Governor Kathy Clown plays herself, abandons ADU plan

  10 Facts About '3rd Rock From The Sun' Direct From The Big ...

Newsday

  Gov. Kathy Hochul has pulled her budget proposal to require local governments to accept an expansion of apartments and backyard cottages in single-family neighborhoods as a way to combat a statewide crisis in affordable housing, Newsday has learned.

Hochul had proposed the expansion of "accessory dwelling units" in her January budget proposal to the legislature. Since then, however, there has been strong opposition by mostly Republican officials from local governments on Long Island and by some Democrats, including Rep. Tom Suozzi and Long Island state senators. Suozzi (D-Glen Cove) is challenging Hochul for the Democratic nomination for governor.

Opponents argued that Hochul’s proposal would harm suburban neighborhoods by worsening parking problems and straining local services, including sewer and water facilities, while eliminating local control of zoning.

"Since my days in local government, I have believed strongly in the importance of consensus-building and listening to communities and my fellow policymakers," said Hochul, a former Erie County clerk and a suburban councilwoman, in a statement.

 I have heard real concerns about the proposed approach on accessory dwelling units," she said. "I understand that my colleagues in the State Senate believe a different set of tools is needed, even if they agree with the goal of supporting the growth of this kind of housing. So I am submitting a 30-day amendment to my budget legislation that removes requirements on localities in order to facilitate a conversation about how we build consensus around solutions."

"I am glad she removed this radical policy from the budget, but she should have never added it in the first place, " Suozzi said.

Well governor Mrs Ed backed off ONE radical policy... But she's still pandering to the six zip codes in three boroughs crowd. Wake up, people.

The ADU plan may have been removed from the budget but there is still legislation (S8006/A9006 and bills S4547/A4854) that call for ADUs. See the blog at Save1FamilyNY.org

Transit Oriented Districts are still in the budget.

What a crock of shit!
All she cared about was preventing the shit from moving up-state.
Cathy Clown figured passing gunpoint legislation on NIMBYS to hand the investors, builders and speculators carte blanch to build would create local housing for all the city's garbage.
In the end she was likely afraid of being wacked.

NYC has become one big destination landing strip for the both the country and whole words problem people. Too many of them here for the protection and free stuff.
What this governor needs to do is choke NYC funding until sanctuary city bullshit ends, also end this Citi-suicide called bail reform.
We can only then be effective at taking take of our own people.
This "Planet of The Apes" shit and retard ghetto trash black mayor brought by the democrats is the worst thing to happen in NYCs history

Bastard are planning something even more communist.
Read her quote carefully
"colleagues in the State Senate believe a different set of tools is needed"

Uh-oh, that's going to be no doubt something even worse like Suozzi has done in the past.
Don't be fooled by Suozzi, that bastard will say anything to win an election.
Then FLIP like he did wile supervisor of Oyster Bay Town. Did away with zoning, builders and foreign cash swarmed in like hornets. Fucca-Cacas, towers and welfare barracks everyplace, over 1000 nice old Norman Rockwell style 1 family homes sold and bulldozed to make "Flushing East"
Sea Cliff turned into a toilet, you drive 1PM the afternoon and near every business, boarded up, closed or permanently driven out by $50k-$100K commercial real estate taxes. "Downtown Ghost Town" A post office and one run down bar.
Pizza Hut, KIMCO strip & 7-11 coming soon.

FU both Tom Suozzi and Miss Cathy !!

@ anonymous above -
If nothing that I write makes sense, you are free to ignore me. I am far far from a supporter of trump. The governor of NYS is horse-faced hence my allusion to your old television show "Mr. Ed". She is more importantly a radical beholden the the worst elements of NYS - real estate oligarchs and the welfare lobby. As people like to say here "prove me wrong!"

When and if New York can return to it's Glory Days ?

Suozzi was never supervisor of the Town of Oyster Bay. Sea Cliff is its own village and does its own zoning. Take a civics lesson, anon!

I left NYC; moved to a lovely Red State where the Bums are few - but those that are left we are hopefully convincing to move to NYC where you rich folks will provide them with free housing. We won't!

Excuse me, four terms as mayor of Glen Cove (same shit)
His father Judge Old Joe had big influence in Town of Oyster Bay.
Same shit, the fallout destroyed everything in a 6 mile radius and that includes Sea Cliff and Glenwood Landing.
The dirty underhanded crap legacy is just like the Crowley's, the Italian version. Lots of stucco, cement & brick.
All the plumbing, carting and concrete contractors adore Suozzi.

The only one you are fooling is yourself. You are a lifelong right-wing nut, just like most of the Karen's who post here.

Well, the "Bum" count increased by one once you moved there. And you are still bored shitless every day, and posting endless reams of nonsense.

Ok, thanks for clarifying on Suozi, your good points are made better when all facts are there.
