Saint Paul progressives are all about high density housing and development.
In the Midway. Or out on the East Side. Or all up and down University Avenue.
Not, you know, where they live:
Neighbors who rallied together under the title “Friends of A Better Way St. Paul” had said the St. Paul Planning Commission had mishandled a series of zoning variances related to the height and density of the proposed structure, which would span 80 residential apartments and four restaurant-ready commercial spaces at ground level.
Fearless prediction: the development gets built, but only after the city spends enough on fighting the court case against the well-heeled neighborhood to have hired 200 cops.
The solution is simple: charge $8,000 a month for each of the 80 residential units. That will bring in the type of progressives who will drive out the low-class scum calling themselves “Friends of A Better Way St. Paul”.
