Interesting that the market value on West Broadway has increased while
the market value on the Nicollet Mall has decreased.  When Target
disposes of this property, I hope the buyer is told that property
taxes are expected double over the next 5-8 years.

The falling value of the Nicollet Mall site should be a major concern
to Minneapolis taxpayers.  When asset values fall, the corresponding
debts don't fall with them.  Minneapolis taxpayers guaranteed payment
of the debts.

In return for NO property tax payments, every taxpayer in Minneapolis
should get free Timberwolves tickets, not just politicians.  (Ditto
for Guthrie Tickets.)
