7/1/2016 St. Paul considers 'granny flats' as affordable housing option along Green Line - StarTribune.com <br />"And then really thinking about what the neighborhood looks like, and does it fit with <br />the neighborhood and what the current style is? And a lot of people's understanding is <br />no." <br />Despite concerns, the community council voted in support of the proposed city <br />ordinance allowing accessory units. <br />The units could help reduce per capita energy use, make some large homes more useful <br />and provide housing needed for seniors, Suyapa wrote in a letter to the City Council. <br />She said the units would offer lower-cost housing to people who otherwise would not be <br />able to afford to live in the neighborhood. <br />Jessie.VanBerkel@startribune.com <br />http://www.startribune.com/st-paul-considers-granny-flats-as-affordable-housing-option-along-green line/382309871/ 2/2 <br />
