I've read through this and these are the key points: City of Yes for Housing Opportunity 'A little more housing in every neighborhood' *Universal Affordability Preference (allows buildings to add 20% more housing if the units are affordable)* *Office to Residential Conversions initiative aims to revitalize office districts by transforming outdated commercial buildings into residential spaces, addressing both business needs and the housing crisis.* *Town Center Zoning will boost affordable housing by allowing new residences above businesses on commercial streets, enhancing accessibility to local shops, and fostering vibrant, mixed-use communities.* *Accessory Dwelling Units like backyard cottages, garage conversions, and basement apartments can create income for homeowners while maintaining the neighborhood's character. ADUs can also offer extra space for extended families.* *Transit-Oriented Development advocates for adding housing near public transit to enhance convenience, reduce car dependence, lower traffic congestion, and support environmental goals. It aims to legalize modest 3-5 story apartment buildings, particularly in areas well-served by public transit, such as on larger lots, wide streets, or corner locations. This approach addresses the current prohibitive regulations and aims to shorten commutes, thereby alleviating traffic and environmental issues.* *The City of Yes initiative proposes to streamline regulations, making it easier for campuses with unused space to construct new buildings. This development would not only provide housing solutions but also generate funds for campus repairs and new facilities, revitalizing community institutions and contributing to addressing the housing crisis.*
