NEW RESEARCH: @MaryJoWebster and I document that multi-family zoning is strongly correlated with racial integration in the Twin Cities. In parallel, Matt Resseger finds the same in Greater Boston. Here's a brief summarizing & contextualizing both papers.

@MaryJoWebster @MaryJoWebster and I find that a multifamily-zoned block group in the Twin Cities metro has 21 percentage points more non-White residents than a similarly situated block group zoned single-family only. 
Matt Resseger's research - this began as his Harvard dissertation 10 years ago - is even better. He's able to use city block boundaries in Greater Boston to show how zoning results in racial variation across the street.

Oh, another workgroup has been launched. This time by @HennepinAtty Mike Freeman as he attempts to deflect blame and pretend he's not significantly responsible for the #TwinCities being overrun by violence and repeat offenders.

Also, Mike, do your job on ALL crime, not just your new pet project of carjackings. Other non-violent and property crimes significantly impact victims' lives and inflict significant costs to society, including auto thefts, burglaries, catalytic converter thefts. @HennepinAtty

Responding to a disputed domestic disturbance call, nearly 100 officers from a slew of south suburban police depts – including the South Metro SWAT unit, 4 snipers, three K-9 units, an MRAP, & 2 Bearcats – quickly surrounded #IsakAden in a parking lot off HWY 13 in Eagan.

The #3rdPrecinct was burning steadily at ~11 p.m. last night. The grounds were covered with graffiti, while the building was occupied inside all the way to the rooftop.
