New York Governor Wants To Eliminate All Zoning Laws
New York Governor Kathy Hochul plans to eliminate single family zoning in New York, taking control away from local residents.
That means your next-door neighbor can build a multi-family or apartment complex on a one-acre plot.
All local municipalities would be required to amend their current zoning laws.
Are investors (and/or homeowners) in favor of this?

This would be great. People are doing this already by creating apartments in basements or second floors of their SFH. I doubt we'd be able to create apartment complexes. Also this would be very helpful for newbies such as myself to secure a duplex to house hack in this very expensive market.
