Several Duluth residents held a rally and banded together for a march for affordable housing within the city. Members of the Duluth Community Housing Alliance marched from the Nettleton Elementary down to the Clayton-Jackson-McGhei memorial.
Carl Sack, one of the organizers for the event said people are protesting against high rent rates, not enough temporary housing, and no long-term solutions for people without homes.
“We can’t just gentrify our way out of the housing crisis,” Sack said. “We need real solutions that cater to all income levels in the city, especially those who are dealing with poverty and low income, but also the middle class folks.”
Sack said many properties sold to developers in Duluth are now luxury apartments that people can’t afford. One of the properties Sack said has seen little to no renovation is the Nettelton Elementary.
