Happy Father's Day to those who celebrate

Happy Pride!

It is the honor of my life to serve as Mayor of Pittsburgh. We built and preserved over 1,600 affordable housing units, increased public safety, reduced homicides, reduced gun violence, and achieved 19% job growth Vote Ed Gainey, and we will continue to grow. #WPXIDebate

No one should be able to cut corners in the building permitting process just because they have my phone number, and under the Gainey Administration, they aren't.

Pittsburgh is facing an acute housing affordability crisis, and city, regional, & state leadership and responsible affordable housing developers are stepping up to the challenge.

Great interview with Dave Breingan of Lawrenceville United on how Inclusionary Zoning is working in Lawrenceville and why we need to expand it citywide:

“In reality, it's a taxpayer funded rent subsidy for individuals making as much as $85,000 per year. It's a very poorly disguised Trojan horse that does nothing but enrich developers on the taxpayer's dime.” www.wesa.fm/politics-gov...

Great🧵dissecting a terrible bill - if passed, this would give corporate developers a blank check of Pittsburghers' tax dollars to build housing that most of those same Pittsburghers wouldn't be able to afford to rent.

Challenge... "More than half of renter households—over 22 million—are rent-burdened, meaning they pay over 30 percent of their income toward rent and utilities, and one in five report severe rent burden, paying over 50 percent."

Damn straight.

The transformation in our City-County response to homelessness in the past year has been enormous, Big thanks to the folks in Pittsburgh Public Safety & Allegheny County Human Services. "We don't need Code Blue this year because we believe we have enough spaces in the system to support everyone."
