Like a stopped clock that is right twice a day, the Democratic Party periodically stumbles into a correct public policy.
But whenever it does so, the party’s twin obsessions, race and climate change, undo what little good has been done.Affordable housing is one of the biggest barriers young couples face when starting a new family. Higher housing costs means fewer marriages, which causes more out-of-wedlock births, weaker communities, more crime, and higher levels of income inequality. Communities everywhere have a vested interest in making sure young people can buy a home, get married, and start a family.
But then the lawsuits started. In 2019 both Smart Growth Minneapolis and Minnesota Citizens for the Protection of Migratory Birds claimed the city had violated the Minnesota Environmental Rights Act. This is Minnesota’s version of the federal government’s National Environmental Policy Act, which also empowers aggrieved parties to stop new infrastructure in court if the government fails to jump through various environmental planning hoops.
“Plaintiffs have outlined numerous environmental impairments that are likely to result by virtue of the full implementation of the 2040 Plan,” the judge wrote. “The court finds that such damage to the environment would be an irreparable harm to the environment, the protection of which is viewed by this state as being of paramount concern."
