The Editor-in-chief of City Limits, Jarrett Murphy joins host Rafael Pi Roman for analysis as part of the Five Borough Ballot reporting project. Wonder how homes are being raised above flood levels after Sandy and why some homeowners don't want to spend the money? Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism student Clodagh McGowan shows us how it's done and why it's not the answer for everyone. Experts from across the region talk about what's next as hurricane season approaches in an excerpt from Superstorm Sandy: A Live Town Hall, broadcast May 16th on Thirteen, WLIW, NJTV,and WHYY-Philadelphia. Pi Roman talks to MacArthur Foundation genius grant winner Rosanne Haggerty about homelessness and her latest work in the Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn. And NJ Today Correspondent Lauren Wanko takes us down the shore to see art emerge from among the ruins of shattered boardwalks and homes.
