Permit accessory dwelling units in single-family neighborhoods: Governor Hochul will propose legislation to require municipalities to allow a minimum of one ADU on owner-occupied residentially zoned lots. This legislation will allow for municipalities to set size requirements and safety standards for these dwellings. It will also require that an amnesty program be created in New York City to legalize existing ADUs, with the expectation they be brought into compliance with building code to ensure resident safety. The housing plan will also include capital funding for municipalities or nonprofits to assist in the legalization or creation of new ADUs. Kick-start transit-oriented development: Governor Hochul will propose legislation to foster multifamily construction in zones drawn by municipalities around rail transit stops within commuting distance to New York City. The State will provide assistance to municipalities for drafting the ordinance changes, easing the burden on smaller municipalities.

"Long Island home price cuts at 3-year high Ask has been reduced on more than one-third of listings"
at least prices are coming down,
From the article you shared:
Quote:
The price cuts are not the result of an increase in home listings; the inventory crunch is still pronounced. Many sellers are still entertaining multiple offers, often above the asking price.
Quote:
Even with some asking prices falling, buyers are still contending with high prices. Sales prices hit highs and bidding wars increased in both of Long Island’s counties last quarter, according to Jonathan Miller’s report for Douglas Elliman.
Quote:
The median price of one- to three-family homes and condos sold in the second quarter was $620,000, upfrom $605,000 the previous quarter and $585,000 a year earlier.The average price was $720,000, up from $703,000 and $693,000, respectively.

Horse face scrapped that idea cause of the backlash. She may revisit it and there may be arson committed all over the state if she tries it. Long Island townships get so little state aid even if she tried this and townships don’t comply worst she can do is strip the pennies we get.

She can talk all she wants. Local townships and village zoning will always supersede the state. When she attempts to override that it will be tied up in court for a decade. Try building a triplex in muttontown or 4 unit on a sfh street in riverhead.

Except that every single village and township already allows accessory apartment permits as either mother/daughter or senior citizen apartments. They can't claim the concept is unsafe when, in theory, every single home in the jurisdiction is already allowed to apply for that exact usage. They allow apartments, but only for people who will kiss the ring and pay the ridiculous zoning appeal fees.
The bill also never waived building code provisions or permit requirements, but cut out a zoning provision. On a related note, most local zoning is a farce- too complicated, nuanced, and vague (so as to be left to interpretation by town officials-- TOH considers any interior lock requiring a key a "separation of living space" and potential evidence of an apartment). Most of the items regulated are already barred by state building codes or should be more appropriately placed within town or village codes. The proposal didn't even mandate permission for basement sleeping quarters, which is legal on a state level, provided the space meets all habitation requirements, but is banned in many municipalities.
