Your tax dollars are building up the city, or nah?

Listen, y'all wanna know what's going on with your wooder bill money and all that jawn? We're diving into City Hall's latest moves on the development front. Word on the street, according to the city's official data, is that there's a lot of "N/A" going around for Zoning Use Permits and Plumbing permits. Like, a lot. I'm not even gonna hold you, it's a little wild to see so many projects listed without specific details. What are they building, exactly, if nothin's being zoned or plumbed? That's the question, right?

### What's Up With All the N/A?

Okay, so when you see "N/A" for Plumbing and ZP_ZON/USE, it means those specific details weren't available in the data I got. But it still matters. Usually, these permits tell us what kind of development is happening where, like if it's a new high-rise going up in Fishtown or just some folks finally fixing their pipes in West Philly. When those categories are blank, it makes you wonder what's really happening behind the scenes, or what kind of construction is moving forward without that specific info being logged.

This lack of specific data on the development end is a jawn to keep your eye on. We need to know where our city is growing, or if it's just stuck in neutral. We’re gonna keep pushing for more transparency from City Hall on these development projects, because that's the jawn, Philly — we don't do fake out here.
