Re: Public Transit News / Current Events (MN only)
One possibility is to arrest the people who are smoking crack on the train. Ten years ago, people were not smoking crack on the train in the middle of the day, due to the enforcement of rules regarding smoking crack on the train. Sometime after that, people (?) decided that we should allow people to...

Re: Public Transit News / Current Events (MN only)
Yes, which is why it’s frustrating to see people with email jobs denying that conditions on the train have deteriorated badly.

Re: 2023-24 Minnesota Legislature
Other than infrastructure, a lot of the things that seem like good ideas to spend money on might not work out great in practice with 2% unemployment. Does anyone have any idea if there are a bunch of surprises in Northern Lights Express? Is it half of it through a swamp no one could have known about...

Re: Downtown Minneapolis - News & General Topics
Doesn't the City own the giant parking ramp under the building? County property records still list MCDA as the owner of the property. Apparently the whole property, but some of the downtown parcels are weird. https://gis.hennepin.us/Property?C=478416.1360929212,4979935.917830835&L=8&T=road&a...

Re: Uptown-LynLake-Wedge - News & General Topics
Not breaking news, but pretty crazy how completely dead Lake and Hennepin was last night on what’s generally one of the better drinking nights of the year. A surreal scene. There are half a million people in this city and about 50 of them appeared to be at the remaining three Uptown bars. Y’xll need...

Re: Metropolitan Council
What percentage of voters do you think could name their county commissioner? 10%? No more offices people vote for based on how the name sounds please.

Re: Root District - Farmers Market / Royalston Station
I wonder long those will stick around? Some are condos, but not outside the realm of possibility someone might buy one or two of the apartment buildings and tear them down to build a larger building. It's not even the building heights, some of those buildings look to be like 50 units on a half block...

Does it feel at all weird to still be saying stuff like that at this point in the game, or not really?

Has there been any in depth explanation/reporting about what’s actually going on with that?

Alternatively, we could try recriminalizing crime.

Re: Green Line Extension - Southwest LRT
Looking forward to being gaslit when the ridership numbers are 80% below projections rather than 50% below projections and they blame the whole 80% on work from home.

Re: Finding/Exploring COW Packets
I’ve got what must be over a thousand pictures of various renderings and whatnot in my phone camera roll from the tweets I used to do about new projects, and I can’t quite bring myself to delete them but it also feels like it would take forever to save and organize them…

Re: Downtown Minneapolis - News & General Topics
I’m moving into the Crossings across the street next month (for the Dagwood’s access) and thought the giant cavernous underground parking garage was a little odd compared to what you see in newer construction. Wonder if they did them at the same time or something?

Re: North Loop Neighborhood
They’d have to move that very funny new sign/sculpture.That all looks smart. Any chance this opens up the corner for a small scale development?
