Minneapolis has used a tangle of state, county, and city agencies to deny responsibility for the housing crisis while exercising impressive coordination in brutal displacement of houseless people. The latest on deck in this despicable game with deadly consequences is the Office of Community Planning and Economic Development— which definitely has the power and authority to solve houselessness, not push it aside, if we can undo its capture by rich real estate speculators.
