While I have nothing against the burbs, I for one would feel very stifled there. I love living in the city, and all that it has to offer. I for one do not much need the burbs, except perhaps Roseville (Rosedale don't cha know)
Maybe we could tax all non-residents for the services they take for granted here in the city? Maybe higher ticket prices for the Orpheum the farther out you live? Eganites could pay double. maybe tolls for people driving through our fair city? How about charging for police and fire protection if you do not reside in Mpls? It wouldn't bother me to pay a toll to drive thru Egan or Minnetonka, especially since I haven't been to either in years. Maybe we charge more to the wealthy burbs that want our poor servant class serving their fast food, but not living in their neighborhoods? Why don't my city leaders do what they said they would in their campaign promises? Jesse, for better or worse, did what he said he would. Now if RT could do so. He managed to back off of the plowing issue. MCDA still exists. I can be a real pessimist and jerk at times, so I ask forgiveness of anyone who gets offended by my comments on here.
