-----Original Message----- From: Craig Miller Minneapolis Content. I am constantly amazed at how much time is consumed by Mpls citizens, policy makers, in telling suburbanites how to build their cities. What would happen if the numerically superior suburbs took an equal interest in what Mpls is doing in their back yards? Wouldn't that be charming?
[TB] They do. Who do you think wants to demolish houses to expand the Crosstown Highway and I-35W? Who is proposing that those that live and work in Minneapolis (or St. Paul) finance a place for them to go watch a baseball game (aka Twins stadium)? Who fights a rail corridor connecting the downtown core with Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport? Suburban residents. Suburban residents who will hide behind the artificial lines created a century or more ago when it is convenient for this week's goals. The metro area is one big dysfunctional family of communities. Until it learns that each of its parts are interdependent on each of the others we are going to continue to have these absurd battles that get us nowhere. The entire metro area would be better served by eliminating the approximately 100 units of municipal government and replacing it with true elected metro government.
