Chris Meyer uses a revenue argument as a reason to approve new development. He tells the city council they're about to have some really difficult budget decisions. Think of your most important priorities. Then consider the revenue that comes from a new apartment building in Linden Hills.

More housing means more places to live more affordably and more people to share the costs of running a city!
As people receive their property tax notices and the City Council considers their budget, something to keep in mind is that one of the easiest ways for the city to get revenue is to simply allow new market-rate housing to be built here.

Drip. Drip. Drip. Little by little an extremely small number of cities have begun to address historic exclusionary zoning rules/practices.
Local zoning has not really been about safety or fairness for decades (if it ever was), but rather arbitrary limits.

The mayor’s “Housing Options and Opportunity” legislation – including Bill 25-0066 – will go a long way toward fixing an unfair system, she says. [OP-ED]

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.
Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.
The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.
Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M
