Interesting column, and one paragraph stood out: There are other political differences [between Minneapolis and St. Paul].
For example, the Neighborhood Revitalization Program in Minneapolis has turned the city into a maze of little neighborhood fiefdoms, each clamoring for dollars for local proj ects. Seldom do the activists in these organizations see the city as a whole. [GDL] Although Grow understandably uses columnistic color to make the point, I think it is a good point--the fragmentation that results through the promotion of NRP and its neighborhood system. It's the downside to NRP, and I'd like to see more "city-wide" thinking from neighborhood groups in the future.
