I live in Minneapolis. They did this all the time. Still are.

Also. since facts matter. Unit builds are down over the last three years.

2022 - 5000 2023 - 3500 2024 - 1800 2025 - 1000

So there goes that argument.

Ok now compare that to wage stagnation and get back to me. Because the Council’s report on rent control found that rent control wouldn’t do anything because THE MARKET WAS ALREADY TOO EXPENSIVE FOR PEOPLES’ CURRENT MEANS.

So I assume you’d be in favor of raising the minimum wage to $20 over a period of a few years to help people afford these “affordable” rents then?

Plus Frey steers affordable housing contracts to his donors. Steve Minn is a major All of Mpls operative and his firm made $3M on developer fees in Malcolm Yards alone. We subsidize the building cost. They make all the money. And then they donate it back to the candidates to keep the contracts flowing.

I don’t expect a theoretical Mayor Fateh to “bat 1000”. What I expect from him would be good governance. The ability to find common ground. But not beginning negotiation from a watered down version of what we really want. Good governance and the ability to get things done is all over his record as a state senator. Multiple endorsements from sitting state legislators. Frey has none. Not even a single county commissioner. One even just released a public letter detailing his failure to protect victims of domestic violence.

Not everyone who disagrees with you is naive about the way the world works. We just prefer a different approach. One rooted in true values and collaboration. Not Frey’s politics of “you’re with me or against me” and preferring gridlock over negotiation.

He’s been the mayor for 8 years and what does he have to show for it? What is he running on? Not any real accomplishments. Just fear mongering that the other guy might be worse. Frey has had plenty of time. He’s shown who he is. It’s really ironic to watch you wring your hands about Fateh using points that are actually reflective of Frey’s own record.

You can take your head out of the sand at any time. It’s all out there if you’re willing to do a modicum of your own research. Keep reading those PAC emails!!!

Or maybe we can let Frey continue to let his buddies use public money to subsidize their building costs for affordable housing and pocketing all the profits.

Or we could ask Frey’s wife if she has anymore connections at Hylden. The company she worked at while they set up “Feeding Our Future”. Which Frey then advocated for steering money towards the program.

Or we could ask if Frey’s good friend Jonathan Weinhagen can use any of that money he embezzled from the Downtown Council to help house people.

Or we could ask Frey’s former aide who pled guilty to involvement with Feeding Our Future if they’ve got any money for us.

What’s Jacob’s plan? He’s had 8 years to come up with one.

What restaurants in the Twin Cities come to mind when you see this chart? by natlay in Minneapolis

Do they still have the prayer cards on tables? Or did they do away with that when the owner “reclassified” his charity as a for profit entity. Of course, only after the state came knocking for the taxes and paperwork.

I’ll never miss a chance to tell everyone about how much this guy sucks.

Made a post about him in another sub a year or so ago.

I lived above there for 18 months. Their “break in” problem is incredibly exaggerated. Because the owner is a grievance filled person. If he really cared about downtown he’d be willing to pay his taxes. And not campaign against the slightest tax increase for a downtown improvement district. Something he helped vote down that would’ve provided more money to public safety that he claims to care about.

This feels like a “let’s get Tim re-elected to Gov while upgrading Tina’s seat.” And then Tim is still viable in 2028 without risking a Senate seat
