  • It's something many cities are trying to figure out in a post-pandemic world. How to bring people back downtown? A new study says downtown Minneapolis has had one of the worst post-pandemic recoveries in the nation.

      crime in downtown is not out of control... sorry the statistics in 2022/23 vs 2019 don't show this to be the case. BUT employers havent forced workers back and that is the main problem.

    "crime is a misrepresentation" so why do all my police officer friends tell me that if I'm downtown I should be using my conceal and carry permit and be armed at all times.
    If Minneapolis is so safe then why are law enforcement shortages so high for the city.
    Minneapolis will never be as safe as it was before the riots of 2020
    If crime is a misrepresentation then why do businesses keep closing downtown because of crime?

      You are right, but nothing will change until a major leadership overhaul occurs with the politicians who have been and are currently in charge. That will never happen though because of the mindset of the majority of people who actually get out and vote. Denying the reality of things by the media and politicians doesn't help either by always saying "civil unrest " instead of calling it rioting and looting, which it actually is and was. IF things ever were to even appear to start to change politically, all the millennial cry babies who only know how to throw fits and break things when they don't get there way would be back on the streets rioting and looting and disrupting. The media would be right there supporting them with there spin on it too. Never going to change.

    Downtown Mpls has been imploding for years...ever since the Mpls City Council gave "Block-E" back to the street urchins.
    The crime rate rose and two of the largest tenants got their people out of there. The shell is whats left.

    Overbuilt commercial space. Outrageous residential costs. Crime concerns. Different consumer shopping trends. All have hurt Downtown Minneapolis. Downtown St.Paul is even worse. Best options are to give tax breaks to larger employers and develop some truly affordable apartment buildings along the edge of downtown. It's going to be tough.
