Kevin Ramakrishna's InBusiness Madison Article Highlights City’s Housing Crisis

In an op-ed published in InBusiness Madison, shareholder Kevin Ramakrishna delves into the complexities of Madison's housing challenges in an article titled "Levy Limits and Madison’s Housing Crisis." Ramakrishna emphasizes the impact of levy limits, rising development costs and TIF challenges on exacerbating the housing shortage in Madison through alternative means, such as sales tax. By providing municipalities with greater financial flexibility, these measures, he proposes, would effectively address the housing shortage and improve the quality of life for Madison residents.
