Housing advocates are cheering a decision to once again postpone demolition of public housing on Minneapolis ' near northside. Officials say they'll consider saving seventy units that remain from the hundreds demolished at two public housing projects. The demolition results from a housing discrimination lawsuit charging the city with concentrating poor people in one neighborhood. But advocates worry the postponement is a symbolic victory and doesn't solve the problem.
