Hi Mary, another great video. Between the climate change one and now this one on the election, you have really tapped into the zeitgeist!

Try Venezuela or Cuba

welcome to communist Minnesota.

Very nice. I wish your success in life🙏 🙏 May all beings be happy

Very nice

I might've been spoiled by living on the cusp of Eden Prairie and Chanhassen before moving to Golden Valley. It's not as crazy or chaotic as Minneapolis itself,but there are certainly more peaceful quieter suburbs in the twin cities to live in. I also find that people are obsessed with working on their yards, whether it's mowing or spraying pesticides that make me feel sick. You can smell it in the air, because they spray that poison like it's water (Eden prairie uses way less pesticides or lawn fertilizer junk). The air quality is not as good either as a result of all of that and the amount of construction here too. Therefore, there are times when I go crazy from the alk the constant chaos here. Overall, there is a lot more construction here in Golden Valley than there was in Eden Prairie, like everywhere practically you will see multiple construction sites within a few miles of wandering through Golden Valley on a regular basis, whether someone is cutting down trees in their yard or getting a new roof put on their house, there is overall a lot more construction and choas around here with people constantly working on a home project or in their yards compared to Eden Prairie, Chanhassen, Chaska, or even Maple Grove. You'll notice it if you try to go on a peaceful walk or bike. However, the people are decently nice and there is a ton of cool wildlife around here that I didn't have in Eden Prairie. However, New Hope/Golden Valley area are not that animal friendly (which the wildlife rehabilitation guy was telling me one day. I saw the vehicle with the wildlife rehabilitation number on the van and the guy was checking up on the animals in the park, so I wanted to ask him a few questions to help the animals and sadly this is what he told me). You'll see a lot of road kill sadly. However, I do love seeing the turtles, butterflies, and water fowl life there. : ) and the people who see Me regularly at the stores here in golden valley are very sweet to me, and I've even had a few generous people randomly help me or pay for a 10 dollar purchase I had or something which is swanky too. So there are definitely dandy aspects too.

I am relocating to the twin cities this January. I currently live in southeast texas. I cannot take another catastrophe. I've survived four 500 year floods in the past six years. I can deal with being in blasted by snow as opposed to what we go through on a regular basis here.

you won't hear "You betcha" but you will hear "You bet".

Hi Mary, another great video. It highlights a key reason for our upcoming move to the Twin Cities.

Hello I moved from California to Dallas and I hate it so much!! We moved 2 months ago to Austin and I don’t like it at all . We have commercial properties in Minnesota and I have been talking to my husband to move to Minnesota. I would love to connect with you 🙏 I am a realtor here in Austin

I am actually moving to my new place in Minneapolis this January. So, apparently the universe made this pop up in my algorithm for a reason 😂. I am relocating from Houston, TX to Minnesota. I have always wanted to lesve Texas ever since i was a teenager. So i zeroed in on everything I'd want in a new destination and Minnesota ticked all of my boxes. This is my first big move and will be my last one. So i am expecting to love my new home 😊. I am looking forward to the big winters. I want to see the seasons change. I cannot take the regular occuring natural disasters that are ubiquitous in Houston anymore.

This street was featured on the cover of a magazine, I believe Traditional Home, just before I moved here in 1980. I drove over and checked out the area. I did later meet a couple who lived in one of the houses and was so disappointed that the interior had been gutted and looked like a 1970s apartment. No remnant of its Victorian past remained inside... sheet-rock, vaulted ceiling, wall-to-wall carpet, no character at all.

I'm down in Texas, but have a passel of relatives in Minnetonka/Hopkins. If it was solely my decision, I'd a been up there years ago.

Welcome to MN! Lived her for 66 years and I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. I love the seasons, and the people are so outgoing and friendly. Enjoy the lakes and the trails. They are plentiful.

The only thing is please don't bring your California with you

Born and raised here in Minnesota. Depends on where you live. It’s a beautiful state but I would stay far away from Minneapolis.

We are a little bit in love with this couple. We kept nodding our heads in agreement. Welcome to Minnesota! We are a great place for artists.

What a great video and Matt and Erin did a fantastic job describing MN and CA. They are right about CA, expensive, crowded, high crime rate, transient lifestyle, high density housing everywhere and it is always hot and sunny ad nauseum. It makes me want to move to MN this week! I checked out Erin's website and she does, indeed, have very nice high quality items. In CA, we do not have basements...why are basements even needed in MN?

Absolutely worth the move! 😂 We have been so much happier in MN vs CA, no regrets 3 years later.

Another great video. Thanks Mary!

you had mention that Minnesota has really bad DOT snow removal. that is not true. If you really want to see horrible snow removable go to North Dakota. They don't do nothing.

Thank you for checking out my home town! Everyone is sooo nice, helpful, and just overall awesome.

Hi Mary, another great video. Thanks for the insights!

Hi there! We are a 3 generation family looking for a permanent place to land. Sounds good for us seniors, but what about the adult kids and grand kids?

Love it 🎉

MN is horrible

I'm one of those 19k that left in 2022. If you look closely at that 1% that's leaving, it's your highest earners. When Minnesota exchanges people making over 400k for people making less than 30k there's going to be problems - losing 25k of taxes per tax return leaving is devastating if it continues.

I hope you find this helpful: The correct pronunciation of Wayzata is Why-zeta. The zata or zeta rhymes with feta as in the cheese.

Thanks for another great video and the tips!

Can confirm. All of this!!! ❤😂

I’ve lived in Minnesota all my life my husband and I are prime age about 30 and 33. I completely disagree regarding the dismissal in the difficulty of making friends “it’s just what you put out” is completely false. I have met tons of people in Minnesota with my dogs or othrrrwise and Minnesotas love to extend friendship but then ghost, it will be their idea that you two should hang out, when you fall for the trap and say sure , they always make excuses or never show up. It’s essentially friendship ghosting. To assume that people have issues making friends just because they aren’t being friendly is completely false. Minnesotas love to waste your time and talk to you for years, literally if they see you around say at the gym, but they will never show up if invited. They will literally waste hours trying to talk to you only to not want to take it further. It’s extremely weird.

Wayzata is pronounced ‘y-zetta’ 😊

Life-long Minnesotan, it’s home. But the progressive politics, terrible leadership, high taxes, and crime from the young scholars running our inner cities have ruined the place. My fellow Minnesotans are too dumb to not vote Democrat, so yeah don’t come doncha know

Hey, A lively video🙌! I'm not really sure if it is the best time to ask but, I was wondering if I could help you create a better distribution by working on post-production like better storytelling through Edits, Keywords, think catchy intros and outros, or even some engaging short clips! Would love to chat if you're interested and keep creating good content:)

As homeowners in North Texas, moving to Minnesota in the summer of 2027, this is very informative. Thank you.

Summers + being in a car driving on pothole ridden and cracked streets + around obnoxious pickup trucks + sad flat mostly decrepit buildings + congested (poor city planning) roads/traffic lights Is hell!

We love it!!

"Diverse" is one term for it...... Another term is Human Garbage.

Thanks Mary ❤
