New York City Plans Major Zoning Changes To Allow More Housing In Midtown Manhattan
- Mayor Adams aims to rezone parts of Midtown to allow more housing, targeting south of Times Square.
- The plans would address NYC's housing crisis and help revitalize Midtown's struggling business district.
- Rezoning would enable housing development between 23rd-40th Streets from 5th to 8th Avenues.
- Separately, the city wants to convert vacant offices into 20,000 new homes across NYC.
- City Council must approve the plans, with votes expected next year.
