    My adult son and I moved to st paul 5 Years ago. We live in the Como/Dale area. You're right about the crime. I think it's the unaddressed poverty and drug addiction that has people so desperate.
    I LOVE SAINT PAUL & will never go back to Wisc if I can help it. As a state, MN is miles ahead.

      3 million people are too broke and scared of moving? Seems like a poor generalization. I didnt like being close to the metro so I moved in 2020, and lots have ppl have also done so.

    I love the state, but in the recent years, it has become too costly to live on with a fixed retired income with the increase in property tax and HOA costs going through the roof. I chose to move to Wisconsin, just across the state line. I am close enough to Minnesota to enjoy a trip for some weekend fun and recreation, but budget-wise, I had to move. The cost of living with property tax and HOA fees are half of what it was in Minnesota.

      Interesting. Care to say how long ago this was? I find the area between Dale and Lexington north of Como to be a very nice area and definitely seems to be on the upswing from my perspective. I honestly think this area is an undervalued area.
      Although, just like in any big city, there is the chance that you end up living near that ONE house that causes problems for the entire block. Those houses can make a neighborhood for anyone living in the proximity unpleasant.

    I live in south Minneapolis and have worked in St. Paul schools and the schools are toxic and dysfunctional.
    The people in St. Paul are very unfriendly, stand-offish, and only socialize in their own cliques. I dislike St. Paul. The student behaviors are very bad and the district does not do anything to correct it. In fact, they stopped suspending students from school so improve their numbers. The administrators love to denigrate teachers and write them up for the smallest infraction. It is not a healthy environment.
