I have actually heard of this? I'm a cabinetmaker and have made stuff for huge homes, with $500k in cabinetry, like 7 bathrooms and an indoor pool, and keeping it all in order is basically a part time job. Rich people live a completely different life (and at the least hire cleaning staff)

They are talking like traffic engineers haven't been trying - and failing - to fix traffic congestion for the last 70+ years

It's the wrong question to ask

And a good part of the reason we're in the mess that we're in

do NOT call me a NIMBY. I FULLY support new housing if it is AFFORDABLE, passes my personal VIBE check, will not be lived in by people I consider UNCOOL and is constructed only when the MOON is waxing, upon the APPROPRIATE ley lines

Another example of conservatives being the real cause of bureaucratic red tape as a way to prevent access to the rights and privileges they hoard. To the detriment of all of us - immigrants are a straightforward good for America

Inclusionary zoning is bad. Instead of relying on kludgy market based mechanisms that don’t work, the government should directly subsidize housing for poor people.

Inclusionary zoning is bad policy and we should stop doing it.

This is a personal invitation to any elected official in the State of Minnesota to join us on an e-bike ride. We are more than happy to explain the legal definition, handling specifics, & policy best practices around these miraculous & overwhelmingly safe mobility devices.

This is a great example of leadership. Ramsey County is wrong about the benefits of the CP Ford Spur. Rebecca Noecker will fight to acquire this public space for people walking and biking in West 7th, and it'll pay off in spades.

When cars kill, it's just the cost of doing business. When e-bikes get popular, suddenly we need strict ordinances to stop "accidents".

‘Solving St. Paul’s Fiscal Challenges’ event to be held Thursday The presentation will cover how land use affects the city’s economy

St. Paul charges property owners quite a bit for buildings and not much at all for vacant land, a perverse disincentive, in the eyes of critics, to fill vacant lots. What if we flipped it? Could a "land value capture" tax be the panacea this city needs? www.twincities.com/2026/03/24/s...

Yet another reason for Land Value Tax! We ought to disincentivize good properties remaining fallow.

After a decade, it's clear MnDOT didn't 'rethink' Interstate 94 Almost every alternative would cost $2 billion just to rebuild Interstate 94 with little functional improvement after years of talk.

“MnDOT is putting forward an embarrassingly backward project. The options on the table would largely perpetuate the status quo…Almost every alternative would cost $2 billion just to rebuild an existing urban freeway with little functional improvement after years of talk and planning.”
