Vox? That's Latin for "voice."

We are a coalition of voices advocating for the future of Minneapolis.

@cmplsres @VoxMinn @lisabendermpls @worthington6121 Not duped, exposed. Using a affordable housing pro environment message is a lot easier to sell than “we need to hook up those who elected us and increase the tax base”

[Jared Goyette @JaredGoyette]

As the discussion around the fatal high rise five in Cedar Riverside turns toward fire prevention and questions about the lack of sprinklers, @DefendGlendale has connected the tragedy to what founder Ladan Yusuf sees as negligence by @MPLSPubHousing and @CityMinneapolis.

“Our housing market is in desperate need of new single-family inventory,” said John Rask, president of Housing First Minnesota. “This end-of-the-year surge is much needed and is a great step in the right direction to balancing out our housing market.”

The fact that Minneapolis city leaders did the exact opposite (and are running all over the country praising themselves for it) proves that equity is the last thing they care about.

In hot urban markets, a key to curbing real estate speculation, discouraging market-rate development & encouraging affordable housing development is downzoning.

@MarionGreene Not hard to guess what @lisabendermpls will find at a learning session. Her talking, her talking even more, condescension & the need for more bike lanes. I have proposed IEDs littering Lyndale that will rid us of these obsolete “machines”. @VoxMinn 🖕🏻🚘https://t.co/I7fDEWs2vu

I believe the housing crisis is manufactured —bolstered by yrs of highwy construction & road re-route. We've caught @worthington651 & @Growingmpls in 2 many lies around @Mpls2040 & contradictory actions in its propagation. 2 much shock too quickly pushed. A successful botch job.

[Damien Goodmon @damienISgoodmon]

Let’s break this argument down:

We have space for lots of new private development (hence the 1.3M units imposed by @GavinNewsom & @Scott_Wiener for SoCal), meanwhile:

We *DON’T* have the space for lots of social housing.

We demand MPHA leadership to resign & Mayor @Jacob_Frey @AbdiYWarsame to step down. As public servants, they are not safeguarding or protecting public housing residents.

[Teqen Sj. Zéa-Aida @TeqenMPLS]

Looks like while they've been running around working to privatize everything, MPHA forgot to install a sprinkler system in one of their buildings inhabited mostly by seniors. This will not go unpunished. & btw, @IlhanMN has said nothing. https://t.co/73Sq8sWMvZ

FUCK THIS, MPHA found $$ for cameras to surveil residents but none for sprinklers to keep them safe?? No one needed to die. This is an outrage.

[Twin Cities Musicians Against Gentrification @TwinCities_MAG]

Why is Angela Conley the only elected official (to our knowledge) demanding answers for how this was allowed to happen?

[Defend Glendale & Public Housing Coalition @DefendGlendale]

It was just discovered that the newly renovated fence that surrounds The Cedars didn't have a sprinkler system. MPHA spent over 800,000 dollars on this fence; which was promoted as a safety measure. @Jacob_Frey & @AbdiYWarsame who approved this funding must answer.

[Damien Goodmon @damienISgoodmon]

Folk used 2 rent out rooms n their homes. Then AirBnB came around leadn 2 mass evicting rent-controlled tenants

My point: 2days housing market is globalized/hyper-commodified. Even well-meaning folk havent adapted their thinking #ItsTheSpeculationStupid
