10 Places in Minnesota You Should Never Move to

When finding a new place to live, knowing which places to avoid is just as important as knowing which ones to consider. Every state has communities that should be avoided, if you value things like safety, the ability to buy a home, decent jobs, and decent schools. In this video, we're looking at 10 communities in Minnesota that I think should be checked off the list of potential places to live.

Are there any other places in Minnesota that you think should be avoided?

[@MidwestDankAlumni]

I've never been there, been to wicked Wisconsin

[@glennso47]

Lake Wobegon where all the women are strong, the men are handsome and the children are above average. You should stay away from there. Because it’s so perfect that you will ruin it if you move there. I plan on staying away from there. Especially since it is famous for its nonexistent nature. 😬

Winona, the white poverty is actually shocking....The post card landscape looks nice, I must admit. But holy broke ass shit balls.

Burnsville

[@elizabethannbender1735]

When I grew up in Bloomington in the 70s & 80s, it was so safe that alot of our neighbors didnt even lock the doors @ night ( which was still stupid & my Dad always locked ours ). I grew up in East Bloomington 2 decades b4 the Mall of America was built & it was nice. However, since the pandemic & a couple of of irresponsibly run large apartment complexes like Blooming Meadows have attracted & kept a multitude if the criminal element there among them, safety ,has gone so far down hill around there that the safest part is West Bloomington which is so much more expensive. But also beautiful & a good place to raise a family. I myself will b buying a house there one day.

I've lived in Bemidji for over 20 years. It's a gorgeous place to live if you're an avid hiker, walker, skier...we are surrounded by parks and public access trails...teeming with lakes, bogs, wildlife, and beautiful boreal forests. I would never trade my 5 acre paradise for any other city or town in America!

[@ronaldsimpson3232]

Bemidji is a tough neighborhood. Met quite a few people from that area, they are a tough city, keep your wits on point while there.

[@mikecooney3379]

Toooo cold...but definitely another great Midwestern video from the best! Hope you had a good Christmas and a wonderful New Year!

Thank you! You too!

minneapolis, St. Cloud, Rochester and Duluth are the WORST places in COMMIESOTA.

[@theproplady]

Waite Park's huge property crime rate is due to it being home to a lot of stores. There are a lot of car break ins. Lots of public housing too, and domestic violence calls.

[@marklangren3142]

Brooklyn Park south of 85th and all of Brooklyn Center, the bad influence has been moving north

[@mummler]

I'm surprised you don't have Duluth Minnesota on here. Duluth has a very very large homeless population and an efficiency apartment will cost you at least $800 a month. Quite a lot of the people here live in public housing because the rent and private housing is so high. The mayor is trying to advertise Duluth as the San Francisco of the North to get people to move here because the population is dwindling more and more every year. They are also trying to make Duluth what they would call a medical destination which means unless you're working in healthcare there really isn't that much here for employment. The crime rate here is getting worse and worse every year with more and more drive-by shootings and gang activity. I'm 60 years old and I grew up in Duluth and when I was growing up you could walk all over and not worry about anything now you can't walk around downtown or on the central hillside without worrying about getting mugged. I still love it here but they're definitely needs to be some improvement big time because the town I grew up in is going downhill and considering how beautiful it is here that's a very sad situation.

[@kristofftaylovoski60]

There are lots of job openings downtown to serve ice cream and coffee...

[@Blackinterceptor999]

San Fransisco sucks like real bad...no city would want to emulate that, its a recipe for disaster...

Great list 👌👍👏 keep up your great work thanks for your videos

Glad you like them!

I have friends that live in Brooklyn Center. She is not wrong. Ever since the white female cop shot the unarmed black guy while claiming she thought it was her taser, things have gotten worse.

[@gdogg1979]

Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center have always been bad

[@elizabethannbender1735]

Crime has been bad there for decades before this incident even.

[@ohcanada8084]

I guarantee the crime rate in BC/BP was much higher in the early 1990s than now.

Not on my list, too cold.

[@collinwinter6210]

I left mn for the same reason you don't want to go. It's to cold. I didn't love it or dislike it other that. It's a nice place.

[@liladdymrtrent117]

Bemidji has a ridiculous crime rate! I remember at one point there was a gang shooting almost every week! There’s also a lot of meth and fentanyl being trafficked there from the cities for distribution because demand is so high! One bust had over a half a pound of fentanyl had enough fentanyl for the entire population, which was 147 grams of pure fentanyl!

[@charlesoliver4132]

I live in Faribault and yes economically it’s difficult if wanting a job within the city, but if willing to travel for work it’s really nice city to live in. 😃👍

[@wvtaco4379]

Makes me not want to move to Twinkie land! Taxes are high too.

[@thecannabiscrone4571]

Taxes are high everywhere now, and it's only going to get worse.

[@lauraveasey4412]

How do Burnsville rate and Inver Grove heights

[@racheldodd3355]

Yeah I live in Bemidji Minnesota and I personally agree putting it at number two. Because I moved here in 2021 and crime has gotten significantly worse. Less than a mile from where I live there’s been two attempted abductions and two sex trafficking rings that was busted and this has happened in the past 2 years. I literally highly suggest no one to move to Bemidji Minnesota because if you think the healthcare is going to be good you are very mistaken. There’s a saying that many nurses like myself that say the main hospital which is called Sanford is a place where patients go to die. I have also had one breaking at my apartment which lucky only a few things were sold and I also had a stocker that lived in my apartment complex and one night he was super drunk and try to get into my apartment.

[@johngalush8790]

I think Minneapollis is fine. Lived here all my life. Never been bothered by anyone. Own a modest home on the SE side. Lots of parks and trails and restaurants, bars. An uptick in crime the last few years for reasons well known. But slowly working these problems out. Please don't move here. Too many effing people already.

[@connorericksonmusic]

I was born in Bemidji and I'm honestly *EXTREMELY* disappointed because of our crime rate. When I was born here, the population was small, and it was very calm and one of the BEST places to live. But in recent years, Bemidji has become too popular. One of the reasons being because of Trump visiting Bemidji once. It's sad because we used to be one of the best places to live, now we are one of the worst because people don't know how to control themselves!

[@Wna-pi1bl]

That was cool I live on lake Bemidji

[@marklangren3142]

Anything south of 94 is a danger zone, to solve the problem wall it and go 3 miles south and only allow people out thru a gate system, yea I know it won't happen but until the people in the bad areas help police on the problem people the problem

[@Vincent-ke5zn]

I'm sure that there are safer cities to live in Minnesota

[@fortis6258]

I have been to every area of MN, and was forced to grow up here, due to a abusive "stepdad," not in my birthplace and to me it is the worst place ever! Eagan, MN (The worst place) cops called me "Arab-looking," and stole a bb gun, when I was a kid, and harrassed me many time. Minneapolis/St.Paul is a socialist/commie/progressive (another word for "moral Authoritarians, and soft communist"MN Nice") conformists cities. I have lived in Maplewood and the Eastern Burbs are have gangs. Oh, and don't forget the harsh winters here. If you want to shop here the MOA and no tax on shoes and clothes, but they get you in other taxes! Twin Cities is a dump and all the Cook County crime is here too.

[@lil_farmer_7731]

Now public schools in faribault suck and I’m from faribault but the crime is not that often

[@minaliku]

my sister goes to faribo too

[@SuzetteKath]

I've got family living in Faribault. My dad's side when they came to America settled in the area.

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

Minneapolis is the worst as I see. However, it's worse than it's eastern neighbor, St. Paul, MN. But hey, at least the western suburbs of the Twin Cities are better.

[@INgirl812]

Minneapolis is my favorite city. Not interested in the boring burbs. Love the city lakes & proximity to entertainment, restaurants & shopping.
