And so they're going to move around to locations where they're going to find a better quality of life. And what form that takes for those on the streets might be quite different. But this is one of the challenges why you need sort of state and federal coordination. You can't simply have programs that are a one-off program in one city.

And so seeing things that are more broad-based is an important challenge. element of this, I think it fits into a broader network of support that needs to be provided, whether that's drug treatment, whether that's mental illness help, whether that's just related to food insecurity and job training and other needs.

But in terms of what we've seen in the homelessness space, housing comes first and solving that problem first seems to be the way in which better solutions follow.

Yeah, Minneapolis reacted responsibly to a local housing crisis. They were seeing this lack of affordability and a lack of units, and they took meaningful steps to make it easier to build in the city of Minneapolis. And I think this is something that is going to be used as a model soon. around the country. We're hearing from a number of cities that they're looking into this in much more detail.

Again, this isn't about building skyscrapers on every corner. It's about sensible densification, especially around transit, where we can reduce dependence on cars. And so this is relaxing single family zoning and lot sizes. So allowing for things like duplexes or four-unit, very small multifamily developments.

This is related to parking requirements and some of the other things that might be required in an apartment building that take up a lot of additional space where units would otherwise be useful. So there's a number of things along those lines that I think when combined with transit-oriented development, so developing near where public transit is available,

can greatly relax some of these affordability constraints. And we've seen this play out in Minneapolis already. And it's an early stage because building takes time. Acquiring land, acquiring financing, and actually getting the buildings built is very time consuming. And so I think we're still in the very early days of measuring the consequences in a city like Minneapolis.

But thus far, we've seen prices grow more slowly in Minneapolis than in many other cities. And I think that that is something that we should keep a close eye on and potentially think of those steps as a model for other local governments who say, we want to do something about this that isn't necessarily drastic.
