There's an alley that connects from 35th St down to the property. Not sure whether they would want all the residents to use that as the only access, though.

I'm curious if they plan to remove either of the curb cuts on the site.

Not to mention negative equity -- rolling the unpaid balance of a previous auto loan into the next one.

I felt so much dread when apps like Citizen were taking off. Can't think of anything worse than constantly being informed of everything bad that **might** be happening.

2025 Rental tiering dashboard You can view details about the 2025 rental properties in Minneapolis. This includes who manages the property, scores and conditions.

Yeah you would need the address on that one

This one has more data about license holders specifically

I saw her at a neighborhood meeting a few years ago where she was pressed on her vote regarding the Hiawatha Golf Course

I don't remember what she said exactly, but she was struggling to justify her vote and almost seemed to argue the other position.

Oregon’s Zoning Reforms Are Workingβ€”But They Need Some Upgrades | Sightline Institute Six years after a monumental rezone, Gov. Kotek's HB 2138 will fill the gaps to more fully legalize starter homes.

This morning, Oregon's HB 2138 moved through Ways & Means with bipartisan support, headed for the floor of both houses. It'd remove many remaining barriers to starter homes across the state.

I recently wrote with @jchristmpls.bsky.social about how Minneapolis had more households than ever before.

In a new blog post, I expand on this β€” showing that many cities reached peak households in 2020 despite experiencing past population decline.

Hello friends! I just want to take a moment to acknowledge that I have decided to run for Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board District 4 commissioner. Over the upcoming days, you’ll be seeing more from me about my goals and positions and where we as a community go from here!

It was disappointing the amount of time we had to spend arguing over whether we should have bathrooms at parks (in this case, around Cedar Lake)

I walked by Painter Park earlier today, and I thought about how well that Park seems to be as a gathering place.

I enjoy seeing people skateboarding there or just hanging out.

I believe all parks (especially regional) should have features needed to be comfortable and wanted there.

Having served on a Community Advisory Committee, I think a lot about how we need parks to be a third space for everyone in the community.

Too many want parks to be an extension or their backyard and not something for visitors outside the city or even the neighborhood to enjoy.

Yes, those are the newest maps.

The commissioners were elected in 2021 under the old maps. I think that's why those are on the website.

I wonder if they haven't updated them since the commissioners are still serving those boundaries?

I'd imagine someone would be a ways above $200k before this tax takes effect, especially if they have kids or contribute to a pre-tax retirement account.

It also happens where one government controls the arterial and doesn't want to install bike infra because a nearby street run by a different government has "adequate" infrastructure
