Minneapolis and St. Paul don't need to be Chicago. It just needs to be itself.

Instead of burying garbage underground, why not pile it up, year after year! After 10-20 years, voila! There's your mountain! 12,000 feet high! From downtown Minneapolis, you could see it, and there'd probably still be snow on the mountain top in June!

The highest point in Berlin is Kreuzberg, which is basically a pile of grown-over WWII rubble, so your idea isn't that outlandish.

No and he or she asks really random questions and seems obsessed with climate and topography.

I personally do, also at lower elevation for slightly warmer temperatures. Look at St. Paul climate data, which is at lower elevation, vs Minneapolis climate data. I wish Minneapolis-St. Paul was lower 200-300 feet in elevation, had an extended Lake Superior to the east, and Minneapolis annexed several 1st ring suburbs to become a larger city. Suburbs like these:

Fridley
Golden Valley
St. Louis Park
Robbinsdale
Richfield
Edina
Brookyln Center
St. Anthony
Columbia Heights
Lauderdale



Basically become more like Chicago.


St. Paul climate data: Climate Saint Paul - Minnesota and Weather averages Saint Paul
Minneapolis climate data (downtown): Climate Minneapolis - Minnesota and Weather averages Minneapolis
What a bizarre thread to start. No, if I wanted to live in Chicago, I'd move to Chicago.

All I know is when I am looking at Minnehaha Falls, all I can think of is "I sure wish it was flatter."

Really? Do you ever wish Minneapolis was a desert? Or a rain forest? I know! Wouldn't it be cool if it was like the surface of the moon? Think how high we could jump!

Los Angeles has a flat waterfall
(from wiki)


I wish we had upside down mountains so that they would be easy to climb
