City Of Yes Report Series

In December 2025, New York City Mayor Eric Adams and the City Council approved the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity, a sweeping citywide rezoning initiative aimed at addressing the city’s deepening housing crisis. This ambitious plan is expected to enable the creation of more than 82,000 new apartments over the next 15 years and includes a $5 billion investment in critical infrastructure and housing development. By expanding where and how housing can be built, the initiative seeks to make it easier to add new homes across all five boroughs.

This research report series will examine the major components of the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity. While exact housing outcomes will vary, each report will explore where the proposed changes are likely to be most impactful. The series will provide a data-driven analysis of how each aspect of the plan could influence housing production, real estate development potential, and pricing across different neighborhoods.
