On May 7, a divided St. Paul City Council may vote to end rent control for buildings built/occupied after 2004. If they do, here's why: https://t.co/n1lB65tNY2

The St. Paul City Council voted 5-2 to create a new subcommittee, internal to the council, to discuss all manner of public safety budgets, from police and fire to code enforcement, as they did in the 1970s. Two council members switched sides in either direction:

Council Member Nelsie Yang, who was previously announced as a co-chair of the proposed Public Safety Budget Committee, has withdrawn her support, calling it duplicative. Cheniqua Johnson has also switched — to a yes. Privratsky is a no. Noecker a yes. Jost is a yes… https://t.co/4j90nWdkCI

Actually, here's three more rules my aged eyes must have glossed over...Yes, there are a lot. Final vote in May: https://t.co/gVnTY1PU9E

The @PioneerPress ran every proposed rule in the wide-ranging tenant protection package in print today. And online. And now on Twitter, below. https://t.co/iK8maGdMij As the "Enemy of the State" goes, seems local news is worth $3 for a year-long digital subscription: https://t.co/x7Z3r4Q5Hp

2024 was a no good, very bad year for new housing construction in St. Paul. Would ending rent control for newly-constructed buildings help? The mayor and at least 3 council members say yes. Opponents say interest rates, construction costs, downtown implosion are bigger factors. https://t.co/X8GuwoGnGb

In 2021, a federal judge put St. Paul's aggressive residential tenant protections on hold. They're back, rejiggered, before the city council for a public hearing Wednesday. Here's what's new and what's gone: https://t.co/iK8maGdesL

Also before the St. Paul City Council on Wednesday: the end of rent control for buildings that received their certificate of occupancy after 2004. These two proposals go hand-in-hand in the eyes of most but not all council members.

The city council last week appeared deeply divided between Matt Privratsky and Lisa Clare Nelson. The decision got punted to the mayor, who went with Privratsky. He'll serve 4 months through the Aug. 12 election.
