New York City Birthday Committee proposes a broad, new initiative by all New York citizens, who by working together, can find unity, hope and create opportunity in commonly supported and unique urban development programs over ten years to reshape New York for the next century.

We believe whether they can afford $24 or $2.6 million, every citizen can be an equal partner with every other in "buying back" the City once bought for a reputed $24. What government may see as an impossible, 8.5 million enterprising and ambitious citizens may see as sound investment.
