Reply to comment by DelcoWolv in Gov. Greg Abbott expands Texas’ migrant busing plan to Philadelphia by audiomuse1

I think that's a great idea.

But Republicans would oppose it because "we need to take care of our own first." But then would oppose doing it for people here they'd vote against it as socialism.

Sounds like the Harrisburg city planners. No affordable housing anywhere. Just retirement homes and Ryan homes that cost 300k+

Lancaster County has this issue. Very little affordable housing for those who grew up here - but a butt load of "luxury" bullshit and "55+".

Chester County is the same way, so we ran to Lancaster lol

Not much better out here, but the houses and taxes were astronomically less money than Chester

Some of the “affordable housing projects” the housing finance agency is granting money to is shockingly unaffordable. I guess anyone building $1200 1bdr apartments can get free money from programs meant to house the poor.

If the Republicans ever got back control of the state legislature they'd absolutely make legislation barring this
