The brief time for arguments and questions means that neither the parties nor the judges will be able to fully explore all aspects of the case, but it may give an idea as to how the judges may be approaching the case and how they may rule on it.

The Minneapolis 2040 comprehensive plan is currently in court and under attack, and Neighbors for More Neighbors is fighting to make sure this pro-housing plan is fully defended. Last Friday, July 1, Neighbors for More Neighbors, in partnership with allied groups, filed a leave with state district court for our joint amicus brief in support of the Minneapolis 2040 Plan.

Many of us feel disappointment, frustration, and anger especially knowing how hard we worked to bring the 2040 Plan to the finish line. But it is not a disaster, it is an invitation – for both the City and Minneapolis 2040 supporters – to step up and make sure that positive momentum continues for the 2040 plan and everything it supports: abundant homes, affordability, climate action, and racial & economic justice.
