Brian Laird on WNYC at a quarter to 12, quick mention of what's coming up in 15 minutes, which is all of it with Allison Stewart.

Allison will have Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist Lindsay Adario,

who has covered every major conflict of her generation. Now a new documentary follows her as she

tries to find a balance between her dangerous work life and her family, that and more coming up at noon

on all of it here on WNYC.

Now, New York City voters have spoken and they said, yes, all three of the housing-related

ballot questions, propositions two, three, and four were approved on Election Day.

Together, they will change parts of the city's land use process in ways

supporters say will make it easier to build affordable housing, and critics said could leave

local communities with less of a voice. The measures will speed up approvals for certain

affordable and mixed income projects, especially in neighborhoods that have added the least

housing in recent years.

They'll also create a new appeals board that can overturn city council land use decisions,

one of the most debated changes on the ballot, moving power away from city council on this.

So New York is officially a city of yes, yes, on all three of those proposals to change the city charter.

But what actually happens now with these faster track development rules and for the new mayor,

who will have the opportunity and the responsibility to carry them out well?

Joining us is Amit Singh Baga, who is a key supporter of these proposals as campaign director for the Yes on Affordable Housing Pack.

He is also a Democratic Party strategist.

Amit, hi, welcome back to WNYC.

Thank you so much, Brian.

Just a quick point.
