@@user-px9nx9pc7k If you’d like I can send you a couple links that give public disclosure as it relates to crime rates and demographics, the location of temporary housing facilities. Because there’s some pretty specific and quite strict rules around what licensed professionals can provide for liability reasons (IMO), the info is drawn from actual stats for types or genre’s of crime. Crime rates and the attitudes around them are relegated to a perception. 1 person could think that 2 break ins per year is normal, while the next may think that’s not ok and make it mean that’s not an area for them. What is the be best email to send the links to? If you’d rather not share it on this platform, could you text me directly? 7632214009

@@getitdundad The TCs are dangerous even, in the daytime. I worked there. Security guards offer escorts to employees at certain businesses. Stats mean nothing if the input is skewed. A recent pistol-whipping of a couple during a carjacking, a rash of vicious armed robberies with the chief of MPD describing the events as "horrific." U of M female students being robbed , one having the gun jammed inside her mouth. It is not just crime, it is terrorizing efforts. Many meetings of U of M students and their parents with the U and city officials over the urgent need to lower the violence to students around campus. Open drug use outside the downtown visitor's center was reported in the news. As a professional you may not be able to share info. but a person can research on line from a variety of sources to get a picture of what is really going on. A welfare state is not a safe state. Decent people and businesses are moving out.

​@@user-px9nx9pc7k I'll bet you'd like to live in Kenwood though, wouldn't you!

@@LMJ_Financial from my perception it has seemingly got outta hand in quite a few places. The original reason for HOA’s was to lower costs, share expense, and downtown living has gotten quite a bit more pricey! Thanks so much for watching the video! Do you currently rent in minneapolis?

To add to that, you’re 100% correct about the owning piece. However, I may be able to shed a different perspective and show you some more affordable options over zoom/google meet. 76322-4009

Just because you pay the HOA fees, does not mean that the HOA will uphold rules fairly or at all or maintain the common areas or deal with problems in a timely manner. Dealing now with FSR HOA not addressing tenants who allow their dogs to urinate and defecate on the balcony. One of many ongoing problems.

@@user-px9nx9pc7k have you ever considered buying a traditional home? Sounds like to me that you’ve had a pretty rotten experience with HOA’s… I could assist in setting up a custom search and see what we could find in an area that works for you. Maybe getting perspective what your cost would be monthly owning a single family home might shed a different light on things… Would that be of interest?

@getitdundad I appreciate your thoughts. I'm considering the area for a second home. I'll definitely get in touch when I'm in the area and ready to view properties.

Based on your knowledge of the transit system, or your opinion of the efficacy?

​@@getitdundad ​ A bit of both. You unfairly claim that Minneapolis has limited public transit by comparing it to New York and Chicago, two cities that are much, much bigger and denser than Minneapolis. Then you also compare Minneapolis transit to the entire states of Texas and Florida, which makes no sense, comparing a city to a whole state. While Minneapolis doesn't have a ‘subway’ system, we do have one of the fastest expanding light rail and bus rapid transit systems (known as METRO) in the country. This system can definitely get you places in a few minutes. I’m glad you mentioned that our normal bus system is great, but am perplexed why METRO wasn’t mentioned? Also, the Northstar train unfortunately does not go all the way to St. Cloud, you have to transfer to a bus in Big Lake. You also say that driving is required to get around Minneapolis, when in my experience, you can get by just fine with a bike and transit. I am confused why transit is a con here and not a pro. Sure, it's not nyc level, but it's definitely not a con to living here. Regarding the other points in the video, there is no mention of all the bike infrastructure and bike culture at all in the video either. Minneapolis was named the best big city for biking in the country, and that's not said at all? Speaking of culture, what about the Hmong and Somali diasporas in Minneapolis? K-12 public education is good but not great, especially after this last round of budget cuts, you're better off sending your kids to a private or suburban school district instead. The high property taxes are worth it in my opinion, especially for the parks you mentioned and the good city services. Mosquitoes are not a Minneapolis exclusive thing. Traffic, post-covid, is not bad at all. Worst, worst case you get a 15 minute delay in your journey. Also, I like the narrow streets personally, much easier to walk across with kids than a wide street, especially with all the sidewalks everywhere. I appreciate that you are making videos about the pros/cons of living in places, but you have a duty as a content creator to maintain factuality and accuracy in the information you disseminate, especially when talking about the ‘truth’. I’ve subscribed and look forward to your future videos! -Minneapolis resident

I WOULD LOVE to do a split screen interview with you!!! 76332214009 Your wordsa are well thought out. Respectful and intraspective. You are correct you DO have to transfer to a bus in Big Lake. I remember after the crash all the buzz about big lake becoming a major hub for those commuting for College stuff and the bummer it was for it to stop there. However, keep giving me the grace that you afforded me in your reply. I myself am learning as I go, and it's alot to cram into 20 minutes. I could go on for hours and unfortunately some of the stuff gets missed. You have my word I will keep striving to improve toward the future. Thanks again for your support!. And, if you'd like to talk real estate my preverbial door is ALWAYS open to you.

There's a couple new projects that are a bit more reasonable, but it depends on the floor and the offered amenities. If its on the skyway, they do tend to be quite a bit more pricey on the monthly dues. When are you looking to lock down a condo? And is it between San Fran and Minneapolis/saint paul? 7632214009

@patmcdonald766 Thanks again for engaging with my content!!! Is there a specific part of downtown you are looking in? 7632214009 (for a faster response).

Greatly disappointed by FirstService Residential's performance as my HOA. Fees paid. Rules not upheld. Common grounds not kept up.

@@user-px9nx9pc7k uggh so sorry to hear you’re having that experience with your HOA… Have you considered attempting to join the board yet? There’s potential to impact things from another angle in that scenario?

@dalestark9505 - Sexton is ownership with management to handle the rentals. Same with Carlisle.... There's one accross the street from sexton thats rental/private ownership blended. Do you want me to dig in deeper? @dalestark9505 Wanna tour a few with me??? Shoot me a text or call 7632214009

Oh, and Thanks for sharing what you did..... They take alot of work, however fun they are. It's a massive time investment and your feedback makes it worth while!!!

OH MY GOSH!!!! Hey lady!!!! So sorry for the pathetic delay in responding to you!!!! Shoot me a call or text lady!!!! 7632214009 📨Email: hiltonhometeam@gmail.com calendly.com/hiltonhometeam

You're not wrong for questioning it. I did for a long time and it still seems that the market continues to buy cabinets manufactured outta cheaper feeling/seeing materials... What would you have done? Do you have a favorite cabinet maker? 7632214009

It seems as if you watched all the way through... Thanks for doing that... Whats the next city that you think I should do? And, if you live in an area that you think sucks, how can I help to get you where you'd wanna go? 7632214009

calendly.com/hiltonhometeam Hit me up I'd love to know a pizza place that you like best. I feel like I've been everywhere for pizza in the twin cities and abroad.

@@getitdundad well, when i suggested my favorites to a woman i worked with from mineapolis, she dismissed them as "blue collar pizza" and she liked luces lol, but for me i would say savoys pizza, in st paul, on white bear avenue, and for sausage pizza, i would say mamas pizza in st paul on rice street. Warning, it may be "blue collar" pizza!

@@getitdundad I'm out of the cities, moved to a small town pop.1000 in Wisconsin, to take care of parents, who arent doing well, healthwise, so not much to say about small towns. Its quiet, peaceful, not much goes on, the cost of things are high because the grocery stores are small, prettymuch no restaurants, so I cant think of a city for you. Thanks for the reply. Have a good one.

Keesler AFB IN THE HOUSE!!!!! Please excuse the delay in reply, I do my best to reply same day, and this summer I've been super distracted with life... I AM SOOOO GLAD that you liked the video!!! Thanks so much for subscribing!!! More to come... If you don't mind could we do a zoom together or potentially chat over the phone? And, is there any immediate questions that you have about purchasing a home in MN/WI? 7632214009
