Probably yes. But everyone is fine? and it's got queer romance? It's good. But also, yes.

As a fellow Ward 8 resident I was also very confused. I apparently need to read text as well as maps. Sounds like More Neighbors is working on a new graphic tho.

I honestly didn't notice the "aunt in kingfield" part bc my brain defaults to maps so dang much that I was just looking at which parts were what color. I'll go bug folks. Thanks for catching that!

I think you're maybe reading it wrong? It seems be be based on the current ward map, but since Ward 8 straddles 35W which is lightly marked on this map, it looks odd.

I want to thank everyone who came out to today’s hearing on Pause Evictions, Save Lives, an ordinance to temporarily extend the eviction notice period from 30 to 60 days in response to Operation Metro Surge.

Minneapolis Braces for Rent Crisis As ICE Surge Winds Down With warnings that an eviction spike is looming, city and state leaders are seeking aid for renters who lost wages over the last few months.

Tomorrow City Council will be taking up β€œPause Evictions, Save Lives” to temporarily increase the notice for eviction to 60 days to give families an extra month to make rent.

This buys us time for rent assistance to be distributed and to continue to pressure Gov Walz for an eviction moratorium.

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

There’s an increase of activity at the Whipple building today. 50-60+ vehicles have been reported to exist the Whipple building. We need community to be on alert and for neighbors to observe and patrol. Thank you for everyone that continues to support our immigrant neighbors.

🚨 Action Alert 🚨 We need you to tell the MN House to say β€œYes to Homes!” πŸ”— Contact the committee: actionnetwork.org/letters/hous...

Let legislators know that you support the Starter Home Act, which allows more homes in a range of types and sizes to be built across MN.

Just got a message from South High saying β€œWe currently have requests totaling $33,965 for rent and we have $7500 available tomorrow. Please try to share the gofundme widely! Thanks”

Well, that simply will not do. I'll match the first $900. Please help my fellow South High families if you can! πŸ–€πŸ§‘πŸ–€

City of Minneapolis is considering two proposals for redeveloping the SE corner of the Nicollet Kmart site. In coming weeks city staff will recommend one option to the City Council for approval. View the proposals and take the survey by March 5:

Housing Supply and Demand β€” Neighbors For More Neighbors Over the past decade, the number of households in Minnesota has grown faster than the number of homes built to accommodate them. That imbalance has consequences. When more people are searching for a…

Our latest blog post is taking us back to Econ 101. Read about how supply and demand are keeping housing prices high, and how legalizing more homes can make homes more affordable for everyone.

Eight years ago I made a lamp post cozy and dedicated it to winter cyclists. A lot has changed since then but I still think y'all are awesome.

Trademark Status & Document Retrieval

Love to Our Streets, but they do not have a defensible trademark. Their application was abandoned after appeal.

This legislation in IL moves the needle significantly towards walkable complete neighborhoods where you can go to a corner store and the store can thrive.
We generally need about 20 homes/acre for walkable neighborhoods that can support a local bus. This bill allows about 17->69 (nice) homes/acre.

So, basically 75%, and more, of most cities in the US do not allow more than one home per lot. Many require 1-2 football fields/home (40-80k sq ft). On sewer, often 10K+ sq ft/home
