A recent article in the Business section of the Strib would confirm your take. It's hard to recruit people but once ther're here they don't want to leave.

The STAR of the documentary IS SERVING TWENTY YEARS FOR MURDER!!!!
You mean all the new apartment buildings that have been built in that area since Floyd was murdered?
I’m not a suburbanite nor am I afraid to visit your city. It just has gone downhill in recent years and is a shit hole compared to other major cities across the country. Plenty of Minneapolis natives agree with me. That’s it.
Wrong.

Liz Collins a writer of this documentary is married to Bob Kroll a former Mpls police officer. Over the course of his career he's had 20 internal affairs complaints, and was the subject of several lawsuits that cost the taxpayers tens of thousands of $$. He's been suspended several times.
You tell me. I'm not doing your research for you. Also, what difference does it make. Their popping up like mushrooms in So Mpls.
I stand corrected. I've never hear of Koscielski's or the tee shirt. They must have sold about 5 of them.Wrong.
On Chicago Avenue across the street from the Midtown Global Market, stands a row of single-story brick buildings. One, which is now a Somali grocery store, was Koscielski’s Guns and Ammo from 1995-2016. The year it opened, Mark Koscielski began selling a t-shirt out of the shop. Its words, dripping blood red, said, “Murderapolis: City of Wakes 1995.”
Across the country, violent crime had fallen after peaking in 1991, but Minneapolis saw 97 homicides in 1995, the most of any year before or since. The Baltimore Sun, the Washington Post and the New York Times all highlighted Koscielski’s t-shirt in their coverage of Minneapolis, and the moniker stuck.
Will Cooley Q&A: What the Murderapolis years can teach us about today's rise in violent crime • Minnesota Reformer
Memorials of the so-called Murderapolis years when violent crime hit its 1990s era peak are scattered across the city. In the courtyard outside the Hennepin County Government Center stands “Phoenix Rising,” an abstract sculpture made in 1996 from melted guns. Several blocks away is an unassuming...
I can only think of one business that was destroyed near Nokomis; the Speedway on Cedar.
Just in. People get murdered in big cities. Every single one of them. In most cases it’s a 2-3 mile radius unfortunately. St Louis, KC, Detroit, Minneapolis, guess what? Des Moines as well. It’s been that way forever. If you’re not looking for trouble I’m going to guess 99% of you are going to be ok. These once a month threads about our “shithole” cities are just ridiculous. You freaking Republicans can go move to Pella or wherever you want to go to hide from the big bad world.
Well, I've been to Minneapolis, that puts me above you when it comes to credibility on the issue. I'm sorry you got so triggered by a push piece created by a far right think tank.
I'm sorry you saw that black person that one time and got scared. He rides the green and the blue, and goes past the airport 5 days a week during morning and evening rush. You seem extra triggered. Maybe you should just white knuckle it from Anoka to Fridley.
Like I said, do your own research. They are public records. And if you don't get back to me (and I'm confident you won't) I will consider it throwing water on your criticism.
You brought up 'ravaged by crime' and 'government assistance'.
They just love to call any city a shithole. It’s what they do. It’s their boogeyman.
Those are considered specifics when for asshats like him.
Don't let your pets run loose if you really care about them in Minneapolis.
If you didn’t look and act like a skinny, entitled little phag you wouldn’t have a problem.
Of course new building permits would increase half of the freaking city was burnt to the ground by the BLM Looters.
Trying to claim that Minneapolis isn't ravaged by crime is like trying to claim the sun doesn't rise in the morning. I brought up "government assistance" in a discussion related to the random "apartment buildings" that you have continuously refused to specifically identify. What are the names and addresses of the "apartment buildings" that you are putting foward as an illustration of the organic revival of a thriving downtown area?
They hate the truth. Also they might be whacking it to Che Guevara.
