In this segment of Good News and Badnews, we discuss the challenges of gentrification in West and Southwest Philadelphia, where rising property taxes are making it harder for longtime residents to stay in their homes. As Mayor Cherelle Parker's recent tax reevaluations put additional pressure on marginalized communities, the conversation delves into the broader implications for equity and survival in these historical Black and Brown neighborhoods. We also cover the heartbreaking case of a 60-year-old Florida woman convicted of manslaughter after a tragic confrontation, and the story of Glenn Simmons, who was exonerated after 50 years of wrongful incarceration.
