It will cost less than $158,828. Unfortunately (for me professionally), Bill is referencing an erroneous figure calculated by my paper, the Southwest Journal. The figure was meant to reference the city's per-unit affordable-housing subsidy ... unfortunately, we included private (nonsubsidy) money in our math, which was wrong. We printed a prominent correction/explanation in the next issue. The corrected figure is $41,473 per unit. Whether that is too much is, of course, up to you, but please use the correct figure in debate. As we said in print, sorry for leading everyone astray.

If you don't like what's being discussed here, don't complain - change the subject (Mpls-specific, of course.) ________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Un-subscribe, etc. at: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
