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?
Show my post describing a downtown revival of apartment construction. I'll wait.
(Or am I supposed to show you where I didn't post that? )

Of course new building permits would increase half of the freaking city was burnt to the ground by the BLM Looters.

Did you also know there was a spike in the sale of brooms and shovels?

You think you got me, don't you? Sad.
 
I brought up "government assistance" in a discussion related to the random "apartment buildings" that you have continuously refused to specifically identify.
I don't have to specifically identify them because Brian Fantana already has in a post I replied to.

If you'd've been paying attention you'd already know that.

You bore me. Go away.
 
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.
Haha. Seems I’m quite a few responses behind as Christmas and family happened; but I am laughing so hard at this one - just have to respond.

You should at least google where the trains run before you respond with your stupidity - or did he magically extend both lines? Look - I really don’t care why you are trying to fight so hard for people to think the trains being clean and safe; but just read up a little on it before calling someone a racist. Very typical response though when you know you are wrong or making shit up trying to be right. Next time you are up here, let’s meet at Venn brewing by the 46th street stop. I’ll buy you a beer or 3 and you can admire the station stop. We can even get on and admire the rest of them

Why such a safe stop?

No, I didn’t extend the lines. He lives a short walk from two lines, and uses them both. Being an expert and all it’s weird that I have to point out that possibility to you. He rides one for work, one for shopping / socializing.

Did he buy your Christmas present at the Lite Rail Xmas sale >

 
Just spent nearly 48 hrs in the urban hellhole and the only potential crimes I saw were a couple Nick Mullins throws at US Bank.

Went for a 5 mile walk Christmas morning. Nobody in the extended family seems concerned about the rampant criming and the only time the topic came up was when I awkwardly asked a few questions before dropping it,

Again, it's a big city, there's going to be crime, but it seems pretty much the same as it's always been, I"m personally not gonna go looking for it at 2AM in sections of the city I have no reason to venture to anyway.
 
happen anywhere, right??
it literally happens everywhere.

Do you know how many shots fired calls are reported in a county with any sort of population on a given night. Im not talking like a million, i mean counties with 10K.

Same with porch pirates. Literally every community at Christmas
 
I’ve always heard that it was a beautiful city and very nice both days of the summer.
Lots of lakes and parks and nice people. Did I get the Chamber of Commerce version?
It once was. The Somalian project brought a lot of bad people in. Then Chicago put up billboards saying that there way free housing and food in Minnesota, that brought the finest people from Chicago there. When I lived there years ago, it was such a beautiful place and always felt safe. Now when I visit for work, there's drugs and shootings all the time. It's a real shithole.

It's just like what Orlando has become.

Sounds like edgy, on the scene reporting.

Of course they did, nobody wants to admit they live in a shit hole.
 

Sheriff considering more security efforts after another disturbance​


Pepper spray was used during a clash at the Rice County Fair Saturday night, according to the county sheriff. Multiple law enforcement officers and fair volunteers were assaulted in the disturbance involving primarily teenagers, Sheriff Jesse Thomas said.
Multiple people were detained and released and two were issued misdemeanor citations.
The affray was despite extra efforts to curb what’s become a pattern involving young fair attendees when the fair rides close each year, the sheriff said. And it marred an otherwise positive year for the fair, he said.

“It was a great fair with the exception of a two-hour window Saturday night,” Thomas said

The disturbance started around 10 p.m. in the midway after authorities confronted a suspect about a stolen tip jar. It escalated with 100 or more people involved, most of whom Thomas said appeared to be teenagers from the Somali community.
One person was punched in the face and other officers and fair volunteers were hit or pushed and one fell, according to the sheriff. Fair board member Dave Miller sustained a broken arm, other board members told the Daily News.
Rides shut down and people were escorted out of the midway area.

Shortly after the fight there was a report of possible gunshots in the area of the fair. No evidence of gunshots were found and fireworks also were reported in the area around that time, Thomas said.
Deputies also investigated threats made on social media stemming from Saturday’s incident but deemed them not credible.
A meeting was held Sunday with representatives of the fair board, Sheriff’s Office, and Goldstar Amusements. The ride vendor decided to shut down the rides before dark on Sunday.
The Sheriff’s Office is in charge of fair security and nighttime disturbances have become an annual problem, according to Thomas. In recent years he said they have occurred around the time the rides shut down and involved Somali young people.
That prompted Thomas to hold meetings with Somali community organizations in the lead-up to the fair. Those meetings led to the addition of Somali “liaisons” who worked each night of the fair aiming to help monitor for and break up skirmishes.
Thomas said he intends to meet with fair organizers and community partners in the coming years to consider enacting other measures aimed at preventing fair violence. Shutting down the rides at an earlier time is one possibility.
