City Views

Opinions on Policy and Politics
 
Opinion: Any Plan to Convert Empty Offices to Housing Must Center Inclusivity, Affordability
‘It’s clear that New York City is going to face changes in how—and where—people live and work. However, any program to convert empty office spaces and hotels to housing must be considered from both sides.’

Opinion: NYC Must Consider the Racial Impacts of its Land Use Decisions
‘Many communities throughout New York City have seen major land use actions that have exacerbated rather than worked to alleviate displacement pressures, oftentimes in low-income communities of color.‘

Opinion: As NYCHA Rolls Out PACT Plan to Fund Repairs, Resident Engagement is Key
‘Engagement is the foundation for reversing a historical backlog of distrust that is stalling the agency’s current efforts not only to restore its portfolio to a state of good repair but reinvent itself in a way that better serves tenants in the future.‘

Opinion: Top-Down Comprehensive Planning Will Further Empower Those on Top
‘Upon close examination, the speaker’s proposal falls short and leaves the door wide open for the continuation of City Planning’s top-down, developer-driven rezonings by offering them a new shroud of legitimacy: a comprehensive plan engineered by city officials that fast-tracks rezonings.’
