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.
