The 2040 Plan wins (again) and lessons on MN statewide zoning reform
Manage episode 424211100 series 2908518
What have we learned from the big push for ambitious statewide zoning reforms during the 2024 Minnesota legislative session? From parking reform to fourplex legalization, most of these proposals failed to pass. But advocates got the conversation started and built an impressively broad coalition of housing, environmental, labor, faith groups, and others in support of these proposals. And they saved the 2040 Plan!
John's guests are Peter Wagenius of the Sierra Club and Andrea Riehl of Neighbors for More Neighbors. Peter says the League of Minnesota Cities rallying cry of "local control" is not a substantive vision for the future. If cities won't act on our housing and climate needs, we should expect the state to act for them. Andrea talks about a small but meaningful victory on single stairway reforms and a near victory on implementing a land value tax pilot.
