The city council recently approved a plan aimed at the rezoning of East New York, according to this article from DNAinfo. The plan, which passed near-unanimously, was lauded by many for its comprehensiveness and its focus on public infrastructure and housing, while others are critical, believing that the plan does not do nearly enough to reign in gentrification in East NYC.
Proponents and critics can agree, however, that the passing of the rezoning plan will certainly alter both the area itself and the value of its real estate. How much so remains to be seen.
