[TB] Perhaps that explains why the population of Minneapolis increased in the last decade (US Gov't census data). Or is that an "inodus" Maybe it explains the hundreds, make that couple of thousand, housing units underconstruction and planned for downtown Minneapolis. http://www.skywaynews.net/content/current/front/condo_map.pdf Maybe it explains the major office complex, retail and residential development recently announced for the Uptown area. http://www.swjournal.com/articles/2005/01/25/news/news01.txt To add to what was recently added, is currently under construction and was proposed since that article was written for the south of Lake Street part of that area. To repeat an earlier comment, "you can have your own opinion, you can't have your own facts." --- Lee R Eklund <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Jim Mork (Resist America) writes: > > "I hereby inaugurate a Quit Minneapolis Now. > And don't try to partition the 13th Ward into a > separate Republican city,e either.

[TB] As a resident of the 7th ward for what is getting close to a decade, I object to the extraction plan. Why fix what isn't broken (my list of things that don't need to be fixed probably extends well beyond the boundaries of Minneapolis). It should be noted that we don't produce milk (and probably not honey either, although there may be a hive somewhere) in the 7th. Even when the animals were roaming one end of Nicollet Island, that wasn't in the 7th. What may be now: u�to�pi�a n. often Utopia An ideally perfect place, especially in its social, political, and moral aspects. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=utopia What is being suggested (by both Lee and Vicky): u�to�pi�a n. An impractical, idealistic scheme for social and political reform. (same source) I can't think of any better place to live (and work) in this metro area than the 7th Ward of Minneapolis.
