Luigi Mangione's Pit Stop in Pittsburgh. Plus, Affordable Housing & US Steel
A suspect in the killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO was arrested this week…in an Altoona McDonald’s. Did Luigi Mangione also spend time in Pittsburgh before he was detained — and if so, where did he go? We’re talking about how our region and Gov. Josh Shapiro were thrust into the spotlight this week. Plus, what changes to inclusionary zoning could mean for affordable housing in Pittsburgh, why we’re one step closer to a city budget for 2025, and how you can help your neighbors (and birds!!) this holiday season.
