The Seward neighborhood in Minneapolis is very good.

I hauled a couch home on my Burley Flatbed trailer. Even though this is the biggest item I've carried, it wasn't very difficult; the flatbed is perfect for setting a rigid frame item across top of it. Then ratchet strapped it down, and rode nice and slow the short distance from the ReStore to home.
Thanks for taking the video Stina!

On April 24 the Planning Commission was voting on what changes to recommend to City Council. I decided to tell a personal story about home hunting in Minneapolis, focusing on the issue of allowing small-scale commercial uses in neighborhoods.
There are a lot of other issues at play as well, so check out this podcast episode (start at 26:39 for the Minneapolis section) to learn about everything that Neighbors for More Neighbors wants to see.
