Well the stats say that 4,000 units were knocked down in the past ten years in
Mpls, where in St.Paul that number is 2,000. Clearly housing and affordable
housing is an issue on each level of government, but the least we can ask is
that government not make the situation any worse. My opinion is that policies
do not reflect the needs of each community. Assessing the strengths and the
weakness different parts of the city and country have.  I wonder how far the
city's policies are going to alleviate the problem. If they continue to take
down good houses and only replace 20-30 percent. That's just not going to cut
it.
