ECCA attended CB14’s Land Use and Economic Committee Meeting earlier this week to hear about the City of Yes Plan, which is catagorized in three sections: carbon neutrality, economic opportunity and housing opportunity. There were two spokespersons from the Dep’t of City Planning describing the housing opportunity portion and needless to say, many weren’t happy about it. On the other hand, the Dep’t of City Planning is looking for feedback from the community so they can ‘maybe’ make some changes to the plan that’ll fit the desires of most who reside here. Paul Graziano, consultant and a City Planner expert gave his take on the City of Yes Housing Opportunity, which led a lot to be desired. Mr. Graziano is making it known that this plan will destroy the current housing market in years to come. CB14 will hold it’s monthly meeting on Tuesday, December 12th at 7pm at Knights of Columbus (info below).
