We've actually just gone through this in Richfield. Starting in 2026, short term rentals must be for a 5 day minimum, and there's a cap of 100 licenses citywide. (We don't believe we currently have more than 100)

A ban was originally proposed, this was a compromise to allow some benefits to remain

Bingo. If you've got good-faith ideas, send 'em over! I think a lot of the customer base of the businesses here is actually far-south Minneapolis (66th is the biggest commercial street south of Lake). They should tell us what they think!

This is in the DFL constitution and I literally noted that three Frey endorsers had the same issue. The point wasn't to call out the endorsers, it was to note one benefit to all of Fateh's opponents.

If there's a city level thing that changes that, link me please. I was under the impression all party units had to follow state constitution.

I actually don't like this rule, and was perfectly happy to see you support Davis. But as far as I know, rule still applies.

This is from the DFL constitution - were Fateh an endorsed candidate, Davis is a candidate running against a DFL-endorsed candidate.

I understand that there's nuance with RCV but I have never heard anyone say this doesn't count in an RCV jurisdiction.

(Frey also had three endorsements by DFL-endorsed candidates in this same cycle — Palmisano, Rainville, Vetaw)

DeWayne Davis seems like a great guy has a lot more to offer than being not-Frey. While this maybe hurts the not-Frey cause generally, I think it slightly helps him specifically.

The rules aren't very closely followed, but in theory Davis's DFL-endorsed endorsers should have withdrawn their Davis endorsement, if there were a legitimate endorsement for Fateh.

Without a mayoral endorsement, DFL electeds are free to support whoever they think would do the best job.

Richfield has a multi-step process for these major projects. This first open house is focused on "existing conditions" — a blank map of what's out there today, and people can share their ideas, and their complaints about what's not working well today.

Davis structurally had no reason to make a challenge when Frey was doing it anyway — it would irk his base for no benefit over what was happening anyway.

But Davis benefits the exact same as Frey does if the endorsement of Fateh is deemed illegitimate.

Aw c'mon
