What's Missing From Madison's Housing Conversations?
from City Cast Madison · host City Cast
In many ways when it comes to housing, Madison is stuck between a rock and a hard place. While there’s been an influx of new residents, there’s limited space on the isthmus for housing growth and some communities are wary of new developments. Nonetheless, the city has made strides toward easing the pressures of our housing market, as it recently outlined in its 2025 Housing Snapshot Report. Today, host Bianca Martin speaks with executive director of Common Wealth Development, Justice Castañeda, about what’s going well and what isn’t when it comes to the state of housing in Madison.
