David Brauer asks: "What is the source of this data" in response to my claim that Minneapolis is the "richest" City in Minnesota.
Vicky Heller answers: The specific numbers I used came from Council Member Dean Zimmerman on one of the Minneapolis Property Rights TV shows shortly before the last election. As David correctly points out, Minneapolis is even RICHER NOW. Our proportionate population has declined to 7.8%, while the MARKET VALUE of our real estate has GROWN TO $22 BILLION! Keep in mind that Minneapolis is just 58.72 square miles. These numbers come from the 2001 City of Minneapolis published "Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports."
