I am in the belief that cities have been deliberately destroyed. Even with all of the incompetence being voted in, it feels more sinister. Leniency on sentencing by judges, decreases in police department budget, raising of taxes on normal people to further fund section 8, and the non stop importation of foreign people to replace the existing demographics. All ideas that any normal person can have enough foresight to realize will result in terrible repercussions, but have been what every politician has pushed on Minnesotans

Which is maintaining scarcity along with mass illegal immigration, ensuring that home prices won't crash for the 20th time. Which is seemingly the point since if they crash there goes a whole lot of retirements and Americans will realize that they live in a country so mismanaged that retirement is largely impossible. Which might trigger revolution.

@@tompilling4154 yea really. have you seen that one gigantic solar farm on the border of CA & NV next to the mountains where they have a giant tower with mirrors on it(?) that reflects the sun in all directions onto the solar panels below? It's creepy, It blinds you as you drive by, & even if you look in that general direction, ruining what would have been a beautiful drive where you can see for miles & miles. (I'm assuming that's how the design works I didn't look it up) I wonder if those solar farms have fire suppression systems, solar panels have been known to catch on fire if they overheat/if they get partially covered by a mess on the surface. And yep wind farms completely ruin the view & disrupt what would have been a perfect picturesque place. I think it would be so much better if, in the future all wind farms & solar had to be built out to sea, 50 miles offshore where it's out of sight from everybody. Kind of like the oil rigs. Floating barges. I don't care how they do it, if a huge faux island of garbage can survive at sea for who knows how long without breaking up, then surely they'd be able to find a way to just send all that crap out to sea where there's nothing for hundreds of miles.

Office tower "cant" be converted due to code regulations. They want bathrooms and kitchens amd windows in all units. They need to just let the market and renters decide what is acceptable. Dormitory style living, differnt unit styles, mix use office in core, residential on perimeters. I believe many people would be willing to pay $800 a month for a 500 sqft apartment with no windows right in the city. People work all day, gonout to eat, and goes home to sleep. Why you need window when you are sleeping

In general I agree with most things you say Aaron, but in this specific case you're objectively wrong. From a guy who lives across the street from the new Four Seasons, here's why: 1) There are already too many Sec. 8 towers in downtown. Specifically the one next door to Gay 90's and the 2 right next to Loring Park. Converting empty commercial towers into residential will require minimum low income housing allotments, and downtown doesn't need any more of "those kind"... 2) Commercial tower owners will never lose money by going the conversion route which will require them to include "low income housing" (tax-funded ghettos.) They've already lost so much, so their pride is going to cost a lot more than a stack of Sec. 8 checks... 3) There is an excess of apartments and condos from the US Bank Stadium all the way north on Washington into The North Loop. Laurel Village is half empty by MCTC, and all the retail spaces have run away from all the influx of crime loitering over from North...... 4) The lightrail and library are unsafe homeless shelters for drug addicts and criminals..... 5) The skyway businesses have all run away from crime and lack of customers..... 6) Last but not least... The condos in the Four Seasons facing North are unsellable. The Four Seasons itself was supposed to be 20 stories taller. Construction was paused because of all the crime, and the owners almost lost the licensing rights to Four Seasons. MPLS PD was immediately refunded then awarded an extra million or 3 USD, construction resumed, and now we have a crown jewel that no one wants to buy... 💪👿💪🎼I will buy this wonderful mourning... I'll touch the sky from Four Seasons you'll see... 🎵Me oh my what a wonderful feeling... my Governor's so blue... I'll make Walz president true... And use the budget surplus to buy!!!!! 🎶

In my very brief early career as a consulting engineer, there are at times issues retrofitting buildings that were designed for a specific purpose. It can be done, but at what cost? The electrical requirements for an office building are much different for a building with apartments. Water and sewer requirements are much less for an office building. It's like the people who bought space to grow legal weed but did not consider there was no electrical capacity nearby to make it work.

Honestly, skyscrapers are pointless anywhere that the land prices are not exorbitantly high. It makes no sense that skyscrapers exist in almost any city besides Manhattan. Very few new skyscrapers have been built in the last 25 years in America. They only built them in the mid to late 1900's because of all the booming growth we had. Basically it was just a trophy, or rather a dick measuring contest for corporations.
