One of the key (and underreported) reasons for the lack of housing inventory in the Twin Cities: private equity firms buying thousands of single family houses and converting them into unaffordable rentals. https://t.co/4aTY8MBggk

Personally in my own life when a conflict is "actually very, very complicated" I just pick one side and give them four billion dollars a year in death machines

@evanrobertsnz @ajm6792 If I had to guess, I'd say 10-25% had covenants. Important to remember that covs combined with real estate steering, discriminatory lending and white violence. Every individual home didn't "need" a covenant to produce a segregated city.

[Kevin Ehrman-Solberg @kevin_ehrman]

@evanrobertsnz @ajm6792 It's less than half. Exact numbers are hard as there is no existing spatial database of historical residential construction at the county level. We are working on a sampling strategy right now that will give us a better estimate of coverage rates.

Let’s get this straight:

There’s been a whole K-Mart in the middle of Nicollet since 1976 but, somehow we’re a problem?

Our community is once again being threatened with an eviction. Please support us and prevent our community from being displaced or have belongings destroyed!

[Twin Cities Encampment Responders @TCparkresponder]

Today the city continues their history of violence against unhoused people.

As moats of barbed wire pop up in downtown and Nat’l Guard invade our neighborhoods, with no notice or justification, Near North was served an eviction notice.

NYT article or excerpt from a Tom Clancy novel? Legitimately hard to tell the difference.

It’s official! I am running for Congress. I am asking you to join me today as part of a historic grassroots campaign--one that centers the voices of everyday working Ohioans. We have so much to do and I hope we can do it together!

If Hennepin County can come up with 88 million to build $1,200 a month apartments at Fort Snelling, they can come up with the resources to house these people. This isn't that hard.

If you are appalled by this decision, sign this letter from the unhoused residents of the extended stay in Bloomington who are about to be put back out on the street. https://t.co/AGOwS1BTSE

[Kevin Ehrman-Solberg @kevin_ehrman]

Buying this hotel was Hennepin County's "solution" to record levels of homelessness. They just backed out. This means hundreds of people will continue to live outside, enduring freezing temperatures and continual police harassment.

This is unacceptable.

[Kevin Ehrman-Solberg @kevin_ehrman]

@ogpornomags Claiming "funding issues" is especially rich considering the same county just passed an 80+ million bonding bill to subsidize private redevelopment the Fort Snelling Upper Post...
