Interesting article in Sunday's PIONEER PRESS regarding the Southwest Minneapolis condo conversions and how they are taking a big bite out of affordable housing units. " ' These things are coming fast and furious,' said Patrick Todd, a city assessor. 'You have affordable housing renters vying for the same square footage as first-time home buyers-both trying to occupy the same square footage. So who should be there?' " The article outlines what some renters would have to pay in order to buy their units and discusses possible changes to the city ordinances regarding condo conversions.
