Great new story by @blindeke.bsky.social on single-staircase reform, a proposed state change that would enable more livable and varied types of housing, while reducing construction costs! www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...

Minnesota building code should loosen up on single-stair buildingswww.minnpost.com Larger apartment buildings are built with two staircases, but the requirement hurts efforts to improve access to affordable housing.

I am very proud of this. My pals at @sustainstpaul.bsky.social and I have been organizing support for years (not exaggerating) in anticipation of yesterday's hearing. What a thrill to see such overwhelming support for this proposal in the public process.

We were so proud and thrilled to see the huge stream of pro-housing testimony for proposed zoning changes, both in-person at the city council today and in the written comments. Thanks to everyone who's supported our work on this — we're making real progress! www.startribune.com/public-shows...
