Council member Tolbert: Control oversize home construction in Mac Groveland and Highland Park

Stop the proliferation of oversized tear-down / remodeled homes in our great St. Paul's neighborhoods!

Why is this important?

We have watched as an alarming number of homes in St. Paul neighborhoods have been torn-down/remodeled and rebuilt into manufactured spec homes that are truly out of place.   The selling prices on these homes, frequently exceeding $500K, are guaranteed to result in property tax increases for all of us. With higher taxes, we have lost views and sunlight, lots of old St. Paul charm, and our quality of life.
