The state of downtown Minneapolis 

You have never step foot in Minneapolis in your life.

@@TheEnd-um7yd And I don't plan to. Have fun in your liberal "paradise". Your housing prices are going to get REAL expensive soon.

@@TheEnd-um7ydwhat make you say that? what do you see others skip?

Exactly! Some peeps are best staying away from other humans when they are socially challenged. I usually suggest the place they came from. Under a rock or behind the woodwork. 😂

The media is not honest or competent.

The dead zone. 🤷

Full of Obongo,’s Muslims, hard core dems. , and communists. Wake up.

There is at least 10 serious crimes per day on the lake itasica side 😢😢😢.

Hey....this is what you get from MINDLESSLY voting for Democrats in every election!.... ENJOY it Minneapolis. Cuz it ain't getting fixed! EVER!!

Do not feel sorry Minneapolis they burned their City down for no reason at all just to watch it burn they don't deserve police protection they got what they asked for

Been going there on a weekly basis for over two years now. Have still yet to find any ‘burnt neighborhoods’

​@@TheEnd-um7ydthen you haven't been anywhere near uptown, it's a shit hole now. We get it you were part of the riots.

@@TheEnd-um7yd you are blind then, or staying by St Anthony

But Taylor Swift is coming to town😂😂😂😂

Too be fair part of that is the new prevelance of work from home or hybrid work, who wants spend 2-3 hours a day commuting.

Have you seen the RU-vid documentary The Fall of Minneapolis? How do the same politicians that let the city burn and then lie keep getting re-elected? Worth the almost 2 hour watch time

Like any narcissist the only time they act is when it benefits, or effects them.

Did you witness, as I did, Jacob Frey on his knees at George Floyd's funeral, weeping (seemingly) uncontrollably with involuntary shoulder jerking and convulsing head movements, while reaching toward the casket??? This was not sorrow for a man he knew not. This was grief he felt for his political career that was no doubt, dead. Yet, three years later, Ukrainian suit and tie colors in tow, the re-elected, 'It's only brick and mortar', Mayor that not only watched but, some have said, encouraged violence, stands in front of cameras proclaiming decreasing crime numbers - citing statistics not from 2018 or 2019 - but compared to the last three years of never before seen senseless violence. Metro Transit ridership is down 70%+ from 2019 - even when he states it is "up from last year". You cannot fix a problem that you cannot admit exists. Mayors in Ukraine have started wearing Minneapolis colors in support. Stop ignoring the problems.

I don't know Mayor Frey personally, so he could be a Prince among Men, or he could be a lachrymose hypocrite whose cynicism is matched only by his fake sincerity. As far as I can determine he could be the embodiment of either of these persons -- or somewhere between. "Yet, three years later, Ukrainian suit and tie colors in tow, the re-elected, 'It's only brick and mortar', Mayor that not only watched but, some have said, encouraged violence, stands in front of cameras proclaiming decreasing crime numbers - citing statistics not from 2018 or 2019 - but compared to the last three years of never before seen senseless violence." We know that anyone who describes decreasing criminality in Minneapolis is a bald-faced liar -- as is indicated in this set of crime statistics ("Crime Dashboard for Minneapolis) from 2023 year-to-date... www.minneapolismn.gov/government/government-data/datasource/crime-dashboard/ Of these crime metrics are 7 UP, 3 are down, and 2 are even. It takes a lot of gall to suggest that this means a reduction in crime. "Metro Transit ridership is down 70%+ from 2019 - even when he states it is "up from last year". You cannot fix a problem that you cannot admit exists. Mayors in Ukraine have started wearing Minneapolis colors in support. Stop ignoring the problems." It's a commonplace observation about those drawn to politics that "...there are none so blind as those who choose NOT to see." If you read my comment above & believed that I was a supporter of Mayor Frey, or was suggesting that I do NOT believe that Mpls continues to spiral downward into criminality, violence & lawlessness, then please read my comment again. The BEST that I can say about Mayor Frey is that some of the other mayoral alternatives could have been WORSE.

@@rogerforsberg3910 Your link showed crime rates from the peak, falling...which was the basis of my comment...go to 2019 and compare. Do not Frey me with last year's horrible numbers and state they are decreasing, sir.

@@danlowe8684 The numbers I'm looking at (year-to-date), Mr L, indicate that these crime numbers have all increased: 1/ assault offenses; 2/ burglary/breaking&entering; 3/ destruction/vandalism; 4/ motor vehicle theft; 5/ sex offenses; 6/ stolen property offenses; & 7/ weapon law violoations If you want to go back 3 years -- instead of just one year -- then it's 6 categories increased, 5 categories decreased, one the same. As far as I can determine crime in Mpls -- on the whole -- is still increasing. And, unless you have a different view on crime, an increase crime is generally bad, toxic, harmful & injurious for society. Please note: I'm looking at the NIBRS crime metrics on that URL. As of January 1, 2021, the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) became the national standard for law enforcement crime data reporting in the United States.

😂 I'm stealing that.

and don't feel safe. have to breathe strange, unknown fumes and vapors on the train. guard your valuables!

Cities shouldn't be designed for cars. Have you travelled to Paris London Amsterdam Tokyo ?

Got literal demons looking for trouble. But little do they know….

why is so?

BLM did

Yes I totally 👍💯

It’s a tragic moment for Minnesotans that these riots were allowed to occur😢. The funny thing is that there was little to no riot activity outside of Minneapolis. There’s always been a political divide between MSP and the rest of the state.

COINTELPRO 2.0 did it

Especially the Lake Itasca side😢.

I'm glad you can see through the BS and see the City for what it really is.

Yep.

Bro it’s still safer than almost any big city in the country 💀💀💀

Better if you are a criminal, yea

Pay me then since it since I’d be rich.

just say the n word coward

so let's talk about it. not in a racist or hateful way. nn but I'm willing to listen to your prescription. youre saying mostly blacks are introducing an element of crime into downtown. it's that what you saw? and why is it happening in this area, now, and with this demographic? i haven't checked the stats but i thought Minneapolis was mostly white.

Bingo

This comment alone is proof you never been to Minneapolis.

@@TheEnd-um7ydall of your comments on this video prove YOU have never been to this city. Either that or you are complicit.

I encourage you to research supply driven demand. This concept states that the more supply exists, the greater a demand it creates. Roads are an example of this. The more roads are created, the more drivers will use them. Making the roads bigger will just increase traffic. We need to expand public transit and increase walkability.

BS ! Less traffic- more Crime . It’s the democrat socialist way . And you suckers are swallowing it . The Twin Shitties, were a wonderful place to visit , now it’s like going to a war-zone .

@@voidaccount12345 Wise words. I wish you well in your move.

I hope not. It’s crime ridden more than usual after 2020 riots

Have fun getting mugged.

@@Scream4Cheeseno is isn’t especially compared to years like 2006.

Wear a flak jacket after dark.

I'm from it. It is garbage now

Definitely a strong guarantee

I'm liberal, and live downtown. It's a hell hole. Police won't enforce some laws, because Moriarty doesn't prosecute. A city this size has 16 homeless camps, because people from around the country know they can come and squat here. Carjackings in Minneapolis were nearly 6x that of St. Paul in 2021. There's a reason for that.

RACISM destroyed the city

Well if your complaining about your city come to Portland, the blm affected us 100x more.

I don’t think you even go to downtown lol

It’s been dead for quite awhile. But the passive aggressive fakeness abundantly still remains.

I'm 32 years and and originally from that part of Minnesota for most if the first 16 years of my life and several times since then. I just recently visited St. Paul in July 2021. It never was nice. It's just a shithole.
