Not 100% sure, but it really seemed like that. Folks endorsements sure make it lean that way.

No, but if you're doorknocking and after one question you're already walking back your support... makes you wonder about the candidate.

Rhetorical, I know it's for money.

Folk is also proud to be endorsed by the worst people you know in Minnesota politics.

Door knocked by the Anders Folk Campaign, always a positive sign for you as a candidate when your door knockers say "I don't agree with everything he does, or all his policies." Sure... but then why are you door knocking for him?

To what extent do you think high HOA fees account for this? From looking around at Minneapolis condos when I'm bored on zillow, it's pretty typical to find HOA fees at a condo that are almost as high as rent in a nearby building. Not universal, but probably part of it.

Real weird how people on here will hate on ICE and what they do, then turn around and say "I hate transplants" as if that doesn't come from the same philosophy.

MPD still can’t answer questions about where all the money went. And now, Frey is directing them not to testify before the Council. What are they covering up? What don’t they want the public to know?

I am *losing it at Vetaw's comment.

"I'm devastated," Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw, one of the city's most vocal advocates for maintaining the unit, said in an interview. "These horses can see and do things that regular officers can't. They were a unique tool that I was glad Minneapolis had."

Every time one of these stories comes out, it's shown that the parents were actually abusive. There is an asymmetry where the parents are given a platform by Christian nationalist orgs and Fox News while the state cannot discuss any details due to privacy. So the narrative is set by the parents.

Screenshot of a Fox News post on X reporting on a Massachusetts family whose daughter was placed in state custody over gender transition disputes, with an embedded Fox News broadcast segment titled "Gender Treatment Lawsuit."

Yeah I was just talking to a census bureau guy in my building and he said the most surprising thing so far for him is how many people are using AI now, probably going to see that in the next data drop.

The US President's new proposal to tax international students has been approved by the White House for release this week. It's an unprecedented $100,000 tax on int'l grads who stay to work after graduation on Optional Practical Training (most grads do), a crucial bridge to remaining by any channel.

It's just a different philosophy for downtown. Downtown as rich suburbanite playground and not downtown as a neighborhood. A bad philosophy for downtown, but one nonetheless.

Also, brutal to read the first two paragraphs, where the exact event described just happened in Minneapolis...

So often these things are a trail of failed systems. While we can't be 100% sure better systems would have prevented a tragedy, we can be pretty confident in it.

I have not commented anywhere at all on this case so far, because I was/am really uninformed and didn't want to say anything with incomplete information. I will say, however, that this article is great and I really appreciate the broader coverage and perspective it provides.

I mean, yeah that's kinda how it played out. Benefits of freeways concentrated in the suburbs, negatives concentrated in the cities.

Of course this is true, just not as applied to Minneapolis. True for the suburbs, freeways increase commuting and trade access. But for Minneapolis, they decrease it through barrier effects, and the commuting gain is relatively small anyway. The report just misapplied the principle.

Essentially, yes that was there argument. "As the use of the automobile has increase in recent years, motorists have sough out street after street in search of a fast route home" and "more efficient travel will enhance the general economic development through efficient operations."

I would argue we as humans have never not been idiots.

040

This is from the report "Freeways... In Minneapolis" published in 1957. Boy were their predictions incorrect.
