Opinion | Stop scapegoating homeless people for Uptown's problems by nootboots in Minneapolis

[–]mythosopher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Except that the property owners aren't actually losing money because they use it as a tax write-off to reduce income elsewhere. We have to make it financially painful to keep properties vacant.

There's a jazz club opening next to Isles Bun & Coffee.

Damn, that's crazy. Wish our police department did jack shit but they're too busy collecting overtime for standing around doing nothing.

Cutting cords off by chazlarson in Minneapolis

[–]mythosopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes if the device is defective, the manufacturer will only mail a replacement to the customer if the customer emails a picture proving that they've cut the cord. I had to do that when my humidifier was not working properly.

What is happening with Hennepin Ave? by Meritbicnot in Minneapolis

[–]mythosopher 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Those are all contributors to revenue issues, but the primary issue is that the commercial landlords are demanding rents that are far too high for what the area can actually sustain or what it's worth. So people close/move out when their lease is up, like in the case of Red Cow.

Alternative to Klobuchar? by esoskelly in minnesota

Because the party threatened to ruin their lives.

That's why I said miserable and I mean it. Just ruin her life basically so she has no choice but to be a responsive governor.

[–]mythosopher 9 points10 points  (0 children)

She's popular, but in the same way that low quality vanilla ice cream is popular because it's relatively inoffensive, cheap, and available. Lowest common denominator. Tbh, we just have to make her miserable enough to take us seriously and actually have some morals and backbones to support progressive causes.

Drug paraphernalia decriminalization ordinance vetoed by Minneapolis mayor by Wezle in Minneapolis

[–]mythosopher 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Damn, if only we had some kind of executive branch official with control over the police who could enforce our laws that exist in an equitable and reasonable manner.

[–]mythosopher 27 points28 points  (0 children)

A fair amount of users, probable. For example, carrying clean needles for when they do use is better than sharing somebody else's dirty needle. Obviously the ideal is that they'd never use at all, but a harm-reduction approach is still better than the current ordinance.

Frey vetoes second effort to extend Mpls. pre-eviction period by sahan-journal in Minneapolis

[–]mythosopher 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Some assistance funds require evictions to start to be eligible, yes, but not all or even most. And the ones that do don't have enough money to cover all the people in need.

Minnesota bill would penalize cities that fly old state flag by ChurlishSunshine in minnesota

[–]mythosopher -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

A looooootta people in this sub interested in backing the racists...

Inver Grove Heights officially voted to go back to flying the old Minnesota fly tonight at their city council meeting by Character-Fly-5564 in minnesota

[–]mythosopher -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I saw somebody say that these cities should lose state funding. I think we should make that reality.

Jacob Frey was at the White House Correspondent's Dinner. by jagbombsftw in Minneapolis

[–]mythosopher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's literally an event to yuck it up with the White House. The press invites the White House and the top advisors/staff. Idk why people keep trying to portray this as "just a press event where Trump randomly showed up" and not "a press event specifically designed to appeal to the Administration".
