View all City Cast Pittsburgh episodes

There’s a lot of debate about how to make Pittsburgh a livable city for everyone and ensure that longtime residents of a neighborhood aren’t pushed out by rising home prices. Host Megan Harris is with TribLive reporter Julia Burdelski to talk about the two bills in front of City Council that aim to create more affordable housing and how these very different visions could impact our city’s approach to future development.
