I'd like to add on housing and people living near their jobs. I think that the
public perception is the city is a dangerous place to live. i know when
someone asks where i live and i say "North Minneaoplis" they instantly think,
most people, that I live in a war zone. They ask if I have had anything stolen
yet or have I seen anyone get shot yet. That isn't the case where I live.
Same with where I grew up on the East side. I don't know the reasons or
solutions for that perception but breaking down that wall might go a long way
to getting new families to reinvest in the city. The housing is old but there
are a lot of great properties out there that in my opinion have a heck of a lot
more character and care in construction than a suburban development. That, in
turn, may eliminate an excuse employers can user for not locating in St. Paul.

gear when i leave my house.
