Save the Suburbs

Fighting Against the Elimination of Single Family Homes in Nassau County

Over 50 elected officials gathered to rally and urge Governor Hochul to reverse her position and pull back legislation in her 2022 budget that effectively eliminates single family home zoning across New York State. The budget proposal mandates that localities permit Accessory Dwelling Units, also known as apartments, on the property of homes that are currently zoned for single family use.

This could have a profound impact on our suburbs by overcowding classrooms and putting a strain on our emergency services, police protection, gas and electric supply, traffic, parking. Elected officials are urging constituents to contact Senator Brooks and the Govenor Hochul’s office to demand the elimination of this legislation.

Legislator Steve Rhoads joins local elected officials in demanding action. He is asking residents to have their voice heard by signing a petition requesting Governor Kathy Hochul and Senator John Brooks remove this provision from the state Budget.
