@sigma_47 The article makes a compelling case that Kubei is a fraudster:
1. He got rich being a Medicaid provider
2. Has a side hustle showing others how to get rich doing the same
3. Also admits to overbilling (while pretending it's nothing)
4. Admits to providing subpar care

Yesterday's NYT article is a masterclass in catastrophic framing 🧵

[anti-enjoyer @sigma_47]

Evictions are only up slightly and I'm of the mindset we should be relieved it wasn't as bad. But there is not insignificant portion of us who want things to be the worst so they have a sense of purpose and they should reassess that mindset

4/ The story says there's an increase in eviction filings but doesn't cite the magnitude (1.6%)

Curiously, there's room in the article to discuss a general need for rental assistance & speculate on the effect of future budget cuts but no room to discuss the data (beyond a link)

May update here. There are mistakes in their metro & non-metro YTD total calculations:

Homeline added May to their MN eviction filings data

YTD eviction filings still show a slight increase (⬆️2%) vs 2025.

Higher filings are concentrated in the metro (⬆️4%), especially Mpls (⬆️6%)

165 add'l filings statewide YTD,
290 add'l filings in the metro,
134 in Mpls

Homeline added April to their MN eviction filings data

YTD eviction filings show a slight increase (⬆️2%) vs 2025. Higher filings are concentrated in the metro (⬆️4%), especially Mpls (⬆️7%)

180 add'l filings statewide YTD,
285 add'l filings in the metro,
123 in Mpls

@Tonkacanucksfan @sigma_47 Got it, agreed!

[concuño @concunyo]

@Tonkacanucksfan @sigma_47 Not talking about SWLRT, I'm questioning the Blue Line Ext

How do we know it will spur development like SWLRT when the Green Line didn't spur much development?

If LRT ROI projections are exaggerated, is the train still worth it w/ ballooning costs & another option ready (BRT)?

[concuño @concunyo]

@Tonkacanucksfan @sigma_47 How can it be true that BRT does next to nothing for development but LRT will unleash an incredible boom?

My guess is that for different reasons this area just isn't that attractive for development. LRT would help some but nowhere near as much as boosters claim

[concuño @concunyo]

@Tonkacanucksfan @sigma_47 I just want a clear-eyed cost-benefit analysis. Assuming it was a good investment based on the initial analysis, I have doubts that it's still a good investment after ballooning costs & delays

@sigma_47 @MaplehoodUnited Seasonal ridership decline Sep-Jan =
MetroTransit ridership is CRASHING b/c of Operation MetroSurge

Seasonal ridership increase Jan-May =
MetroTransit ridership is SOARING b/c of high gas prices

[concuño @concunyo]

@sigma_47 More delays aren't great but hitting reset isn't worst outcome with Agape and Rise&Remember as the finalists

The scandal is that city mgmt of the area & activist antics made the area so toxic that no legit developer will touch it. But it's hard to see the situation improving

@unstadj Right. Union-backed board members want to push off school closure plans to 2027 & then indefinitely

They're running 3 Greta-Callahan-type candidates this year & could have a bloc of 4 aggressively union-oriented school board members w/ Callahan starting in 2027

[concuño @concunyo]

...Ideology: Opposing them is the union & its allies. They have a clear vision that's untethered to reality:

Higher salaries for teachers & no school closures; by magic funding & enrollment increases will follow to solve structural deficits; test scores will also go up by magic

[concuño @concunyo]

Mpls PS leadership right now is a battle btwn incompetence & ideology

Incompetence: the superintendent & her allies have overseen financial mismanagement & haven't released the school closure plan, now 2.5 yrs into the process...

[concuño @concunyo]

@unstadj MPS has been working on a school closure plan since Dec 2023 & plans to release a proposal in Sep 2026, nearly 3 years later

School closure opponents say there hasn't been enough time for community input (!) & want to delay the decision until 2027 w/ implementation in fall 2028
