Do they think the reason for people leaving NY is just due to housing? Job opportunities, lower taxes, less onerous rules are the main reasons people are leaving the state.
So NY will force multifamily "affordable" housing which will basically become defacto housing projects.
I guess we can clear the hotels of the Venezuelan refugees then.
You do realize it is a massive difference between multifamily housing with some units set aside for affordable housing and housing projects correct?

People with money are leaving the state and being replaced by low income immigrants. These apartments will need to be filled by someone.
Upstate has hemorrhaged folks for a while. NYC has a history of relocating their poor folks to other areas.
NYC is loaded with refugees stuck.in hotels at a cost of 700 a night. It would be more cost effective to put them into these buildings making them defacto housing projects. You can bet on NYC making it happen.
Once a builder makes their money they dont care what lives in the building. Landlords will gladly take Section 8 or other govt financed program to get apartments filled no matter what.
It is the remaining folks in homes in the neighborhood who will have to deal with the consequences of the building in terms of increased school costs and decreased quality of life.
People live in suburbia or rural areas because that is the density they want. If they wanted high density, they would live in a city. It is wrong for the state to interfere with that and change the make up of towns.

Look at the high end apartments that have been added in the downtown areas like Farmingdale, Mineola, Rockville Centre, etc. They seem to be doing quite well at finding people to live in them, and people with $$ at that. The idea that building and allowing for more multi-family housing near train stations and setting aside a portion for affordable housing is going to turn the areas to housing projects simply isn't true. Having various housing options when land is scarce isn't a bad thing, every teardown doesn't need a McMansion in its place.

They were wanted by their communities so there is no.issue there. We are talking about the state getting involved in forcing communities to have to take these buildings. Big difference.

I do not trust NYS.
The historical pattern of housing developments in the NYC metro area, never respected an element known as the "tipping factor" - the point at which the number of low income residents overwhelm an area, and inflict crime on an area's residents, causing for the middle class residents to flee said area.
So many areas within the five boroughs were ruined, as a consequence of the above phenomenon.
The plan is a good way for the Governor to make some serious cash. Think.of the money passing hands to them from builders to get developments built by bypassing local control.
St Paul's site in Garden City immediately comes to mind.
