Re: Minnesota Governor Election 2022

I cant see what his core voter block would be that Walz isnt already representing. Walz is the type of DFL candidate that center right suburban/urban voters like. The last poll in Dec 2021 had him with a 60% approval rating in the suburbs that Biden had similar approval ratings at the time

Re: Seven Points Uptown (Calhoun Square)

Losing the pedestrian road is a sad loss as those are very rare. I am glad to see north ponds committed to investing the property in mostly positive ways. If they did get Lunds to move it would bring a lot of life to that corner as well as free up another site for future developments. Over all this ...

Re: 800 Washington Av S (Guthrie ramp liner) - AECOM / City of Lakes Community Land Trust

I know the city has been promoting pop up retail along Nicollet mall but im not sure if the city is actually put up money for these. I think it would be worth it from the city. Retail space was already struggling before all that 2020 brought it. If not I think you will see more push back on the amou...

Re: Minnesota Redistricting 2022

I think Walz is in very good shape at this point. His last approval number in late 2021 was 55% so hes the odds on favorite to win again. https://www.minnpost.com/community-voices/2021/12/walz-strong-in-recent-polls-which-also-show-gop-opportunities/ In a way he has been able to not get dragged down...

Re: Elliot Park

Very sad to see a great older building go. This could and should have been saved many times over. While im sure it will lead to positive investment in the area vs an abandoned building it never should have gotten this way!
