Great article featured by Kathy Wurzer on mpr MN now today! Higher density development in the urban core can help solve both climate change & the lack of affordable housing while protecting green space beyond the suburbs. The author shared that MN Audobon pulled out of the lawsuit blocking the MN 2040 Plan implementation

In Minneapolis, the housing shortage has fractured the green community.
