I'm 67 years old and have lived in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area since I was 18. I've never been robbed or mugged or carjacked or attacked. I've never had hail damage. My yard has very few mosquitoes. A few come out at dusk and dawn. There are pockets of the twin cities where you have to watch out for your safety. But people who grew up here and complain have sometimes never lived in a more dangerous city, so they're easily shocked if a crime appears on the news here. It's said that everyone in the metro area is within 6 blocks of a park. There are very many parks and lakes. Spring is beautiful. Summer and fall are beautiful. You can stay very warm and cozy in the winter by wearing a coat made for cold weather. Wear a hat, gloves, and boots. If you go outdoors for physical activity, you'll find you'll have to shed some layer of clothing. I get quite warm if I shovel my walk and soon have to remove the coat. It's humorous that everyone associates Minnesota with constant snow and cold. Go ahead and belive that. I love the four seasons here. Affordability depends on your income and where you choose to live. I'm middle income and live alone in my own house.

You are lucky I had my house broken into twice, my garage they cut a hole in the roof to get in, so I left the side door open and replaced the roof with a metal one, so then they ripped out the window twice! I left the door open because there wasn't anything of value. They even tried to steal my neibor's air conditioner from her window while she was sleeping. My brother saw someone going through his car, so he grabbed a rifle and held him at gun point until the police arrived. When the police pulled the man out, my brothers car, the man, was sitting on a sawed-off 12 gauge shot gun, they told him if he hadn't had a rifle that he would probably be dead. This was in the eighties, and it's by far worse now!

I've lived in Minneapolis since 1969 and have given 31,000 Uber and Lyft rides over 6 years all over the Twin Cities area. The suburbs, especially the outer suburbs, give me the creeps. There's a level of conformity and passive-aggressive suspicion and political/social trigger-probing that residents there commonly exhibit against drivers. Also, the only assault I experienced in those 31,000 rides was committed by people in the suburbs. Plenty of other awful behavior by people there, as well.

@@bobbabai "lived I'm Minneapolis since 1969" at least you are upfront about your obvious bias. My statement wasn't a shot towards urban areas, or an endorsement of suburban or rural areas either. It was actually intended as a defense of the majority of Minnesota in general. However, when considering crime statistics, especially violent crime... then aspects such as population density play a very large factor in determining probability of encountering conflict or aggrevated interactions w others. Urban areas having higher statistics cuz the density of ppl are just much higher.. ppl are much closer to others. Urban areas have much more opportunity for interactions to happen. I obviously have no idea of your political preferences, but I'd be fairly confident in assuming pretty liberal or progressive just based upon you stating of living decades in Minneapolis, and due to the way in which you responded to my comment w only the intent to disagree subjectively. One would think as we seemingly both would like to defend Minneapolis in this instancr... you might not look to burn bridges for petty reasons when more productively could be allies towards a mutual larger goal...? Progressives and Democrats tend not to do that for petty or neurotic reasons, just as you did not. 🤷‍♂️

Back then, if someone got mugged, it was by a single person who just wanted their wallet. They didn't get physically hurt. Now, there's roving gangs of teenagers who attack a lone person, stomp on their head until they die or have brain damage. I moved to the suburbs, but the rot is spreading fast. Car jackings in broad daylight, stabbings on the bike path, catalyic converters stolen from people's cars in office parking lots. I called the police because of an aggressive panhandler and they didnt want the address where he was; they only wanted my freakin home address! I'm LEAVING.

I was my Mothers Caregiver here till two years ago when I had to put her in a Nursing Home. First off they talk a real good game about services but the program where they teach you to care for the elderly and then you get paid for it was essentially hidden from me for years due to the stonewalling from her doctors. Placing me in the position of donating my work to Ramsey County for many years. When I finally got some help in the home it was piddly and for 15 minutes to a half hour where they expected I would be able to run out to the grocery store for food. I am not kidding. Then the Condo Association where she was living started gossiping about what a welfare queen I was to be unemployed and also told their Cop Buddies what a piece of trash I was so when I had to call for help if she fell I was treated like an elder abuser. These people who live here think the world of themselves and look for someone to lie about and punish. My Mom is on Hospice now and just tested positive for Covid along with her whole department for Dementia patients. That place is a nightmare where I have been continually sexually harassed for two years by female staff and nobody cares. Even the Director said he wasn’t interested in talking about it. The Twin Cities caters to the lowest sort of people. I am looking forward to leaving as soon as my Mother is gone. There is nothing I will miss about this place. People here mostly all share the same hobby of lying and playing mind games against people to endanger their lives. And I am 100% Scandinavian descent. I cannot wait to leave. I would have never guessed it was this way based on the surface and what these people say about themselves and want to believe they are. Good luck if you move here, you are gonna need it.

54% of days are sunshine on average. 3 months of summer, and 6+ months of winter. Summers are generally pretty nice, just not long enough for my liking. Due to the freezing/thawing and salt, roads take a major beating, and constantly have to be up-kept. So its not abnormal to see major potholes. One thing rarely mentioned is that people are generally overly passive aggressive, personally I honestly found the east coasters directness refreshing once I moved away. The school systems are generally pretty good. While property taxes are not super high, overall taxation is pretty high, and MN is one of the few states to tax social security. One thing MN really has going for it is the park systems, great parks, great bike trails, and beautiful natural resources. The Twin Cities are generally pretty left leaning politically, and unfortunately the local news media has gotten on the same band wagon as the national media has to divide us as a nation. This has caused alot of people to be on edge, caused a large uptick in racial division, as well as division between generations. There is more racial tension there then there ever was before, and its frankly toxic. It wasn't until I moved away that I realized how bad it actually was. With covid and everyone working from home Minneapolis corporate real-estate vacancy rate has sky rocketed, then pile on the riots, Minneapolis was really negatively impacted. Don't take my word for it, go check Minneapolis crime statistics for yourself it kind of tells the story on its own. While Minneapolis is slowly coming back, it is going to take a long time until things get back to the way they were. So just like any place else there are upsides and downsides, you just have to weigh them for yourself to see if the good outweighs the bad.

First, to those commenting about crime. Crime is an issue, but it’s an issue everywhere. If you’re going to claim otherwise, show the data. The plural of anecdote is not data. Now to the meat. Lived here 57 years, so I think I can speak with some level of authority. 1) Is it cold here in the winter? Heck yeah. 2) Are the people passive aggressive? Is MN nice a lie? Yes, there is certainly some truth to the passive aggressive knock, especially if you’re used to East Coast directness. If you define being nice as being polite and even occasionally helpful, then yes people are nice. If you are expecting to become best friends and get an invitation to dinner, then you may be disappointed. A Minnesotan will give you directions to anywhere except their house. 3) Are the taxes high? Yes, but that comes with benefits. We have pretty decent services here and the parks and trails are top notch. Public schools vary. Some are very good. Others struggle. 4) Are the roads bad? Mostly decent, except the winters are hard on the roads and construction season is short. So there are some places and times when the road conditions are frustrating. 5) Are the bugs bad? For the most part, if you live in the metro area, the mosquitoes aren’t too bad. I can be out most nights without wearing repellent. Occasionally if we have a real wet and warm period there can be a bumper crop and I might get chased indoors at night or have to put on repellent, but that doesn’t happen more than maybe a half dozen times a year. However if you’re in rural areas, especially the north woods, it can be pretty buggy. 6) Is real estate (and rent) expensive? It’s all relative. The Twin Cities are still a relative bargain compared to many other metropolitan areas (Chicago, Boston, New York, LA, San Francisco, etc), but that’s not to say it’s as cheap as Pittsburgh or Indianapolis.

If you want the safest city in the USA, move to Honolulu, but good luck finding a place to afford.

We are considered progressive in the Twin Cities, the largest part of the population. It’s not that far to drive to the Twin Cities should you need any of those services. If you want progressive in Minnesota, then you likely should live in the Metro area.

Thank you for the comment. My point is that you're likely not going outside in 110, just like you're not in 20-. Thanks.

Dude you like missed the crime and it was bad when I was there, snow mold,😊 and having to move your car for plowing on even odd days gets it wrong!!! And how many times the plow just completely buried your car. Being up all night having to start your car every 30 minutes when it was 30-40 below zero! I lived in Minnesota for 5 years. And sometimes Minnesota nice can be rude! And I've seen Minnesota's ignore things because their passive aggressive. I've seen him on the bus blatantly ignored children getting abused!

Dude. Be honest. The further you get from Mpls/St. Paul into the suburbs, the better. Way into the suburbs. Mall of America distance. Anoka distance. I would go so far to say Minnetonka difference. If I was thinking about moving there, I would do anything to move as far away from the Minneapolis - St. Paul metropolitan area. Don’t listen to the lies. I doubt that the guy in this video lives in Minneapolis or St. Paul proper. You can live all the way out in Bloomington where MoA is and still use a Minneapolis address with the Bloomington Zip Code and your mail will get to you. TL;DR - Don’t believe the hype. If you don’t like the large cities where you moved from, you will absolutely hate the Minneapolis - St. Paul metropolitan area.

@deekang6244 14 күн бұрын

The Twin Cities metro area includes Anoka, Minnetonka and the surrounding cities. That’s why we call it the Metro area. Or the Twin Cities. We do not consider downtown St. Paul and downtown Minneapolis to be “the Twin Cities”. They are actually quite small in size, the cities proper of Minneapolis and St. Paul. So, when someone from here says they live in the “Twin Cities”, they probably live in the Metro area, including all of the suburbs. Which by the way, is always expanding.

Missing the whole point of Minnesota nice. It is meant to let people know Minnesotans tend to be superficially nice and not tell you what they really think.
