Zoning Board Rejects 420-Unit Lancaster Avenue Project, Developer Vows Fight

5100 Lancaster Ave. — Approximate Site of Proposed 45-Unit Building. A proposal to build 420 apartments across three Lancaster Avenue properties in West Philadelphia's Cathedral Park area has stalled at the Zoning Board of Adjustment, which ruled against the developer following a contentious hearing on Oct. 21. The plan from Haverford Square Properties called for 42 affordable units, but it also asked for a building six feet taller than current zoning allows, a sticking point that proved decisive before the board.

Philly DSA claims backlash to Jewish business boycott is ‘repression’

Philadelphia’s branch of the Democratic Socialists of America is claiming that the anti-Israel movement is being repressed because of the backlash against another group’s Sunday boycott of Jewish-owned businesses in the City of Brotherly Love. The DSA group doubled down on the poorly planned boycott , which was held on the eve of the Kristallnacht Nazi night of terror, claiming the outrage against Sunday’s effort was unwarranted and belittled the boycotters’ message. “From the Senator Fetterman and Congressman Boyle to Governor Shapiro, Mayor Parker, and Council President Johnson, politicians have joined a chorus of bad-faith and dangerous conflation of antisemitism with anti-Zionism and invoking comparisons of the Kristallnacht that trivialize trauma and suppress political speech,” the group said in a statement. Philadelphia’s branch of the Democratic Socialists of America condemned the backlash against its boycott of Jewish-owned businesses in the city. phillydsa.org Philly ‘Kristallnacht’ protests at Jewish-owned businesses drowned out, shouted down by huge crowds A protester on a bicycle rides past shops in Philly’s ritzy Rittenhouse Square.

Pennsylvania Just Triggered a 50-Year-Old Law to Keep Jefferson Health In-Network

The Jefferson Health insurance fight got a new development this week — and a new deadline that matters more than the one everyone is watching. Pennsylvania’s insurance department announced it will invoke Act 94, a 1975 consumer protection law, if Independence Blue Cross and Highmark don’t reach new contracts with Jefferson Health by December 31. The law gives the state power to freeze a termination for up to six months and force the parties into a formal process. It has only been used twice in its entire history. — Pennsylvania Insurance Department (Philadelphia Inquirer, November 6, 2026)

A building trades union is getting a $1-a-year land deal from the city of Philadelphia

On a gray morning in Southwest Philadelphia, a wide stretch of city owned ground sits quiet beside rail lines and warehouse roofs. Neighbors know the parcel as empty land the city has held for years. City Hall now knows it as the site of a proposed lease that would hand 21 acres to a building trades union for a dollar a year, so the union can raise an apprenticeship training yard. The Philly union land deal has already become a test of how this city treats public property when a powerful labor ally comes asking.
