Straight Talk host Andri Hakes talks to Nancy Carpenter, a city resident and community advocate on poverty and homelessness issues about the controversial changes to City Council’s public comment procedures, which were implemented after the most recent local election. The new procedures are significantly more formal than those used in the past. Supporters feel that the new procedures are contributing to a more orderly and efficient meeting process, but some community members strongly oppose the new measures, saying they limit individual citizens’ access to local government, and the public’s right to know what is going on at the meetings.

Straight Talk host Andri Hakes talks to Joy Johnson and Matt Murphy about Crescent Halls, a 105 unit apartment building run by the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority (CRHA). Located at 500 South First Street, near the IX Art Park, the complex is home to a number of low income families, seniors and disabled persons.
Residents are complaining about conditions at the facility, including broken air conditioning, bed bugs, mold, and a variety of other issues, which they say have persisted over a long period of time, despite repeated requests for help.
The CRHA is located in City Hall. Does City Council have any authority over them? Or are they only responsible to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)? How bad is the problem, really, and what can be done?
