Hence while I won't dispute you saying that the Rust belt seems to extend across the whole north of the States, I'd also say that once you hit the Plains, you've likely reached the Rust Belt's tapered end; I haven't been too many places in the Northwest, but from what I've seen here, I suspect that as far as rust is concerned, places like Milwaukee and Green Bay beat them all hollow.
That wasn't me who said that. That was valsteele. I just said Seattle was a lot more run down in the 80's, before the big tech boom, and that Spokane seems to be stuck in the 70's, growth-wise.
Really .according to Collier international Minneapolis has 29 million square ft. Of office space downtown. Seattle according to Colliers has 55 million.
Minneapolis downtown population is 37,500 . Seattle is 70,000. Minneapolis has 7,000 hotel rooms downtown . Seattle has 15,000 + I include Seattle Center Hotels Seattle also has several hotels under construction.
And as Minneapolis downtown is losing theater complexes , department stores, and malls. Seattle is gaining new department stores new movie theater complexes and adding downtown malls . Minneapolis as it's downtown population grows will gain retail back but it will be neighborhood retail to cater to residents and office workers. The regional destination center has moved to M.O.A. . Ok a couple facts that doesn't make Seattle better it just means it's downtown is bigger me I like living downtown.
Add to that Minneapolis has an education problem exposed by CNN. There is a huge divide in the public education opportunities and achievement of the city's low-income population. Specifically, charter schools are severely segregated and failed nearly every metric against their public counterparts. This is not unique to Minneapolis, but not good news either.

Second of all, what you fail to mention is that this specific charter school that you're referring to (The Mastery School) is segregated because it's structured with programs specifically designed for the empowerment of black children. Their parents are sending these kids to this school voluntarily, so whether or not the school is working for them isn't really up to the Minneapolis Public School District. To insinuate that one problem school means an "education problem" for Minneapolis is laughable, especially considering how fantastic public education is here in comparison to most inner-city schools across the country.
