Council votes to consider housing state of emergency, rent control

Continued pressure on local officials to further address the affordable housing crisis resulted in the St. Petersburg City Council voting 6-1 to explore the legality of declaring a housing state of emergency that could halt rent increases for a year.

Led by the People's Council of St. Petersburg, droves of residents filled City Hall Thursday night to share how a lack of affordable housing in the city has affected their lives. The People's Council encouraged their followers to make their voices heard at the public hearing scheduled for 5 p.m., although city council did not hear the matter until much later.

It’s almost that time of year when we’ll be inundated with commercials urging us to sign up for diet programs and gym memberships - or better yet, invest in an expensive exercise machine that likely will become a clothes horse in months to come.

It’s all about tapping into our yearning for new beginnings.
