Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 19th of May.
Good morning, Scottsdale.
🏛️ Government
A new law passed last week allows construction work to start at 5 a.m. on weekdays from May 1 to Oct.
15 so companies can pour concrete an hour earlier. The measure aims to protect workers and speed up building processes statewide—local governments still set Sunday schedules and Saturday starts remain at 7 a.m.
📰 Real Estate
A study by This Old House found single women and essential workers in metro Phoenix cities cannot afford a median-priced home, with Scottsdale forcing single women to pay 147% of their income — leaving few funds for other needs.
Rapid population growth has driven prices up and made owning a home a challenge for many local workers — prompting calls for change.
