Fwiw, this case has led the leadership of the council to warn members that member deference isn’t inviolable and that they’ll consider asking the council to ignore local members if they’re being unreasonable. There are reasons that councilmember have found compromises on locally controversial projects in the Bronx and queens since this went down.

Pretty sure the council speaker has basically also sidelined any of KRJ’s legislative priorities.

Yeah, this whole sub thread is just bullshit. It’s not like the task force that wrote the plan is ignorant of the very obvious challenges.
