Create incentives for affordable housing, such as reduced property tax rate for those within a 5-mile radius of the city core (both St. Paul and Mpls.) Any "gentrification" must include a set percentage of affordable units.

Affordable housing is important, but the city cannot mandate that all developments include a set percentage of affordable units. You'll destroy incentives to build high-end, higher-quality buildings. There are already programs in place that incentivize developments with affordable housing.

Just make it easier to build more buildings in the core. More supply = lower price. Stop subsidising exurban living.

A huge % of subsidized housing and much of the unsubsidized affordable housing is already in those 5 mile rings.
