It all comes down to the rats
That’s the latest news from Lake Dough-be-Gone. The taxpayer’s dough be gone
What is the ‘other’ common-thread of America’s troubled cities?
Rejoice in the destruction. They’re “fighting for you”, remember?
I live next to the city and I have seen its’ decline. Cedar Riverside is Somalia Part 2. So much of the rest isn’t worth going to.
I think this is a little overstated. Yes, Minneapolis is a debt-lover’s paradise. Yes, it is a welfare haven where the deadbeats prey on the productive. And yes, it’s a pretentious Potemkin village that tries too hard to be taken seriously.
But it is not a crime-ridden hellhole, a sort of frozen Beirut. It is as corrupt as any Dem-run city always is, with gold-plated sports stadiums being built over taxpayer objections, bridges collapsing because of mysterious construction shortcuts, and streets that mountain goats refuse to travel.

North Minneapolis has been crime infested area for at least 3 decades. I visited the area in 2004 to see my uncle’s old house he use to live in in the 1940’s. I use to work in the area in the 1970’s and 80’s.
