Well...I wasnt responding to the GDP bickering but the argument by Blackout that MIN city is well ahead of Denver and supported by the numbers i.e. GDP, fed presence etc etc
take away the airport and that would make denver population density 6,100 ppm. i dont think minneapolis has a zip code that is 17,000 ppm but there are areas that i would assume are over 20,000 easily but the zip codes that the areas are in cover much more then the 1 square mile zip code you put down. uptown in minneapolis from hennepin to 35w and from 18the ave to lake street is very dense. minneapolis is clearly not what it once was in terms of population where as denver has more people now then ever. the minneapolis metro can sprawl in any direction it wants so i dont know if minneapolis will ever be at 500,000 again, denver may continue to get denser cause it can only go out so far.

SO....
Oh, well that's very subjective, so I don't agree that it's well ahead. They are pretty even in the big picture actually.
Although I respect your view it is hardly supported by numbers. Denver has the largest number of Federal workers outside D.C. It has a mint, the 10th circuit courthouse, and a higher global city ranking than the MINN city and lets face it, Denver is a more desired destination and this is supported by public opinion any day of the week. In fact, I would venture to say the amount of people who vacation/visit Denver over Minneapolis is substantial.
I think MINN city is cool and is very underrated but come on your claiming it is way ahead of Denver. From our previous conversations I still think you really never got to know the mile high city. Living somewhere for a couple of years hardly qualifies someone as an "expert'. I know locals that know less about the city than I. Anybody who claims to know Denver must know about its federal workers presence. I mean the federal center alone has 6200 ppl from 26 different federal agencies.
Minneapolis tops Denver in many ways, but I admit that I made a mistake by stating MPLS. is in a different league.
Also, who cares about federal workers? Someone mentioned government employees. I played the game and proved her/him wrong.
I'm not ripping on Denver as I love the city (might even move back some day). I'm just saying the Minneapolis area tops Denver in several areas and I don't see Denver catching up anytime soon. I've lived in both long enough to know.
BTW, have you lived anywhere, but Denver?
Don't take this sh*t personal D-town 720. I'm still down for meeting up with any of you Denver reps. next time I'm in town.
And, why do you keep calling Minneapolis "MINN city?"
I don't really agree with the "Denver is much more of a tourist attraction than Minneapolis".
