Source: enr.boenyc.gov
What does this measure do?
Cuts review steps for street projects, deals for small city lots and rights to build above city-owned landmarks, and city office purchases or leases. Taxpayers still fund city offices; some hearings and Council reviews end, with no new tax or fee.

A YES vote means
Street projects get fewer review steps; eligible city land deals lose final Council review. City office deals lose Council and Planning Commission approval, and no-auction sales of undevelopable lots to neighbors become permanent.
A NO vote means
Current street consultation and city-property reviews stay, including Council review of office deals. Today's temporary no-auction rule for undevelopable lots still expires in 2030.
