There still is hope for Mpls. when citizens like Vicky Heller, Eva Young, Craig Miller, Keith Reitman and others take the time to watchdog the City and speak out.
As a housing provider, the City has conscripted me to collect (Mug) more taxes and fees from renters yearly. All this so that they can spend willy-nilly and share their ill-gotten extortion's with their buddies, in form of favors, sweetheart contracts, grants, land, low interest loans, variances, appointments, etc. Example: Non-profit Developers who build $65,000.00 apartments at a cost of $120,000.00 to $255,000.00 per apartment. Just to pay their principal and interest, without any expenses, on the above amount exceeds the total rent charged by the private sector housing providers in most cases. Is there really a need to build apartments when the city has a record number of For Rent signs. How about Rent Stamps? Less cost, more choice. Sorry, but I believe the city could be run on the waste only. ?????Where is the outrage????? Mel Gregerson CAPS Housing Provider Since 1960 So.
