Space and Time: The Flagship Proposals
The Minnesota Housing Sovereignty Act & The Minnesota Workweek Liberation Act
Welcome to Space and Time, the foundation of my campaign for the Minnesota House. These two flagship proposals, the Minnesota Housing Sovereignty Act and the Minnesota Workweek Liberation Act, are designed to secure the material conditions of freedom itself. Together, they form a framework for human flourishing, where automation serves humanity, housing becomes a right of stewardship, and every Minnesotan has the time and security to build a meaningful life.

Space and Time is more than policy, it’s the architecture of liberty. These proposals lay the groundwork for a future where freedom isn’t an illusion granted by wealth, but a shared reality built through collective progress.

Part I — The Minnesota Housing Sovereignty Act
Housing should not be a commodity. The Minnesota Housing Sovereignty Act establishes Sovereign Homes, publicly managed and occupant owned 3D printed dwellings, sold at-cost on a 15 year anti-speculation stewardship covenant. Built from local materials, designed for energy independence, and permanently removed from the speculative market. This Act transforms housing into a foundation of freedom, not a source of debt.

Part II — The Minnesota Workweek Liberation Act
Time is the true currency of freedom. The Minnesota Workweek Liberation Act phases down to a 32-hour workweek by 2031 and a 16-hour week by 2040, allowing automation to replace necessary labor so that people can live, learn, and create. Work becomes a choice, not a condition of survival.
BUILDING SOVEREIGN HOMES
✶
Sovereign Homes are the practical foundation of the Minnesota Housing Sovereignty Act. They are custom-designed, publicly managed, and resident-owned homes built at cost using modern construction methods. Permanently removed from the speculative market, they are designed to provide long-term stability, energy efficiency, and real ownership without debt-driven insecurity. In this way, they revive the Jeffersonian Yeoman ideal for the 21st century, grounding political liberty in material independence and giving ordinary people true sovereignty over their homes and their lives.
BUILDING THE VERTICAL COMMONS
✶
Sovereign Towers are the future apartment counterpart to Sovereign Homes. Designed for density, resilience, and safety, they use modular construction and redundant systems that prioritize human security even under system stress. Planned as a later phase, Sovereign Towers allow the state to scale housing access without sacrificing dignity, autonomy, or long-term affordability.
THE SOVEREIGN DESIGN STUDIO
✶
The Sovereign Design Studio democratizes architecture itself. It allows people to design their own homes and living spaces within safe, cost-controlled frameworks. By separating design choice from speculative pricing, the Studio ensures that customization, dignity, and authorship are not reserved for the wealthy.
Building the Future of Freedom
✶
Every great change begins with an idea made real. The Space and Time framework is a promise that Minnesota’s future can belong to everyone, not just the privileged few. If you believe in housing as a right, time as freedom, and technology as liberation, help me build it.
