This forum will be held at the University of Pittsburgh and is open to all members of the public interested in hearing from local candidates about housing issues ahead of the May 20th municipal primary.\n\nHousing is widely seen as a top issue in this year’s mayoral primary election, according to recent reporting from Axios Pittsburgh.\nPittsburgh has experienced some of the largest increases in housing costs nationally, according to a 2024 report from Redfin.\nHousing policy is determined at the city level of government, with individual members of City Council and local neighborhood groups often having the greatest influence over what development is allowed or forbidden in their district.",

Hearing from candidates for local office is vital to helping voters make the most informed decisions in the upcoming municipal primary, especially for voters historically underrepresented in local elections, such as students and renters,” said David Auth, president of Pitt Law Dems.\n\n“Housing is one of the top issues in Pittsburgh for so many students. I’ve had classmates at both Carnegie Mellon and Pitt choose to move far into the suburbs because of the city’s prohibitive housing costs. City leaders showing a commitment to retaining its young talent will help us continue to grow as a city,” added Auth.",
