Thank you Senator @lindseyportmn.bsky.social and Sen. Jim Carlson for joining @isaiahmn.org and #YesToHomes in Inver Grove Heights this morning! Dakota County residents are asking #mnleg to pass bills that allow more homes in more places and put an end to exclusionary zoning laws.

In Minnesota these are called aesthetic mandates. And in addition to making strange looking buildings, they also add unnecessary costs.
#HF2013 / #SF2836 is in the #MNleg this session to help address rules like these that block homes and make them more expensive. #YesToHomes

This is an example of how Objective Design Standards, which are part of zoning, make buildings look like patchwork. Dublin (which does do a good job of building housing) has 42 pages of ODS www.dublin.ca.gov/DocumentCent...

EIGHTY percent of MN voters polled want action from state government to allow more homes, and fix our housing shortage -- 80%! We need #mnleg to act. #YesToHomes
So, what do Minnesotans think should be done about the need for more homes?
They agree that we need to enact the entire #YesToHomes agenda at the state level. 80% think #MNleg should take action to allow more homes in Minnesota.

Only 25% of city lots allow more than one home per lot.
75% ban apartments, ADUs, and townhomes.
City interest groups look at those numbers and say “never change”. #YesToHomes

80% of Minnesotans agree: We don’t have enough homes & the #MNleg should fix it.
But city interest groups are using taxpayer $ to prevent that, which means higher rents & fewer opportunities.
We demand a future where we can choose where to live. Where every city has thriving neighborhoods.

Our twin cities are making progress to fill the gap but it’s not enough. We invite cousins in the suburbs & greater MN to make it easier to build more homes. I look forward to the help of these 2 fantastic mission-driven nonprofits to help us make the changes we need at the state level.

This also included the A-19 amendment which limits cities power to require HOAs.
Cities in MN are using HOAs to do things like force front yards to be owned by the HOA rather than by homeowners.
HOAs can still be formed for parks, pools, and other amenities. As chosen by residents. #YesToHomes

Loved to see the facts on parking from Sen. @omarfatehmn.com today during the hearing on #SF1268. Parking mandates are a large driver of the cost of homes in Minnesota.
Allowing more homes to be built by removing parking mandates (often a 3 car garage) is crucial to the #YesToHomes agenda.
Allowing more homes to be built by removing parking mandates (often a 3 car garage) is crucial to the #YesToHomes agenda.
Parking mandates were introduced to prevent cars from being parked on streets. "Rather than parking lots land could be used to build homes, farms, businesses (and more) instead." "The average parking spot in Minneapolis costs $40k per spot to build." "Renters can save $200-300/month per spot".
