Big moves for NYC! It's not just 1,200 new homes near jobs and transit, but also the first use of new high-density zoning districts outside of MN - just one of the new tools we're using to create more housing. Grateful to @CMCrystalHudson & @NYCCouncil for approving this project.

Big News: @nyccouncil today approved what will be one of the largest residential buildings in the nation. 395 Flatbush Ave Ext in Downtown Brooklyn will no long be an (ugly) low-rise. It will become a tower with 1,200 homes, 25% of which will be permanently affordable. Made possible by NYC's new high-density zoning rules. Start of a new era. We need much more of this.
