Reporters Roundtable: Sullivan County Housing Pressures Take Center Stage

Radio Catskill’s Reporters Roundtable returns with a new edition featuring the reporting staff of the Sullivan County Democrat. In this episode, we’re joined by Sean Kuhn, Matthew Albeck, Vincent Kurzrock and Isabel Braverman.

In this segment, the conversation takes a closer look at what’s happening with housing in Sullivan County — from new development and the growth of short-term rentals to affordability concerns and the pressures facing local communities.

The reporters discuss how rising home prices, limited housing inventory and increased demand from outside buyers are reshaping the local housing market. They also explore how towns are responding to the changes, including debates over regulations, zoning and how to balance tourism with the needs of year-round residents.

It’s a candid look at the stories local reporters are covering and the questions communities across Sullivan County are grappling with.
