The Preservation Enhancement and Transformation of Rental Assistance Act of 2010 (PETRA), now known as the Rental Housing Revitalization Act of 2010 (or PETRA III), is the subject of a feature story in the Fall 2010 issue of Progressive Planning Magazine (P.P.M.), the key publication of the Planners Network.
Highly-respected U.S. planners and P.P.M. editors – Tom Angotti of Hunter College in New York City and Marie Kennedy of University of Massachusetts in Boston take a look at the on-going debate and strongly warn that this is a watershed moment in neoliberal politics that we should not and cannot take lightly.
