There’s no question about it, Madison is in a housing crisis. But how did we get here and what do we do about it? The city has a plan, and it’s an ambitious and contentious one at that. To get insight on the plan and how we can expect Madison’s neighborhoods to change as our city grows, host Bianca Martin spoke with none other than the mayor herself, Satya Rhodes-Conway.
