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.
