in Bay RidgeI would venture to say that most people in NY support new housing. What people do not support is the construction of skyscrapers and high-rise apartment buildings that are totally incongruent with their surroundings. Particularly if perfectly fine existing housing stock has to be demolished to do so (the greenest housing is adaptive reuse of existing structures). Not all of NYC is Midtown Manhattan, so building height matters. A city's physical form matters! That said, I am all for filling in empty lots with new housing at human scale. Rezoning and up-zoning should be focused on formerly industrial neighborhoods that are no longer functioning as centers of industry or neighborhoods where high-rises already exist.
in Bay RidgeWhy was the city restricting the housing supply in the first place? Restricting building heights, in New York City, really? Who thought this was a good idea? Building more housing is a good thing and should be applauded, not hindered.
