excuse me while I ramble my random thoughts

@natehoodstp It would have to come from a mandate to the state probably. I don’t think it’s the first time a city has been forcefully annexed in this country.

[Tim @timboman33]

@natehoodstp The selling point is removing overlapping bureaucracies into one more centrally operated. Would in theory make it more cost efficient for everyone involved.

In practice it would be concerning to add more to Saint Paul’s plate when we don’t do our current work load efficiently

[Tim @timboman33]

@natehoodstp @StarTribune Felt like cities doing this without the suburbs was just asking for small businesses to move to the suburbs… prices aren’t that higher in the city to offset the added labor expenses.

Minimum wage should be addressed on a county or state level.

[Tim @timboman33]

@jacob_mauren @lydiakauppi I think the bigger focus should be closing the minimum wage gap between suburbs and the urban core first.

@SteveSubera He may have a particular syndrome of that great northern city…

@lydiakauppi Get off the phone I need to download a CD on limewire must sound like complete gibberish to kids these days

Guess who won a playoff series?!

@natehoodstp Seems like the ripple effect for economic impact for more housing will go further in downtown than anywhere else

[Tim @timboman33]

@natehoodstp Idk what the Minnesota equivalent is. Don’t be a packer and try to put oversized luggage in the overhead bin on a plane?

They will write books someday about how the owners crashed this franchise into the ground

@natehoodstp Feels like this train left the station already… not sure how any local government can have an impact on issues like corporate consolidation.

[Tim @timboman33]

@natehoodstp Add to this the eviction moratorium and I don’t see why investors would put money in Saint Paul over Minneapolis or the suburbs. We need to find a way to overcome the reputational damage we’ve had as a city the last couple years.

@SteveSubera Also have it shoot fire. Would certainly deter loitering in the area…

Two birds one corner saved…

[Tim @timboman33]

@natehoodstp Very tone deaf comment… to reduce the problems of the Midway to that misses a much larger picture

[Tim @timboman33]

@natehoodstp @JGeorge49 Losing businesses because of the state teachers retirement system of Ohio is the most Saint Paul thing of all time…

[Tim @timboman33]

@natehoodstp Meanwhile Saint Paul hasn’t needed to update its picture on 30 years…
