That's why they're called "limousine" liberals. Do as I say, not as I do. Unfortunately this congregation includes some pretty big DFL power brokers so there was no way this was getting stopped in this city. Isn't much more that I can say on this, other than that Westminster built more af...

Apoligies, Tyler. My response was to mattaudio's "Then take your ball and move to Carver" position. Call and response got lost in the tubes of the Internet.

Fishmanpet, not sure what the "unfunny gimmick" is. Please enlighten. . .

Seems like a irreligious statement on your part -- which is ironic, give than Westminster has more SJWs per square foot than all of south Minneapolis. Irreligious or classist? What's your poison (pen)?

Let's agree to disagree. That office building (like many Class B/C) was woefully underutilized. I'd much rather take a "porch" than an abandoned house on the mall. Despite what you may think, Westminster isn't in use only on Sunday mornings.

So suburban sprawl would have been a better result? I'm thoroughly confused as to this line of argument.

Instead, they've ignored the NIMBYs, demolished the ...

You're clearly unfamiliar with the church's plan for this parcel. Your ignorance is showing through in your "comments."

So, I'm still confused. Westminster shouldn't have replaced the affordable housing that they tore down in their neighborhood and shouldn't be engaged in creating new affordable housing in downtown Minneapolis? Seems to me like "workforce housing" is a particular area of interest to downtow...

I'm confused by your argument.
