Housing fast-track shifts political pressure to City Planning
Original: ‘A different ballgame’: Housing fast-track shifts political pressure to City Planning
New York's housing fast-track process is moving new development decisions into the hands of the City Planning Commission, a shift that changes where political pressure lands in the city's land-use battles. Officials and housing advocates describe the new process as 'a different ballgame,' with developers and neighborhood groups now directing their lobbying toward the planning body rather than the City Council.
Why now: New housing approval rules are redistributing political influence over development decisions in New York.
