URGENT CALL TO ACTION: UPDATE ON CITY OF YES LAWSUIT FILING

Lots more work – and fundraising – to do

By Paul Graziano

Exactly 2 months ago, Mayor Adams signed the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity (CoYHO) into law. You may remember that I sent out an email blast telling you that “We MUST file a lawsuit against this mess, and we have to do it quickly.”

Since then, our coalition has been working feverishly towards that goal.

Through consistent outreach and generous donations from civic/homeowner organizations and individuals, we have raised over $65,000 so far towards this effort, with all contributions going to the Queens Civic Congress, a registered 501c4 charity, who has agreed to be the fiscal conduit for this effort.

The April 4th meeting of the Queens Village Republican Club featured Land Use and Zoning Expert, Paul Graziano who presented a comprehensive analysis of the “City of Yes,” the citywide zoning proposal by Mayor Adams. This insidious proposal could subject our residential communities to massive overdevelopment and commercial expansion. The “City of Yes” threatens to destroy single-family and two-family zoning and transform our peaceful residential communities into busy commercial zones, escalating noise, traffic, crime, and congestion. This proposal is not about affordable housing. It will destroy residential communities and put an end to private property ownership. We must say NO to the City of Yes!
