Housing

Philadelphia needs to be a town that is both affordable and well developed; everyone deserves to live in a neighborhood that meets their needs within their financial capacity.

I believe that a plurality of opinions and experiences makes the neighborhood strong. I don't have any interest in living on a block where every person is some version of me.
