Is it a partnership if one of the parties has NO CHOICE about participating? I think we'd call that something else!

No, thank you, to SF2231.

A drawing of some houses is placed on a green background. The text below the image reads: "SF2231/HF2140 would allow three or four homes to be build on lots in cities - increasing the types of homes available to Minnesotans!"

Top text: "We need your help to increase housing choices"
Bottom text: "A proposed bill (SF2231/HF2140) would allow more home choices and lower housing costs. Here's how:"

Rick Varco - SEIU - Supporting both #SF2231 and #SF1268 everyone has different preferences for parking "local communities should not impose the preferences of some on everyone else" "local governments force people to pay for parking they do not want"

Thomas Elness - AARP - love to see AARP putting their muscle behind our #YesToHomes Coaliton. "Allow people to choose how they live as they age. That includes where they live." #SF2231 a member said "We live in a 5 bedroom home, but we can't find a home to downsize into in our community."
