Duluth looks to ‘tiny homes’ to help ease housing crunch

A little further down in the feed you’ll find a story about how Toronto is working to add a lot of housing units in the next 10 years. In Duluth, they’re working toward the same goal, adding housing units. And their approach is similar to Toronto — deregulation. Specifically, Duluth has made tiny homes legal when they once were not.

It’s a perspective that matters in Minot. Tiny homes, or accessory dwelling units, as they are known in the planning business, are not legal here. Meanwhile, we’ve spent many tens of millions of dollars building federally subsidized affordable housing units. Maybe there’s another way. Get the full story from MPR below.
