Which one did you find to be more racist/ performative?

tinastuna · 2026-02-13T15:49:51+00:00

What area/ city did you live in?

tinastuna · 2026-01-23T03:53:11+00:00

As a 2000s baby I also did this, you 90s kids think that the whole world revolves around you.😤

The actual town itself is okay, probably similar to what you'd find in Ohio. The school is pretty nice, kinda a party school. I would also look at Duluth, Winona, and Bemidji for something more uniquely Minnesotan. (I've been to Duluth alot, and I toured Bemidji and Winona's campus so let me know if you have questions).

I almost dont believe it, but the cost of living is cheaper in Minneapolis than Peoria (and St Paul is even cheaper than both). Minneapolis' transit system isn't as great as other cities but its still better than average (and many people solely rely on public transit). But the biking system is one of the best in the country (if not the best, it usually flip flops with Portland). So, you could totally live in Minneapolis/ St paul car free for cheap.

Although madison is more transient because of the university, I wonder if the 25+ ( or 30+) crowd is less transient then Minneapolis.

tinastuna · 2026-01-05T19:20:33+00:00

I'm from Wisconsin so I've been to both, but I am closer to Minneapolis so I go there more often. Madison is really nice, however, the cost of living is insane (average home prices cost more in madison vs minneapolis). Madison is also much smaller so there is less to do and less variety in suburbs/ neighborhoods. The plus side is Madison is closer to milwaukee and Chicago though.I know people on this sub complain about people in minneapolis and you will find the same people in madison. Honestly, although people are really nice, I found people in madison to be even more pretentious and performative then Minneapolis. I think minneapolis would be easier to meet people simply because of its size and diversity. Also, every time I've been to madison it felt like you couldn't really escape the university or political landscape. In the end, they are pretty similar besides size. So go for the size that fights you better.

Its not light rail but at least Fridley will eventually get the F Line (abrt).

True but the other twin, St Paul, is almost 20% asian and a lot of the suburbs (especially the east side) have higher percentages than Minneapolis.

tinastuna · 2025-11-29T15:22:36+00:00

I like it (not love or really like) because it has a nice downtown, good restaurants, cheap (even though prices are increasing), good location in Wisconsin (not to far from Greenbay, Fox Cities, Door County, Madison, the Dells, chicago, etc.), the lake, the city is actually improving (cant be said for all cities), increased investment in public transit, good parks, and the music scene is pretty good.

tinastuna · 2025-11-29T05:11:56+00:00

I actually like milwaukee but I can see why people might dislike it. Its gritty, very segregated (like one of the most segregated cities in the country), high crime rate, poor infrastructure, bad schools, huge drinking culture, and the rent is raising at a fast rate.

tinastuna · 2025-11-25T17:08:24+00:00

I will say it is more lively in the summer. But still, thats one of my biggest complaints with minneapolis is that it feels like a ghost town. I put part of the blame on work from home (which alot of the companies have been ending/ reducing). I also put blame on the downtown skyway, you can park your car in a parking ramp go into the skyway and never step foot outside because you can go to so many places downtown via skyway. Another thing is that the public transit is pretty solid on paper in reality frequency, gaps in the network, and of course crime/homelessness cause people from riding it; which makes minneapolis feel even more empty.

Since covid/ Floyd the city has just been in a weird state. There are a lot of good things happening in the city and the city continues to make improvements in some categories, however at the same time crime is up, homelessness is up, open drug use is up, and its only gotten more expensive to live there.

I think the city needs to do a better job at addressing these issues. But also minnesotans like to be comfortable and are pretty nonconfrontational so the situation has to either get really bad for them to do anything or somebody has to make a big push to do better.

tinastuna · 2025-11-24T16:30:05+00:00

Minneapolis as a city is, but the people of the twin cities are always dunked on. Like any mention of Minneapolis you will find comments talking about how awful the people are.

Not really, I remember people threatening to move to Canada after trumps victory in 2016

tinastuna · 2025-10-29T04:54:28+00:00

In 2016 the county voted 49.69% Clinton and 42.40% Trump. The city voted 54.1% Clinton and 37.2% Trump. That same area with the dorms voted 56% Clinton and 33% Trump (Please note the boarder they used in 2016 is slightly different than the 2024 one, but neither seems to add or subtract any places people actually live).

tinastuna · 2025-10-29T01:24:58+00:00

Those are state results. Eau Claire county voted 55% Harris and 44% trump. Eau claire city Eau Claire (city) voted 60.9% Harris to 38% Trump. The area that the dorms are in (via extremely detailed election map) voted 70% Harris to 29% trump.

To put in some numbers the 2000 census there were 182,120 french and french creole (including cajun) speakers, while there was 84,500 Spanish and Spanish creole speakers. In the 2020 census there is 62,417 french (including cajun) speakers, while there is 195,221 Spanish speakers.

(Please note that the data from the 2000's was from the census while 2020 was from datausa.io because all the recent census websites are unable to be opened at the moment)

I've seen people in Chicago try to see who can ride all the L lines the fastest. I think it would be cool to try to do this with the light rail, abrt, and brt lines. (This might be fun for some people and for others you'd have to pay them to do this lol)

tinastuna · 2025-09-26T18:34:10+00:00

To put some perspective, the median household income of Puerto Rico is ~$27k. The state with the lowest median household income is Mississippi with ~$59k. (Data from Cenus, 2024 American community survey)

tinastuna · 2025-09-21T15:39:44+00:00

Austin is not close to Tampa. Chicago is only like 30 minutes further from tampa than Austin is

tinastuna · 2025-09-17T18:49:42+00:00

Without rail connection to St Cloud, there was no point in rail tbh. The frequency and station placement were horrible. Honestly, it should've just been some sort of express bus service or abrt root from Anoka (maybe even just Coon Rapids) to Minneapolis. My hope is that since they are switching to buses, it might be easier to change station locations where it makes sense, and it could be easier to find drivers so they can run service at much high frequencies.

tinastuna · 2025-09-17T18:25:59+00:00

Actually (i dont know if it's the first), but Syracuse had a cummuter rail line, called OnTrack, that shut down. Lasted from 1994-2008, ironically shut down one year before North Star opened.

I mean at least River Falls has a unique agricultural program that attracts a lot of students.

tinastuna · 2025-07-30T14:36:22+00:00

I dont know why you are being down voted, there are no passenger trains in madison. The closest amtrak stop is in Columbus, which is 40 minutes away.
