Chair Riley asks about activating more waterfronts for housing
He asks if DCP and HPD are looking at activating more waterfronts; Garodnick says there is tension with industrial uses, but they evaluate proposals, ensure public access, and recently surveyed New Yorkers on waterfront activation.
And within the Fair Housing Growth Strategy Plan, I know we talked about homeownership and other kinds of housing.
Activating waterfronts.
Is DCP, HPD looking at possibly activating more waterfronts?
I only ask this because I know I get a ton of requests from people who are coming into my office who don't want to go to New Jersey because New Jersey.
has put a lot of development on waterfront, and typically a lot more people would like those amenities to live by a waterfront and have that open space.
So is there any mindset on creating more residential areas around waterfront?
I know the majority of WIP is focused on North Shore, but is there any other plans to activate any waterfronts?
Yeah, I mean, I think there's some level of tension, right?
