That's all folks, all that supposedly-YIMBY Gov Shapiro is getting you in Harrisburg. No Mt Laurel, no zoning/building code preemption. Maybe we can work some amendments in the preapproved housing plans but not hopeful
Upcoming package of housing bills made the consponsorship memo page today
They'd create:
-A Residential Economic Development District (REDD) grant program to be paired with job creating projects
-System of preapproved designs
-Housing opportunity agency
-State housing ombudsman

www.inquirer.com/food/live/mi... bizarre outcome. Mawn, Royal Izakaya, Kayala, among many others given no stars. just a good food at good price award, same award like 40 cheese steak places did. One day we will be recognized as the best food city.
Three Philly restaurants earn prestigious Michelin stars; some notable snubs
Her Place Supper Club, Friday Saturday Sunday, and Provenance each earned a Michelin star Tuesday at the Kimmel Center.

McGovern: Buried in this bill is a corrupt kickback for eight Republican senators, a million dollar payday funded by taxpayers, taken from the treasury and deposited directly into their pockets. What the hell is wrong with this place?
