City officials plan to build 1,100 homes in Coney Island, including over 720 affordable units for vulnerable populations. Mayor Eric Adams highlighted that this initiative aligns with the administration's efforts to maintain affordability in housing. However, local residents raised concerns about the impact of development on traffic and flooding, emphasizing that the area's narrow roadways may face congestion. Additionally, the administration's 'City of Yes' land-use reforms are expected to facilitate further housing construction near public transit in the coming decade.
The developments will ultimately comprise 1,100 homes, including more than 720 affordable and supportive units, designed for homeless New Yorkers and other vulnerable populations.
Kouichi Shirayanagi, one of those residents, expressed concern, stating, 'If you bring too much development to the area, you could disrupt traffic.'
