Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Condos in Old Town, Alexandria.
The city of Alexandria has 16,000 fewer market-rate affordable houses available than it did in 2000. While activists and city officials wrestle with how to preserve and increase Alexandria’s affordable housing stock, low-income residents say they’re being squeezed out. Our guests look at new proposals, including building housing on land owned by Metro, and discuss the future of 38-year old legislation that preserves public housing in the area.
Guests
- John Chapman Councilmember, Alexandria City Council
- Sasha-Ann Simons Housing & Urban Development Reporter, WAMU 88.5
