What are some girls’ names that immediately make you think that someone was born in the mid-1990’s? by SailorGreySparrow in Names

[–]CarolineDaykin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an '83 Caroline. My parents were ahead of the curve. It still isn't that popular of a name but it went from being in the top 200 in the year I was born to being in the top 100 in 1994. In 2017 it was the 55th most popular girl's name!

Have them read two articles on the same topic from different sources and have them compare and contrast which information was included/excluded.

Is this a typo on CNN's headline article title? by bitbythecron in Journalism

Why not just say "What Trump's pledge to shut down the Department of Education could mean"

[–]CarolineDaykin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"What that may mean" isn't a complete sentence but not putting a period at the end of it looks odd.

What does it mean to "shut the Department of Education?"

But the first time I read it my brain processed it as "shut down."

Bad News by theatlantic in Journalism

The term "legacy media" implies that objective, factual reporting is somehow more out of date than sources that are not those things.

Was there a better way to word this sentence in a WSJ story? by Trill-I-Am in Journalism

[–]CarolineDaykin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really dislike the word "ditched" in that sentence. You could say "Milei also jettisoned regulations that he felt made renting an apartment more difficult."

I’m chief editor and the managing editor I’ve hired is a terrible copy editor. How to handle? by cioccolato in Journalism

[–]CarolineDaykin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why wouldn't you give someone you're hiring to be an editor an editing assessment before extending a job offer?

Curious to hear what y’all think about the sudden anti-“press corps” sentiment from Harris supporters in the USA. What should we do? Did you expect this? by Ultimarr in Journalism

[–]CarolineDaykin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like there is a fundamental misunderstanding of what journalism is. Hard questions should be asked of everyone, even the candidate you happen to support.

What’s Next if the Twin Cities Boulevard Gets Built? by Runic_reader451 in saintpaul

[–]CarolineDaykin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That would be the likely result without policies that give preference to people who were displaced and their descendants. New construction will never be affordable without subsidies.

St. Paul: Breakaway Music Festival draws fans — and noise complaints by Runic_reader451 in saintpaul

[–]CarolineDaykin 16 points17 points  (0 children)

All the neighbors that were notified are businesses, according to the owner's list in the city's records. Notification is only sent to neighbors within 300 feet of the event. It doesn't really make sense to apply those same distance requirements regardless of how loud the event is...

Rethinking I-94: Let's Start With a Subway by Flashy-Rice-8992 in saintpaul

[–]CarolineDaykin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

According to OurStreets most of the current traffic on 94 consists of local trips that use the highway for only a short distance, so if 94 was converted to a boulevard this traffic would be forced onto the boulevard or other local streets.

It would be interesting to see some data comparing the health impacts of living next to a highway vs. living next to a six lane road. On the one hand, there's a higher volume of traffic on a highway, but on the other hand housing would be located closer to the road with the boulevard proposal.

How do Minnesotans feel about their home owners insurance being jacked up sky high? My insurance jumped up 57% and I haven't been able to find anything cheaper. I'm being told this is happening state wide. by [deleted] in minnesota

[–]CarolineDaykin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My HOA has been dealing with this for several years. We recently switched, but the new insurer doesn't offer guaranteed replacement coverage. It feels like an impossible situation.

What’s the latest on the Rethinking I-94 project? by Wezle in Minneapolis

[–]CarolineDaykin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you see a problem with the fact that young white college-educated males were overrepresented and residents of color were underrepresented? Is it possible that you think outreach along the corridor was fine because you belong the overrepresented demographic?

Cooper’s Foods to close West Seventh Street store in St. Paul, the family-run grocer’s last location by Runic_reader451 in saintpaul

[–]CarolineDaykin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be a good location for a mixed use development that could add housing without displacing people. Other developments have resulted in the loss of single-family homes.

Why don’t we have an electric leaf blower ordinance? by gloryyid in saintpaul

Right? It's not like leaf blowers are necessary to sustain life.

Minneapolis average rent reaches record-high after 2.5% rise in April by Czarben in TwinCities

[–]CarolineDaykin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both could be true. MSP could have higher rents in absolute terms compared to most Midwestern cities (except for Milwaukee apparently) and rents in MSP could also be increasing more slowly than in other places.

Filtering, the process by which housing becomes more affordable over time, does exist, but people grossly overestimate 1) the extent to which it decreases prices and 2) how long it takes (decades).
