READ FULL STATEMENT BELOW:
Save our Suburbs! Thousands of apartments will be flooding your neighborhood (and dozens on your street) if Gov. Hochul has her way. Her proposed Budget would eliminate single-family home zoning across NYS by requiring that towns, villages and cities allow apartments to be constructed within any single family house – and even a new free-standing apartment on the property – for anyone that wants one.
We can’t let that happen to our suburbs! From overcrowding classrooms, endangering the safety of communities, straining public safety, sanitation, traffic, and utility resources to destroying the environment and increasing the carbon footprint, Gov. Hochul’s policy directly threatens LI’s quality of life and will turn our neighborhoods into the overcrowded urban centers that most residents fled from in order to live here.
Furthermore, Long Island’s middle class families and seniors will bear the burden of this proposal and be forced to pay even higher taxes as a result.
