Thanks for being supportive of the channel My friend! Yur 100% spot on about the social environment in downtown... It has DEFINATELY changed alot since the 80's, and crime was high in the quick search that I did. I do have a counter arguement for you to consider. My overall personal experience of DT socially is that it's light years different and quite frankly ahead of the majority of sanctuary cities and liberal social political environments (which we are a pretty die hard in Minnesota in comparison) much further down the rabbit hole than us. My perception is that we have a pretty awesome downtown climate comparatively. Now, that doesnt speak to the bulls*** that youve encountered and that is pretty sucky that you've had such negative consequences for simply trying to support your customers in DT. What industry do you represent? As it relates to real estate is there any way that I can support you and your endeavors? Additionally, Thank you for caring about my accuracy and pointing out the missed details. When I'm back over there I will shoot some content and mention you in the video! Please feel free to snag some time in my calender to share anything additional that you believe would benefit folks that watch this and future videos!!! Merry Christmas and I wish a prosperous '25!!!!

Thank you for at least saying what most people are silently grumbling about. Are you sincerly interested in lowering the tax basis for your property or were you letting off some steam?

I'll keep those two in mind for the next video, thanks for the tip!

It's a whole different world down here! Where in the burbs? I'm in White Bear lake...

By the looks of your profile pic you invest time into physical fitness. Are you a gym goer, or do you concentrate on eating clean?

You are quite observant. Thanks for noticing my wonder as it relates to building technologies. I've transitioned to all push button codes at my house and it floors me how the level of technology has evolved over the years. Do you have security doors where you live?

Not many folks have paid attention to that miss-step in my words... Did you think it dissapointed or is it a style that you liked?

Hey there @lordbaelish19!!! Do you have children?

DEFINATELY!!!!

Do you prefer more downtown, or is it too busy?

Very possible!

Would love to find out which association and what management company is handling your building!!!

Yeah!!! When I saw it in person I really thought it was a great condo.

That's why I feel searching for homes with your fingertips is a waste of time, efficient, but not the same as seeing it in person and experiencing it. If you're interested in getting out looking let's book a zoom call and connect! Otherwise, feel free to reach out to me directly at: 7632214009

That bathroom looked bad.

thats a tremendous viewpoint!!!! thanks for sharing that

Sounds great I would love that: [email protected]

Our pleasure!

Please excuse the delay! There were some fun lessons learned on this video!!! You are 100% I had never been to the food truck park yet and from what I've read since, it was a "covid times" thing. Many restaurants are actually miss recorded in google depending on the words you use in some cases. And, when I was reviewing my footage I had it in there, My guy AJ and I collaborated on this and I will DEFINATELY be updating this video in the near future. You really paid attention to the video, you've got an eye for detail!!! Have any ideas for restaurants I should be referring in the area?

@@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!

Uggh, and now (in my haste) I realize I DID respond to this message. Please excuse the broken record about getting elected... Would love to chat over the phone if your up for it sometime! 7632214009

@@LuckyCat_Trades 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?

better come with a bed warmer / maid, free groceries and free parking and no other bills of any kind.

@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

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.
