On his way out the door, Mayor Adams is intent on delivering yet again for the developers who funded this rise.
These ballot measures propose changes to the NYC charter that will further eliminate public review of NYC development schemes. Following up on his “City of Yes”” scam, Adams’ proposals bulldoze size and height restrictions in neighborhood development: a strike across the bow of community preservation . Massive luxury over-development would be further supercharged.
Parallel to what we’re seeing in Washington, Adams proposes autocrat powers for the mayoralty: only the mayor gets to decide how future development proceeds.
Needless to say, real estate moguls are lavishly funding Adams’s initiatives.
