EVERYTHING TO KNOW About Living in Stillwater Minnesota in 2023 | Moving to Stillwater Minnesota
I was trapped there for 8 years. It wasn't the weather, it was the people that made me leave. I've lived in several places in the US and still have friends from every place. Except Minnesota. Provincial, closed minded and geographically arrogant, it's the world's biggest small town. I'm not the only one that feels that way. The last time I went I couldn't believe how trashed it still was from the G. Floyd riots. Downtown used to be the only destination that was interesting, and now it's an absolute slum. I made the mistake of taking the public transportation system (full of freaks and ghetto trash) and got COVID for my trouble. Why are people leaving? It's a depressing, soul sucking, anti-social black hole that rejects newcomers.
I’ve been here for 11 years and I have a love/hate relationship with it. Never really felt welcomed although schools are great. Can’t say I would live here forever, but glad I experienced it, also will be glad to leave. MHO
Thank God I don't live in the twin cities hell no Saint Paul or Minneapolis that's the most dangerous parts we leave hundreds of miles from there
The schools are horrible there. Suburbs is where it’s at. St. Paul is going downhill fast
those who know 💀🍷🗿
The Democrat's always turn the states they rule into dung....
You forgot the death tax in Minnesota, high taxes when you are alive, and then you're taxed when your dead..
Democrats never make living situations better only worse.
We moved from downtown Minni to Central/Southern Indiana and haven’t looked back! We pay under 2k/month and have a nice piece of land with an open concept home that backs up to a nature preserve. There are amazing private schools in the vicinity as well!
There are many beautiful things in Minnesota. Politics ruined it. Born, raised, lived in MN all my life. My neighbors, community, and everything is better in WI. There's a pretension that IQ goes down when you move across the river: I think it's quite the smarter move.
Man. Thank you for this video! I've been in Minnesota my whole life and knew nothing about Wisconsin other than a few years ago I had to drive there on Sundays for beer😅. This video was really helpful especially the price of purchasing larger acreage.
You should look into Dayton. Its the next up and coming city and has 48% growth over 3 years. City went from 7k in 2020 to 11.4k by July 2024. Most data shows about 10k for 2023 still. Star Tribune did an article on this in 2024. This doesnt even add that a 650 unit apartment complex is set to break ground in 2025 as well as 2 more housing developments totally 145 acres on top of the current developments. I'll add you gotta Google the Dayton border because Dayton shares Maple Grove and Osseo Zip Codes which can make it confusing on which city you actually are in.
Unsafe city to live in. Walk outside your house and you’re prone to getting harassed, robbed, assaulted and not to mention it’s ghetto everywhere you go. Move out if you have the money too.
U know why should move to Wisconsin cuz I'm a realtor in both 😅
Did u tell them how is the most racist state in the USA 🇺🇸
There's nothing great in mn especially for photo shoot spots.
Central High has more problems than any other high school in St. Paul
Minneapolis is a liberal toilet.
HE DIDN'T MENTION THE HOMELESS TENT CITY NEAR DOWNTOWN THAT THE BOY BLUNDER MAYOR CANT GET RID OF. OR, THE PAN HANDLERS DOWNTOWN BOTHERING SHOPPERS & SPORTS FANS. BE SMART MOVE TO CALIFORNIA OR MEXICO !!!!!
YOU SHOULD KNOW MINNEAPOLIS HAS ABOUT 1 MURDER EVERY OTHER DAY. AND, SEVERAL SHOOTINGS . IT'S A DANGEROUS PLACE TO LIVE. HIGH TAXES, POOR PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM AND INSANE CITY COUNCIL. RUN BY LIBERAL DEMOCRATS AND FAILED POLICIES. I KNOW BECAUSE I'VE LIVED IN THIS AREA MOST OF MY LIFE. I AM MOVING OUT OF MN SOON CAN'T STAND WHAT IT'S BECOME.
I WISH people didn’t talk about politics! If you live in the Cities, the conservatives still won’t talk about politics or religion, because we get vilified. But the Liberals around here never stop screaming their politics. It’s a very frustrating how split the state is. Blue in the Twin Cities, Red everywhere else. Woe to those who live in the area that doesn’t match their politics.
They want to live within walking distance to downtown because parking is a nightmare.
That wasn’t my experience at all on two recent weekend trips.
You forgot to mention there are few sidewalks in the suburbs. They are designed to NOT be walked around in.
Minnesota nice? The rest of the nation is point blank rude. So us upper Midwestern'ers have left and came back to have a family. We all do it. So that means my posse of 25 that ive known from elementary school is still around. We literally dont have the time for outsiders. Now that doesnt mean a outsider cant date or manage their way into our circle. Happens all the time. But Minnesota isnt a transient state where 1/2 the population is from elsewhere... Although thats changing via the... newcomers.
The cold is no different than the heat. Lived in Florida, New Mexico and Arizona. The southerners lock themselves up under the umbrella of the A/C from March until at least October. Theres really no difference. Ill take common sense North over the Southern tier anyday.
I was born on the east side, was raised there, moved to the suburbs of Minneapolis then moved to cottage Grove and spent a lot of time between there and Woodbury. I left Minnesota 3 years ago for very good reasons, crime, high taxes, leftist bull crap. I only go there if I have to because my family all still lives there. Leaving Minnesota was the best decision I ever made for me and my family.
I love the state, but in the recent years, it has become too costly to live on with a fixed retired income with the increase in property tax and HOA costs going through the roof. I chose to move to Wisconsin, just across the state line. I am close enough to Minnesota to enjoy a trip for some weekend fun and recreation, but budget-wise, I had to move. The cost of living with property tax and HOA fees are half of what it was in Minnesota.
Wouldn't chicago be the cultural hub of the Midwest?
People never talk about all the “income restricted” housing. These make it difficult to find affordable housing if you’re working class and make slightly more than their allowed amount. These dominate the safer areas of the cities. So if you’re a working class person like me and on a budget you’re going to be living in a less desirable area with more crime and less amenities. I understand we need affordable housing but can’t they just do a percentage of income? As a single, working class female, I feel overlooked. I want a safe place to live too. If I were a single mother of 4, I’d be fine. But I’m not and trust me, the twin cities isn’t so MN nice unless you’re wealthy or down and out. In between? Lol. You’re nothing
Minnesota's capital of beggers. No Vacancy at any stoplight
The Murder Mystery Company hosts a lot of immersive murder mystery dinner theater shows in Stillwater! Go check it out! Great city.
The DFL Party ...
Excellent Video! I love Woodbury ❤
I like Woodburry. Please do a video on that area. Thanks
Don't do it. This city has turned into garbage. Check outside of the metro if you want to live here, but I wouldn't bother.
That is ridiculous.
We are done in this state. The taxes keep climbing and they are spending it on things that don't matter to this state just call it north California.
If you are upset about "rioting" how about fighting for just world where cops don't kill people?
It sucks for "People of Color.... period... It has a racist police force.. women are easy.. You can't get laid in Minnesota iT'S YOU !!!!.., especially Minneapolis/St Paul, St Cloud, and Duluth.. Minnesota is nice aka superficial, fake ASF🤣I could go on .. But if you're smooth with your game .... this is Heaven..
High property taxs, and another 1.9% fee on purchases in St. Paul. Don't expect the streets to be plowed in the winter.
cringe thumbnail. came here just to dislike
We recently moved to Plymouth and love it!! So many trails 🌳 and the people are very friendly 🙋🏻♀️
This is giving it straight!! Refreshing change.
There are a lot of better places to live, than the Twin Cities. I have lived here for 60 years. High taxs, crime and low temperatures.
(The issues that the big city has) Wow
It is NOT dangerous. Every city has area that are a little worse than others. I live in what would be considered a "bad" area and frankly it is very safe. Saint Paul; has it issues but over all is a terrific place to live.
Car jackings, havng your catalyic converter cut off your truck and muggings, plus medicore restaurants. Yeah, be sure to move here.
that's every modern american city
What a bunch of bs. Lots of over exaggerations to fit his viewpoint. If your going to compare to Wisconsin you should think about Milwaukee not your little bubble in rural wisconsin. As far as "politics" go, Wisconsin is hardly a beacon of sanity. It just sounds like your a connoisseur of your own flatulence with an axe to grind
And they all vote Democrat as they all like everything nice and for free, but the best wellfare is Crow Wing County / Cass County
Well done, great video
Thanks Millisa!
Well done Video...
