Meet the new plan; it's not like the old plan.
"Mayor Bill de Blasio's update to PlaNYC will be called OneNYC and incorporate a new metric to account for poverty and income inequality," reports David Giambusso and Sally Goldenberg. "De Blasio's plan will be divided into four categories: growth, equity, sustainability and resiliency."
The article describes the effort as a move by the De Blasio Administration to the left of the Bloomberg Administration's policies. Also noted is the trend toward the use of the word "one" by the current administration, as exemplified in several other policy initiatives around the city.
The Mayor's Office released the new plan on Wednesday—a few days after the news of the broke. An April 22, 2015 press release on the New York City's official website announced that the plan is designed to lift 800,000 people out of poverty by 2025. Other big ticket targets include zero waste to landfills by 2030 and avoiding long-term displacement of jobs and homes after "future shock events."
The plan's hashtag, #ONENYC, has already produced a lot of discussion over on Twitter.
