Housing experts say the problem extends beyond the borders of New York City. Long Island suburbs have developed homes at a lower rate than nearly any other metropolitan area in the country, according to Department of City Planning data.
Housing push praised, but methods criticized
“I share the same concerns that the governor has, but we are yards apart — miles apart — as it comes to process,” said Rockland County Executive Ed Day, a Republican. “What she's looking to do is well-intentioned, I'm sure. But it is absurd on its face.” Blakeman said he’s not yet ready to “pull the fire alarm” on Hochul’s proposal — at least not before he sees more details that are expected to come in her budget proposal due Feb. 1. He has expressed support for housing development near mass transit stations in the past, another centerpiece of Hochul’s plan., Blakeman made clear he would fight any effort to wrest zoning decisions from the hands of local officials.
Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Jennifer DeSena, another Republican, painted an even scarier picture for suburbanites, warning that the plan would “turn Nassau County into New York City and unilaterally flood our communities with thousands of apartments and high-density zoning.”
