Do Minnesota voters support or oppose the following proposal: Make it easier to build smaller home types like duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and townhomes. The proposal would allow these smaller home types to be built on residential lots in exisiting ne.. neighborhoods. 68% support, 21% oppose and 10% are not sure.
Allowing small multi-family homes like triplexes and fourplexes as well as duplexes and townhomes in more places are strongly supported by Minnesotans and are proposed in the More Homes More Places bill (#HF2140 / #SF2231) #MNleg #YesToHomes
Do Minnesota voters support or oppose the following proposal: Allow homes to be built on smaller lots. This would allow single-family starter homes to be built on lots 1,400 square feet or larger in communities across Minnesota
When asked about allowing more starter homes on small lots, 1400 sq ft or larger, 74% of Minnesotans support #YesToHomes Minnesota Starter Home Act (#HF1987 / #SF2229) to allow townhouses and the lot size per home proposed in the More Homes More Places bill (#HF2140 / #SF2231) #MNleg
Rick Varco - SEIU - Supporting both #SF2231 and #SF1268 everyone has different preferences for parking "local communities should not impose the preferences of some on everyone else" "local governments force people to pay for parking they do not want"
Thomas Elness - AARP - love to see AARP putting their muscle behind our #YesToHomes Coaliton. "Allow people to choose how they live as they age. That includes where they live." #SF2231 a member said "We live in a 5 bedroom home, but we can't find a home to downsize into in our community."
Sen. Boldon ( @lizboldonmn.bsky.social ) now introducing #SF2231 as amended in conversation with the City of Rochester. (Allowing for site plans for 3-4 homes to accommodate utility hookups complexity, 1-2 homes are not required to do site plans)
Meeting has started! Over 40 people have signed up to testify! There are time constraints and some folks were asked to submit written testimony instead. #SF2231 and #SF1268 will be stopping at State and Local Goverment committee in the Senate next.
