Strong implementation for rent stabilization 🏡

🔊 The City of St. Paul must act with the urgency necessary to make sure this ordinance is enacted with a transparent and community-informed process, according to the will of the voters and with strong enforcement. 🏡 housingequitystp.org/implementation…

About a hundred college students are at the state capitol today to talk MN's $9.25 billion budget surplus, starting with a press conference on rent stabilization. @ISAIAHMN @YACoalition and students of Macalester's community organizing cohort organized the event.

"Few policies outperform rent stabilization when it comes to increasing neighborhood stability. But... now a few developers have threatened to pack up their toys and leave the sandbox. Only, their math doesn’t check out." 🔊 minnpost.com/community-voic…

"The reality is that St. Paul’s rent stabilization policy brings stability to everyone, something just as important to the economy as housing supply." ⚖️ Read more from housing finance lawyer Tim Walsh for @MinnPost. ⬇️ minnpost.com/community-voic…

🔊 “These clear definitions are based off of what’s worked in other cities, which means there’s someone we can lean on when we have questions. I ask that you vote in support of Ordinance 22-16 on April 6.” — Tram Hoang, Director of Policy and Research at @HsngJustice

“It’s been 141 days since November 2, and there are only 38 days left. As a former landlord and tenant, clear language and definitions are what’s best for everyone. I respectfully urge the City to move forward on implementation as soon as possible.” — Dan Krivit
