City Seeking To Lure Builders

"Mayor Street's plan to transform Philadelphia's blighted neighborhoods will be a colossal flop if no one wants to build new homes on the vacant lots his demolition crews leave behind.The reasons housing developers give for shunning the city include the lack of large sites suitable for residential construction, the city's time-consuming permit and zoning processes, an outdated building code and costly union work rules."
