There were a lot of Scandinavian settlers in MSP and Minnesota. Throw in a bunch of Germans and Scots and you have a population of money-conscious.

If that number is used then KC could take in St. Joe and Lincoln, NE. All the other cities could inflate their populations too. Stupid!
Where did that chart come from?
My oldest child, who is trans, wants to move to the Twin Cities in the next couple of years. It's a much more supportive political environment than either Kansas or Missouri will be able to provide at any time in the near future, unless there's some huge progressive electoral upset in both states out of nowhere.msmith011 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 11:20 am Culturally and politically, MSP is a highly progressive metro. People are more money conscious and and environmentally friendly than the average American. I'd also like to point out they have many major companies headquartered on or near the light rail line, including U.S. Bank, Target, Ameriprise, etc. Tons of corporate travel.
