be of interest to those concerned about affordable housing and fighting poverty
as well as those interested in putting smiles on Minneapolis faces.

having a stable home life does improve one's sex-life. Minneapolis needs
more affordable homeownership and better sex lives don't you think? Better sex
lives certainly makes for happier, more smiley people and Minneapolis does need
more of those. Might give "Minnesota Nice" a whole new meaning in the old
River City.
