Philadelphia tenant unions take on junk fees, broken elevators and AI property management

When tenants at King’s Ferry Square Apartments in South Philadelphia call their property manager, Camden answers the phone. “Hi there!” she says, unfailingly chipper. Camden, however, is not a property manager, nor is she an employee of The Michaels Organization, which owns the building. In fact, Camden is not a human.

Academy museum’s real deficit

When Philadelphia officials argue about what a museum costs the public, a single number can travel farther than the paperwork behind it. At a City Council hearing, speakers cited a $4.4 million shortfall for the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University. Documents later placed the 2025 gap at $960,000.

Comcast is laying off more than 600 Philly employees amid big cost-cutting transformation

On a gray morning in Center City, the elevators at the Comcast towers still moved with their usual hush, but the talk on the sidewalks had shifted. People who once compared notes on streaming launches and broadband upgrades were asking who might still have a desk when the quarter ended. The phrase Comcast Philly layoffs moved from private worry into public record after a state filing described more than 600 job cuts at the company headquarters. For a city that has treated the cable and broadband giant as both employer and civic symbol, the notice carried a weight that went beyond a single human resources memo.
