Queen of the Low income high rises in North!

For those of you who have had just about enough of the financial burden of the low income housing projects placed in North Minneapolis we can stand up and pat Kris Brogan on the back for this! Kris has worked tirelessly to get more and more social service project living complexes and Low income housing into North Minneapolis then any other person running for office this year in Minneapolis!

Some of this work is done on the board of RS Eden, a company known for low income housing for newly released offenders, addicts, and alcoholics. They have a nice big newer building on Broadway that Mrs. Brogan played a roll in and two projects on Lyndale and Lowry Avenue North. You know the ones, they have the people sitting around on the retaining wall as you walk by....the ones with the garbage blowing around the front yard and into the street, yep that's two more of her pet projects. That does not include her work with Alliance Housing and the low income projects they have brought into this neighborhood.

North Minneapolis has long been the target of company's like RS Eden and Alliance Housing that believe because of the issues here they can move in with a lot less resistance then say Edina or Richfield or for that matter other parts of Minneapolis with higher tax bases! Yes sir, Kris Brogan has been a huge advocate in bringing these places right into your back yard and has made her living doing so!

The following is right from her election page:

Quality Housing

Our community was built for working families, let’s bring them back.

• It’s time to rebuild; time to turn those empty lots into healthy homes for good families.
• Demand equal investment in Northside neighborhoods
• Take swift action and be relentless in our efforts to address problem properties

So what do you think she has in mind for these empty lots next to you and I and just about everyone else we know in North Minneapolis? Do you think she will change her ways and put in homes that have equal value to yours? Do you think Mr. and Mrs Smith from out of town are going to move their family in next door? My bet is its going to be more of the same, more low income program type buildings!

Makes one wonder if that's why she does not want the Salvation Army in North? There not a client and she is not on their board! But wait, has she come right out and said she didn't want them here? No- i will quote what she wrote on her Facebook page: " The Salvation Army made a good presentation and the neighbors had good questions. This type of community engagement will make our neighborhoods and community stronger! Thanks to everyone for your contributions." Looks like maybe she is just riding the fence on this one, it is after all a potential client and she is running for office!
