The November housing ballot questions, explained

With a 1.4% vacancy rate, the city is in desperate need of housing, and fast.

A special panel known as the Charter Revision Commission, established by Mayor Eric Adams, believes they have some solutions to the problem.

“At the end of the day, New York City is in a dire housing crisis,” Richard Buery, chair of the commission, said. “We’re solving what I think we all agree is the existential challenge that we face in the city, which is that too many people can’t afford to live here.”

The five proposals will appear as questions two through five on the November ballot. Voters will see them when they flip over their ballots.
