Hi All,

New guy here. I just graduated from the MURP (Master of Urban and Regional Planning) program at the U of M Humphrey School. A couple of questions regarding revitalization efforts in North Minneapolis.

1. Is there any new news regarding the Sm+rt Homes initiative, of which Thor CEO Ravi Norman is involved? I remember reading about the effort to build a bunch of homes, but have only yet read about two that were actually completed, on Irving Avenue (Zillow listing below) and in Saint Paul. Local startup planning smart homes in N. Mpls | KARE11.com

Here's the Zillow page: https://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sal...omePageTab=buy

2. Going further back, anyone here knowledgable about the Hawthorne Homestead efforts in the early 2000s? I had a city planner give me minimal information about how a developer had tried to place manufactured homes on vacant lots, only to lose control of the project due to design problems and construction mishaps. But she didn't give me much more than that to work off. Google has been of poor assistance.

The common theme here is manufactured housing and it's opportunities and pitfalls in urban infill settings.

Thanks!
