[Mpls] Home Ownerships: The Problems

[Jim Mork]

Dyna's sad story is a good illustration of one of the PROBLEMS of home 
ownership.  The city requires some upkeep.  And sometimes it may not be 
affordable or even physically possible.  I think the city should have a 
roster of reasonably-priced services and an arrangement to pay the cost off 
over five years on the property tax bill.  Oh, and of course, the owners 
would have to be able to keep up with property taxes, not fall behind.  Home 
ownership is a great boon, but not everyone can handle it.
