climate change and those with money investing large. Like they are right now in the high end condos which you see in neighborhoods that would not normally have that rent or ownership price rate. Just look at East Hennepin. I suspect also that most of that money has Conservative ties also so they gain clout in City politics and decision making while throwing history and residents out the window.
Nothing more satisfying for a conservative then to turn a blue state red. gag*.
Places that I used to live in Mpls. in those areas I could no longer afford now. And in thinking of possibly moving back home (somewhere) I need to find a good Co-op. I went to the original first ones in the City. Showing my age.....
But even the Co-op in st. Cloud as well in Brainerd are not cheap at all.
