-- Republican Long Island leaders are blasting the housing plan unveiled in Gov. Kathy Hochul's State of the State.The governor, meanwhile, has called her Housing Compact a critically needed plan to address the housing crisis.
Long Island Republicans say there's too little vacant land and not enough money in the plan to support such quick suburban growth. "We are not hearing any solutions. We only hear, 'No, no, no.' If we, in fact, want to keep local zoning rules, we want to keep home rules, give us a solution to the major housing crisis," said Pilar Moya-Mancera, executive director of Housing Help.
"In terms of development, Brooklyn has sewers, Brooklyn has reservoir water supply, Brooklyn has mass transit crisscrossing the entire borough. Huntington has none of those things," Town of Huntington Supervisor Ed Smyth said.
