Minneapolis Folks, I am disappointed to read that 12th Ward Council Member Sandy Colvin Roy opposed affordable housing for her district. The Simpson Housing project seems perfect for that LRT corridor. We need to build more high density, affordable housing along transit corridors, and this appears to be a perfect location. I hope that the city will reconsider this project. I doubt we would have any opposition from city officials if the project was to build half million and million dollar town homes.
