A controversial plan to make Minneapolis a more densely populated city has enough support on the City Council to pass when it comes to a vote next month, council members said this week.
Six council members reached by the Star Tribune indicated they would vote in support of the Minneapolis 2040 Comprehensive Plan on Dec. 7. It needs nine votes to pass, but even Council Member Linea Palmisano, who opposes the 2040 plan, believes it will move forward.
The 2040 plan would usher in citywide upzoning, allowing triplexes in neighborhoods currently reserved for single-family homes, and denser development along transit corridors. Since the plan became public this spring, impassioned residents have packed public hearings, planted lawn signs and sent thousands of online comments to express how they feel the plan would affect their neighborhoods.
This summer, city planners scaled back the density goals, which originally called for allowing fourplexes citywide. Before approving the revised plan, council members said they first want to introduce changes that would strengthen the goals to increase density, mitigate climate change and reduce racial disparities. They will propose the amendments at a committee meeting Nov. 26 and will meet two days before the vote to finalize any changes.

The Agenda 21 steamroller.
.........from orbit.
You can’t tell me the people of the city of Minneapolis WANT this.
Make Minneapolis more like Mogadishu.
Well seems to me they voted for it, based on who sits on the council.
Oh, they were too lazy to get off their asses to vote? Too damn bad. Embrace the suck!

“strengthen the goals to increase density, mitigate climate change and reduce racial disparities”
OMG!
“...allowing triplexes in neighborhoods currently reserved for single-family homes...”
“...the goals to increase density, mitigate climate change and reduce racial disparities.”
So, what percent of this new, higher density housing in formerly single family homes neighborhoods is reserved for Sec 8 renters? Get used to what’s coming, you suckers.
Just have some more Somali cops like Mohamed Noor shoot more unarmed white people in cold blood.

I wonder what the opinion of the new state attorney general would be.
“You can’t tell me the people of the city of Minneapolis WANT this.”
How did they vote 3 weeks ago? Not much different than the French people DEMANDING that everyone (i.e., the US) get on board with their Global Warming crusade. So the government there takes a small step to discourage driving, by raising gasoline prices a bit, and they start burning down the country.
[ increase density, mitigate climate change and reduce racial disparities. ]
Wow, theyz can dooz all that? Incredible!
Now they only need loudspeakers blaring “Imagine” 24/7.
Let’s build more slums....
Does Minn. have a water and waste water treatment facility to handle it all? Someone is going to pay for it.
Bail out to Scott County.
Yep, they voted for it....in somebody else’s neighborhood. I always ask liberals, “where are these people going to live?”. Well, now these people in Minneapolis know. You get what you vote for.
Note not one of the members of the Metropolitan Council are elected by anyone...they’re just political appointees...and they have taxing authority. Does the term taxation without representation ring any bells?
