Dear Colleagues – Thanks to many individuals and groups and the oddity of timing, seven harmful housing bills are off the table. The Nix-the-Nine Campaign is down to Nix-the-Two! That’s why we revised the letter to the Governor to focus on what it takes to get better legislative policy in 2021.

Nix-the-Nine Campaign
Grassroots Actions 
1) This legislation is very complex and should not be fast-tracked.
2) Public outreach has been inadequate and more time is needed for review and comment.
3) The impact of this program on transit must be carefully considered, especially
increasing housing density before increasing transit capacity.
4) Protections must be strengthened to prevent demolition of existing mid-block
6-unit buildings and any RH1/RH2 lot merging with variances for the construction of new 6 to 8-story buildings on blocks with smaller 2 to 3-story homes.
