Grassroots nonprofit fighting for more homes for all New Yorkers
- These are the zoning changes that City of Yes opponents called an "extinction event"
SB-79 HAS PASSED THE SENATE AND IS ON ITS WAY TO THE GOVERNOR’S DESK- Imagine if the areas around train stations in New York’s suburbs—in Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester counties—looked like this instead of giant parking lotsAmerica invented the perfect suburb (Brooklyn Heights) and then never made another one
