On This Day | Who Holds the Power to Stop Housing
Author
MinotVoice
The zoning ordinance states plainly that apartment houses shall not be located in Eastwood park. The Board of Adjustment desire to know the limitations of their powers. It is reported that efforts are to be made to build other apartment houses in Eastwood park. The residents of that district feel that the city of Minot owes it to them to determine the constitutionality of the zoning ordinance.

Why We Chose It
Zoning was new to cities at this time, and it was used for both legitimate and legitimately racist purposes. Minot’s implementation seems — by demographic facts alone — to have born from legitimate reasons, but it almost immediately begin working against affordable housing and prosperous neighborhoods. Today, we accept the outcomes of zoning as “the way its always been”, but it’s worth noting that our most prosperous, least-subsidized years were also years where zoning regulation was the lightest.
