Republicans in New York are pushing back against a plan from Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul that would require towns to build more affordable housing over the next few years.
proposed affordable housing plan requiring municipalities to build more affordable housing would have a devastating impact on suburban communities throughout the Empire State, especially on Long Island, House Republicans told Fox News Digital.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul presents her executive state budget in the Red Room at the state Capitol in Albany on Wednesday. Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., speaks during a news conference on the FBI search of former President Donald Trump's home in Florida on Aug. 12, 2022. Proponents of the plan argue that it will address the housing crisis in the state that has contributed to a"To address the severe housing crisis plaguing New York State, Governor Hochul proposed a bold plan to create 800,000 new homes in the next decade by working collaboratively and flexibly with cities and towns that need more housing," Hochul’s Deputy Communications Director Justin Henry told Fox News Digital in a statement.
Other local leaders have suggested the GOP's opposition to the plan is racially motivated, including ERASE Racism President Laura Harding, Esq., who said the plan"provides for Long Islanders and our elected officials to collectively work on developing affordable housing options that will benefit ALL Long Islanders."
"Kathy Hochul is expanding her authoritarian power grab over our New York communities. She must end her dangerous proposal to take away local control over zoning and work with local municipalities instead of putting her wants over the needs of our communities,", who represents New York’s 21st Congressional District in the northern part of the state, told Fox News Digital.
