Somerville, MA, May 7, 2014 – To cap his series on affordable housing, Somerville Neighborhood News reporter Peter Balonon-Rosen, a senior at Tufts University, sat down with Professor Emeritus Reebee Garofalo.

Garofalo, who formerly taught at the University of Massachusetts-Boston and who lives near Union Square, discussed the increasing gap between the rich and the poor and about salaries, affordable housing initiatives, and other kinds of policy changes that might mitigate current trends.
