My thanks to the Housing Justice Center who fought tooth and nail for these tenants in the face of proceduralism and the cruel gears of bureaucracy. It's hard work, folks!

It's my main critique of the latest round of POPS agreements re: Allianz Field in St. Paul. No bathrooms (let alone ADA Accessible) for the "most accessible playground" in the city.
