From the the Star Tribune:

"Meanwhile, Victoria Heller, a longtime property owner in the Cedar-Riverside area, has criticized the city for pushing the Riverside Station development. She said the affordable-housing development is an example of a project overindulged with subsidies: "Eleven [mostly public] funding sources!" stated Heller, who owns the land near the rail station where the project would be built. "This is outrageous!" she said adamantly.
But Riverside Station's proximity to light rail may help it win public money. The Twin Cities Housing Development Corporation, the nonprofit group that is a co-developer, is making sure potential funding sources know its proposed location."
Interesting article, I'm still undecided on the whole subsidy issue though.
