Chair Riley calls for partnership and details from administration
He says the administration cannot achieve the goals alone, the council is a partner, but details on how HPD and DCP will achieve numbers are absent.
The administration alone cannot achieve this rate of housing production.
And I want to remind you today, despite a narrative that too often pits the council against the administration, we are your partners and a group of elected officials who best know the communities we were elected to represent.
And we can effectively help you to achieve the goals laid out in this plan.
Details on how HPD and DCP intend to realistically achieve these numbers remain absent.
We're ready to roll up our sleeves, engage on specifics, and do what government does best, which is set the stage for sustainable community development that meets the larger needs of the city.
while remaining respectful and inclusive of everyone who calls New York City home.
