Save Our Suburbs -- STOP Albany's Urbanization Plan for Long Island


Save Our Suburbs -- STOP Albany's Urbanization Plan for Long Island
The Issue
Albany lawmakers are at it again! For a third straight year, Albany lawmakers are pushing plans that would override local zoning laws put into place decades ago to protect the health, safety and character of our local communities. Under this proposal, dubbed the "Faith-based Affordable Housing Act," Albany legislators would immediately grant over 1,100 properties the ability to develop high-density housing apartment buildings. As part of this plan, developers will be able to build up to 52 units per acre on these properties, many of which are located in residential neighborhoods next to, or across from, single-family homes!
We need your help to stop Albany's latest ill-conceived urbanization plan for Long Island. This push to urbanize our suburbs would not only threaten the existing character of our communities, but it would also negatively impact our suburban quality-of-life and immediately overburden our schools, infrastructure, emergency services, and more due to this massive population increase.
Tell Albany legislators that you are opposed to this plan to override local zoning and stand with us as we make our voices heard!
