A New York City official is reviving a plan to turn the green spaces on public housing complexes into homes. In her State of the City address on Wednesday, City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams proposed the construction of new apartment buildings on existing open spaces, known as “infill development,” within New York City Housing Authority properties. Adams said her proposal would help address the city’s housing crisis and provide current public housing tenants with an opportunity to relocate into upgraded, modern housing units.
