Minneapolis can and should help those who face barriers to housing without putting other renters at risk.

“Being able to limit price gouging and large, abrupt rent increases is a big missing piece of our city’s housing policy,” Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender said. https://t.co/CLojcJRLmp by @maxnesterak
We hear your concerns about COVID-19, and we're receiving your feedback. We're continuing to meet to make decisions about how to move forward. We'll have additional information by the end of the day.
@byjlee Also important to realize that the council didn’t hold neighborhood meetings like they did for wages or safe and sick leave. - and it’s not just low income renters who can’t take off work to come@to a council meeting midday.
@1a@mslaurabliss @lisabendermpls You should have someone on who can talk about how @lisabendermpls policies are raising rents and discouraging affordable housing development and preservation.
@marissaaevans @motarola123 @StarTribune You forgot that @MPLSPubHousing is the most frequent evictor leading to many tenants that have evictions on their record not being able to find other housing. Meanwhile if the public agency can’t find them housing the private market is supposed to take the risk.
@erichauge You were calling all landlords that oppose you racist. Perhaps they oppose your ideas because they raise rents due to higher costs. Re-read your tweet. And stop using tax dollars for lobbying.
Why does @lisabendermpls trust @HOME_Line and fund them with city $$. when they divide the community? @erichauge - calls all landlords racist. That’s not the Minneapolis Civility we trust.
This year, we are also injecting another $31 million dollars of City money into our affordable housing #MplsBudget. And we are maintaining our commitment to capture and dedicate as many State and Federal resources for affordable housing as possible.
At @CityMinneapolis budget meeting - with date set by Charter - the City Council President @lisabendermpls is absent. #wheresBender? Do you have a tracker on her @WedgeLIVE ?
