Correct- that is not downtown. Nobody with basic knowledge of Minneapolis would mistake Cedar Riverside for downtown.

What's the solution? I'm sure it's not easy but of a city of it's size comparing to other cities there is a lot of improvement to be made. I can say it starts small and young.
With that being said there are good spots and bad spots.
Some Mpls business owners are upset with the crime and lack of what is being done.
Along with the $15 an hour minimum wage increase business' will raise price of product thus customers paying more.
Then you have Mpls as a very high taxed area.


Will enough good and law abiding people, families, and business stay around with all that (crime, high taxes, having to pay their workers alot more etc)into play? To risk the increasing crime and bad spots to enjoy the good spots?

I feel like Mpls is reaching a tipping point.
Enough good left that if cleaned up it would be okay looking forward.
But it appears that bad and crime is taking that away right now.

It's not what? It's literally right on the other side of the railroad track from the housing projects.

The REAL downtown, not the trendy fringe.

I don't know what difference it makes. Crime in any part of a city will have an effect on the city. And every area deserves comprehensive Law Enforcement.

I wonder if this will have an effect on comprehensive law enforcement?
The money that may be given to former Mpls Cheif. I am guessing it will impact funding that could help the city with fighting crime etc.

Minneapolis will pay ex-chief Janee Harteau 200k to shut up and walk away | City Pages



Minneapolis will pay ex-chief Janee Harteau 200k to shut up and walk away.

If approved, it’s a package far more generous than what was called for in the chief’s employment contract.

Former Minneapolis Police Chief Janee Harteau will receive the most generous severance package in Minneapolis government history, with a total payout of around $200,000, according to a proposed settlement from City Attorney Susan Segal.

The deal also contains a clause, in which the city agrees it won’t disparage the ex-chief, while Harteau promises she won’t be critical of the “mayor, city council members, and department heads.”

In letter dated Aug. 31, Segal says Harteau has agreed “to release the city from all claims” for a two-installment cash payout of almost $183,000, along with 12 months of paid COBRA, medical, and dental benefits.

Those benefits, estimated at $1,000 per month minimum, would bring
