Philadelphia Mayor Takes on Sky-High Rents
Philadelphia’s new mayor, Cherelle Parker, knows the city needs more affordable housing and says fixing the problem is one of her top priorities. As part of her 100-day action plan announced Tuesday, the mayor pledged to enable more housing to get built and ordered a plan for “affordable luxury” for low- and middle-income families. The problem is a serious one for the city and Pennsylvania broadly. Experts argue that the state has a shortage of almost 100,000 housing units. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pennsylvania-in-focus/support
