Should New York be able to force suburbs to approve housing? Gov. Kathy Hochul’s plan to do so faces pushback
Some officials from suburban areas of New York City such as Long Island say the proposal would erode local control and upset the character of towns.HUNTINGTON, N.Y.—Backhoes are finally clearing the earth for the development of Matinecock Court, an affordable-housing complex in this Long Island suburb that was first proposed 45 years ago.
To housing advocates, a multifamily project first floated when Jimmy Carter was president is the ultimate example of unreasonably restrictive suburban zoning and the reason for a push by Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul to change the rules. To Long Island officials, who have long been concerned about traffic and school crowding, Matinecock Court was a challenge to the inviolate need for local control over land-use decisions.
