People have been threatening her and calling all sorts of vile names. I'm curious as to when people will realize that this just happens on the Internet. The more prominent one is, the more shit one gets. I know some people like to set up a mental picture of "oh my God look at that *people who ...

Reminder that leaded-gasoline, not any other pet supposition, caused the crime epidemic:

Rbc will be getting a five guys, possibly on the mall

Hype hype hype

As it turns out, we also have curb-cut minimums in the zoning code. Any housing that isn't a SFH must have at least 2 curb cuts per resident.

(not srs)

So when a proposal to raise the gasoline tax in 2008 to help rebuild roads and transit systems was vetoed by the Republican governor at the time, Tim Pawlenty, phone calls from Itasca’s business leaders helped persuade enough Republican legislators to cross the aisle and override the veto. Reminds ...

Metro Transit is considering adjusting its Northstar Commuter Rail Line service and is inviting the public to have a say in the changes.

While I don't know about the "legality" of it (probably not illegal, though idk), Cano should have redacted personal information before posting those online. Spreading an individual's personal information without their consent online is not ok just because it's someone you disagree with. T...

You're trying really hard but the MoA is without question private property in terms of the law. Ideals and "defacto functions" don't count in real life. Trying to act like what is clearly private property is somehow public property is a waste of time and not what this country is about. Th...

http://www.twincities.com/localnews/ci_29270635/twin-cities-light-rail-tragedies-raise-safety-alarms Blah, blah, blah, some stats and stuff, and also the likely cause: Damian Goebel, a spokesman for St. Paul Smart Trips, a transit advocacy group, said the number of recent fatal accidents and serious...

Also, the claim that MOA is a public space because of subsidies is absolutely crazy. Would BLM be allowed to protest on the field during a Vikings or Twins game? I doubt it That comparison isn't the best, I'd say I'm with trigonal on this one. The MoA defacto functions like a public space, despite ...

Gotta wonder how developed the farm fields in Brooklyn Park will be by the time we eventually build Bottineau.

If self-driving cars make cars more pleasant and easier (which they probably will) to use, then that would also stimulate more use and thus congestion.

Any opinions/speculation on how our unusually mild winter weather has/will affect the construction boom? I'd think/hope it'll prolong it by helping the economy and allowing more construction to take place (freeing up labor for more projects and lowering costs). I'm not sure how helpful it would be c...

What’s in a name? One challenge for the district is that nobody knows what to call it Please just don't call it EaDo, or DoEaElPa, or ABCDWTF, I'm sure there's got to be some kind of reasonable name that could be used. "North Loop" and "Lowertown" are great examples to follow, p...

I'd imagine large parts of it would be converted to other uses before it went under.

Someone should tell Hennepin County to stop, before they pull MLS back over the river by offering them $400 million in stadiumbux. #SarcasmNotSarcasm

I *Really* hope Bernie can conclusively and unambiguously address this all at the Debate, because the Media's coverage has been completely technologically illiterate, and has spread a ton of misinformation.

The DNC capitulated after being threatened with legal discovery of their internal communications (given that those would likely be incriminating). Message from DNC: https://twitter.com/NYTnickc/status/678082359363813376 Threat from Weaver (Bernie's campaign manager): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

http://www.npr.org/2015/12/18/460273748/bernie-sanders-campaign-locked-out-of-key-voter-file-after-data-breach According to the lawsuit, every day without the data costs the Sanders' campaign approximately $600,000 in donations. That's a big fundraising number. Apparently the DNC is supposed to give...
