Minneapolis Aims To Fix Its Housing Shortage Through Zoning
Newsy
Minneapolis eliminated single-family zoning in 2018 — a classification long associated with segregation.
A brand new duplex represents everything Janne Flisrand has been fighting for: a multi-unit building in a part of town that for years only allowed single-family homes.
"I'm extraordinarily and kind-of irrationally passionate about building more homes in Minneapolis," Flisrand said. “If we don't build enough homes for everyone, we know who's going to be pushed out. It's going to be the folks who have the least resources, who have the least power."
As the co-founder of "Neighbors for More Neighbors," Flisrand played a major role when her city eliminated single-family zoning in 2018 — a classification that has long been associated with segregation.
