The article states: The new units are: Heritage Park, Phase II, Aldrich Avenue North and 7th Street (57 units); Lydia Apartments, 1920 LaSalle Ave. (40 units); Franklin Gateway, 613 E. Franklin Ave. (36 units); Philips Park Initiative, Phase IIc, 2438 Oakland Ave. S (24 units); Trinity Gateway, 2805 E. Lake St. (16 units); and Lofts on Arts Avenue, 1817-29 3rd Ave. S. (seven units).
A total of 164 units with all but 16 of them being built in neighborhoods that are already highly concentrated with affordable housing. The 16 units not being built in an impacted area are within a half mile of an impacted area. I think that shows pretty clearly that concentration of poverty and special needs housing is alive and well in Minneapolis. I think purposely concentrating affordable housing projects in certain geographic areas could be construed as segregation. Anybody care to give another explanation for it?
