Throughout the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, South Florida has emerged as ground zero of a problem that has gripped the entire nation: The rise of housing costs. WLRN's Daniel Rivero produced a body of reporting that draws from deep personal stories, holds government officials accountable and highlights solutions. Rivero's reporting also explores how the 2021 condo tower collapse in Surfside, which left 98 dead, has complicated the issue locally.This is a compilation of Rivero's work, prepared for a Murrow Awards entry.
