For example, nearly all building codes require developers to provide two off-street parking spaces per house, and most apartment buildings provide at least one parking space per bedroom and sometimes more.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')url=http://kaaltv.com/article/stories/S673285.shtml?cat=10151]Mpls. approves $5.6M to redevelop foreclosed properties[/url]

The money will be distributed as follows:

$500,000 will establish financing mechanisms to purchase and redevelop foreclosed homes and residential properties, including using soft seconds, loan loss reserves and shared equity loans for low and moderate-income homebuyers.

$1,464,800 will support the First Look Program, a new national pilot project launched in Minneapolis to coordinate the transfer of real estate-owned properties from financial institutions nationwide to local housing organizations, in collaboration with state and local governments.

$1,515,200 will be used to acquire vacant foreclosed properties that are not candidates for rehabilitation, demolish them, and hold them as vacant parcels until the market is ready to absorb new development of owner-occupied housing units.

$1,700,000 will be used to demolish blighted structures. To date, the city has more than 900 properties on its vacant and boarded list.

$420,000 will cover program administration costs.

The $5.6 million in federal funds for Minneapolis was part of a larger $58 million package the state received for foreclosure relief.

This is NOT a net gain to society.

This is simply just taking money from person A and giving it to person B.

Myself, family, friends and many business associates never would have purchased, renovated, demolished or rented many city properties without subsidized improvements, subsidized rents and other incentives.
