181 East End Ave, New York, NY 10128
Mayor de Blasio has blatantly rejected a community-led rezoning plan seven years in the making. He has rejected similar efforts for an alternative plan in East New York, Brooklyn and is set to do the same for Jerome Avenue in South Bronx and Flushing, Queens. This past month, nearly 50 Community Boards rejected his mandatory citywide zoning, yet the Mayor responded by saying their opinions didn’t count. He has betrayed the trust of the people who voted for him, continuing Bloomberg’s legacy.
With the mayor’s rezoning plan, each neighborhood is being stripped of its own unique, distinct character to make way for ultra-luxury high rises. Unite with multi-ethnic coalition in fighting against the mayor’s rezoning plan and to instead adopt the community-led rezoning plan!
