I am introducing a bill to halt evictions + provide housing assistance to the Minnesotans who will face housing instability as a result of #COVID19. It is vital we respond now so everyone can stay home & stay safe- this helps keep us all safe. We are in this together. #mnleg

In the coming days I'll be bringing fwd an ordinance addressing tenant protections in St. Paul in partnership w/community, my Council colleagues & office of @MayorCarter. Here's why it's time, & the long-running community advocacy that got us to this point https://t.co/djNXR8LMqh

Here is the research that proves that YIMBYs are right.

Also stop saying that the point of new housing is so it filters in 30 years.

The point of it is that it creates vacancies NOW in the existing buildings that people move Out of in order to move Into the new building.
