Delusional, I used to go to Minneapolis 10-15 times a year for concerts or sporting events and now it's 1 a year, I've been robbed at gun point and have severe ptsd whenever I go back to the point where nothing is worth that feeling

Have theses leaders here actually walked downtown streets?😮

[williamrowlands]

I like the way they blamed all the problems on the "pandemic".

[techhoarder]

What not tell the truth about what really goes on downtown. 🙉🙈🙊

[bobellingson]

Oh yes let's get excited because all the violence is still here.... Lol. 😄

People ARE downtown..yes..criminals. Stores keep closing..that's legit..retail is hurting...but boutique stores aren't going to cut it. Get workers back..that's going to take years. Have extra cops at hot spots at night. Close down ANY club that can't keep their customers safe. Downtown was fun..a bit seedy..but overall was safe...now..with even more people living downtown it can be even better..just don't sugarcoat the facts.

Sure, it's fine during the day, but after sunset? The vibe gets very "dark". How about all these cheerleaders take a walk down first Avenue at 1:00 in the morning?

Like Scott Adams says "Run Away"

i would love for our leader to go for a walk at night around downtown. good luck without your security. i moved from downtown due to how messed up it has become. Nicolet and Hennepin have become a terrible place to walk.

[rapunzelz]

Uh no. Wrong. You cant pay me to go down there.
