Minneapolis workers haven't been able to afford Minneapolis since before anyone thought to ask why.
Mayor Frey has spent his tenure cultivating relationships with the real estate industry
while wages stagnated and rents climbed. The predictable result —
families sleeping outside in a Minnesota winter — wasn't an accident.
It was a policy outcome.
We swept the camps. We didn't fix the conditions that created them.
And so new ones form.
A city that works for everyone —
except the people who live here.
