The saga of low density affordable housing takes a new turn.

Minnetonka city council approved this. But only because the church was forced to sell off the church playground to this development. Adding this extra land finally met the arbitrary low density math, so the 10 units were approved by the city council.

- Total units didn’t change.
- The church sold off its playground which will be demolished.
- By lumping the land of the playground into the 10 unit affordable housing proposal, the math now fits the performative fiction of low density. And everyone who was clutching pearls over traffic and character can sleep at night now.

Now the church gets to go out and ask for new funding and grants to rebuild a new church playground.

Money well spent out in Minnetonka?
