This is a photo of abandoned public housing on the north side of Minneapolis in 1998. The housing, among the most affordable in the entire region, was about to be torn down to make way for a new, mixed-income community. The families living in this housing were relocated to other neighborhoods throughout the region. This housing sat vacant while opposing parties fought over its ultimate disposition.

The housing was torn down over a four-year period from 1998 to 2002.
