Annemarie Gray discusses recently getting the "City of Yes" initiative across the finish line in New York City — the city's first major reform on housing in recent history. Gray, who has a background in architecture and planning policy, highlights the importance of zoning reform as part of a broad package that must include other measures to build abundant, affordable homes. City of Yes, which passed with a 31-20 vote, includes measures like universal affordability preferences, residential conversions, and accessory dwelling units. Despite cuts, it still aims to add 80,000 homes over 15 years. Gray emphasizes the role of grassroots organizing and the need for continued advocacy at both city and state levels.
