for light and incremental development by loosening zoning and building codes, it faces opposition from some affluent suburban neighborhoods. For those unfamiliar with NYC's landscape, the provided links offer valuable insights through detailed maps. They showcase the vast opportunities for additional housing and the prevalence of low-density areas, shedding light on the root of much of the opposition.

“Families aren’t going to move to a 400-square-foot unit in the Entertainment District,” said Christopher Bibby, a broker specializing in downtown condominiums. “Developers push this narrative of a housing shortage, but in fact they didn’t build what was really needed.” My latest contribution in The New York Times https://lnkd.in/geZDTZAW

Tonight, Fayetteville’s City Council will vote on the proposed rezoning of the 71B Corridor. This project could be a pivotal moment in addressing our community's housing needs. Currently, many properties along 71B are zoned for commercial use only, but the proposed Urban Corridor district would allow both housing and commercial spaces to coexist—providing new opportunities for mixed-use development. This flexible zoning aligns with the 71B Corridor Plan, City Plan 2040, and Fayetteville's 2023 Housing Assessment. While the rezoning doesn’t require property owners to redevelop, it creates options for future growth that could help ease the housing crisis by increasing availability of attainable homes. Want to stay informed? Be part of the process! Join the City Council meeting tonight at 5:30 p.m. to hear more and see how this change might impact the future of our city. #Fayetteville #CommunityInvolvement #HousingCrisis #SmartGrowth #StayInformed #GroundworkNWA #FutureIsNow #housingfornwa

Construction Begins on 26-Story Building Next to High Bridge The Bronx skyline is set for a major change as construction begins on The Highbridge, a 26-story mixed-use development next to the historic High Bridge. Scheduled for completion in 2027, the 400,000-square-foot project will include 421 residential units, with 125 available via NYC’s Housing Connect lottery and 190 units dedicated to supporting unhoused families and individuals. Led by Samaritan Daytop Village, Inc., the development will offer supportive services, transitional housing, and amenities like rooftop recreational spaces and community facilities. While hopes are high for the project’s impact on affordable housing, local concerns about accessibility for low-income residents remain. read more: https://lnkd.in/gk7au4ik #constructionprojects #bronxconstruction

The demand for affordable and diverse housing options in Pittsburgh is as high as ever. But very few new housing types are being built except for huge apartment buildings and single family houses. The answer, more “missing middle” housing! “Missing middle” housing, like duplexes, quad-plexs, and townhouses offer a solution by providing affordable, scalable options that blend into existing neighborhoods without altering their character. This is common throughout the country, where only 10% of new housing includes missing middle types, despite 43% of Americans preferring walkable neighborhoods. #HousingCrisis #UrbanPlanning #AffordableHousing https://lnkd.in/eH34s8Ha

It's disheartening (and alarming) that Chicago, Philadelphia, and San Francisco are absent from this map. While I commend the cities across the country that are building to address the housing crisis, there's still a lot of work to be done. I'll give Jersey City their deserved props though. Please keep up the momentum 👏 https://lnkd.in/eb8BdqvT #housing #urbanplanning
