Recently, I wrote about encouraging the Mayor and City Council to take some drastic measures to fill the empty homes in NoMi by offering them up for $1, perhaps by starting with city employees.
Today, I saw this news headline of something similar taking place in Detroit. Detroit Mayor Dave Bing is offering abandoned homes to police officers for only $1000.
I'm super excited to see this happening there because I think it will strengthen the likelihood that we will get some action like this here in Minneapolis.
Go ahead and take a few minutes to write to all the council members and the Mayor and encourage them to follow Mayor Bing's lead and let's get it started! We're already half a decade into this housing crisis!
