    12 years? This is just another sign of how crappy this city is. There are people who have dropped dead waiting on that list.

      From someone who lived in the projects as a child in north Philly, prob how full they are at the moment with a lot of people still living there until they move on which normally takes a decade or over that. We were there for 10 or a little less than until we moved out. They may have had to add updates after that for the new tenants which would've taken a little more time. Mind you some of these places probably need more than just updating which will take even longer. It sucks, but it's a realistic amount of time for most people who need pha as a stepping stone. 5 to 10 yrs is that stepping stone for most.

    Just over a year ago a tragic fire broke out in an apartment owned by PHA. If I remember correctly the reporter said "Two sisters in their 30s and six of their eight children perished in the fire. The smoke detectors either didn't work or were disabled." Hopefully PHA will ad inspectors to make sure the units are safe.

    No more Section 8 housing. It has ruined sections of the city especially Castor Gardens. People need to earn and save for a house the old fashioned way. They will appreciate it more and take better care of the properties. People living in these homes that they barely pay for don’t take care of the properties then real tax payers move out
