Minneapolis’ Secret 2040 Sauce was Engagement

By on December 10, 2018 in 2040 Minneapolis Comprehensive Plan, Planning

Big Developers, Big Business, Big Southwest Agree on Mpls 2040

By on October 16, 2018 in 2040 Minneapolis Comprehensive Plan, Development

The Star Tribune got big local developer Kelly Doran to talk about Minneapolis 2040, a plan that would allow more housing across all parts of the city. Doran said 2040 was “silly,” and that triplexes won’t turn him a profit. He even sees it as a threat to neighborhood character. It’s funny because Doran is constructing […]

Minneapolis 2040 Opposition: A Look At The Signs

By on September 25, 2018 in 2040 Minneapolis Comprehensive Plan, Housing, Land use, Maps, Public Policy

High property wealth and homeownership is the connecting thread among those strongly opposed to the Minneapolis 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The Strib recently reported on rumors that city planners will scale back on the nationally heralded plan to legalize fourplexes citywide. The new plan could instead allow for triplexes everywhere.
