Re: 2015 Transportation Funding Proposals

Because of my career, I won't be able to stay in Minneapolis long term regardless. But if the Republicans get their way, I definitely won't be letting state pride hold me back and will be pushing to get to New York within 2-3 years as opposed to just 'within a decade.' This plan is a disaster for th...

Re: City Center

Bought by a Los Angeles investment group? I can see why City Center caught their attention, it reminds them of LA.

Re: Excelsior General Development

Scott Richards is my new suburban hero.
“The interesting thing is parking is never free,” Richards said. “People think free parking is their God-given suburban right but that’s not necessarily the case. Someone has to provide that land, pave it and maintain it.”

Re: Southwest LRT (Green Line Extension)

Seconded on the somewhat-enclosed spaces. The Green Line can be so bitterly cold and some of the heaters are already not working.

Re: Brunsfield Place - (915 Washington Avenue North)

The guy who owns Corner Coffee also owns The Beat in Uptown, so I wouldn't definitively say anything Minneapolis is really out of their influence.

Re: Mall of America - Bloomington

Considering American Dream in New Jersey had to be bailed out (and still hasn't even opened) it's probably a terrible idea for anyone to be considering building a brand new mall in the US, let alone one bigger than MoA.

Re: Downtown Office Market

Re: Dubai

They were probably hinging on the idea that billionaires would visit Dubai and become so entranced by everything that they move a major corporation's headquarters there so they can work and play in the city forever. And billionaires owning private jets never occurred to anyone.

Re: Video Games

The industry side of it is completely useless and broken without mods, as you pretty much cannot run a profitable freight line in the vanilla game. The industries definitely feel like they were an afterthought to the developers. It's also not very apparently how they work in the first place, I had ...

Re: Video Games

I think the depth will come as both the developers continue to iron out the bugs and the modding community takes off. Though from what I gather, some of the issues run deeper in the code than can be fixed with just a mod, and hopefully the developers take the criticism they receive and put it toward...

Re: Video Games

Has anyone here tried Train-Fever? I picked it up when it was 60% off on Steam. It's got some issues to work out, but if your computer can handle it, it's a nice modern successor to Transport Tycoon.

Re: Public Transit News and Happenings

Maybe soon they'll even replace the ads on the bus/train itself. I can't wait for the Denham's Dentifrice sing-along.
