Philadelphia is currently "revitalizing" acrea and acres of rundown neighborhoods, mainly in the North and West sections of the city. The project is demolishing whole neighborhoods with the intent of building "affordable" housing.
Philly is a union town, and all new construction must be done at union rates, therefore, new houseing costs are going to be $150K+
Does anyone have or have you ever heard of programs which offset the higher price of union labor, so the houses may be more affordable?
I'm thinking of something which would be less than govt-subsidized housing.
DEFINITION = $150K Housing costs is a likely construction cost for a twin (ballpark figure)
