Why this is better

Corrected '2040' from an implied effective year to its actual meaning as the name of the Minneapolis 2040 comprehensive plan (adopted 2018, effective January 1, 2020), and removed the unverified/misattributed co-author 'Kyle Monson' from the citation of Evan Mast's research on new construction and nearby rents. Verified fully applied, no stale mentions remain.
