@peterwagenius.bsky.social testifying today on #HF2140, which legalizes mixed-use housing statewide. In Minneapolis, we can building homes on top of grocery stores, but that's not possible everywhere now. #HF2140 would legalize that all across Minnesota. @moreneighbors.org @sierraclubmn.bsky.social

Linnea Goderstad speaking in support of #HF2140 at the House Housing Committee today: "Attached homes like ours, along with triplexes and fourplexes, that #HFF2140 legalizes, are more accessible than single-family homes." @moreneighbors.org @sierraclubmn.bsky.social

We are back today at 12:30 to the MN Senate Housing Committee hearing #SF2231, a Missing Middle type bill, (Companion to #HF2140 that was heard in the House yesterday) and then #SF1268 - People over Parking. #YesToHomes #MNleg

A snafu! Some testifiers are here for the next bill 2018, and we are back to Kraft to discuss #HF2140.

When asked about allowing more starter homes on small lots, 1400 sq ft or larger, 74% of Minnesotans support #YesToHomes Minnesota Starter Home Act (#HF1987 / #SF2229) to allow townhouses and the lot size per home proposed in the More Homes More Places bill (#HF2140 / #SF2231) #MNleg

Allowing small multi-family homes like triplexes and fourplexes as well as duplexes and townhomes in more places are strongly supported by Minnesotans and are proposed in the More Homes More Places bill (#HF2140 / #SF2231) #MNleg #YesToHomes

Currently cities require HOAs for a variety of reasons. A major one is to simply reduce the allowed density in an area. Often leaving land empty simply to reduce the overall homes per acre to half or a quarter of what might otherwise be allowed. #SF2229 #YesToHomes #MNleg
