Land values and lot sizes from current public tax records:

MCDA Office Bldg:  $462,000 / 18,471 sq. ft. = $25.01 per ft.

Mayor Rybak's House:  $120,000 / 8,442 sq. ft. = $14.21 per ft.

J. Cherryhomes' House:  $14,500 / 8,127 sq. ft. = $1.78 per ft.

Target Center:  $12,159,900 / 127,999 sq. ft. = $95.00 per ft.

Note:  Target Center apparently doesn't pay any taxes, despite the $95 per
square foot land value.  The MCDA is listed as the owner of the property
and NO TAXES appear on the public records.  The address is 600 1st Avenue
N.  Check it out for yourself.

How long are Minneapolis residents going to tolerate such inequities and
the lies that perpetuate them?

Attention List Journalists:  There is a Pulitzer Prize in this story.

P.S.  - Check out the valuation history once you're in the City Property
search.  For example, Cherryhomes' house was last sold in 1994 for $49,000
to D. Johnson and N. Lovett.  Who knows when/how Cherryhomes got it.  The
address is 1216 Sheridan Avenue N.
