      Lake Wobegon where all the women are strong, the men are handsome and the children are above average. You should stay away from there. Because it’s so perfect that you will ruin it if you move there. I plan on staying away from there. Especially since it is famous for its nonexistent nature. 😬

    Bemidji has a ridiculous crime rate! I remember at one point there was a gang shooting almost every week! There’s also a lot of meth and fentanyl being trafficked there from the cities for distribution because demand is so high! One bust had over a half a pound of fentanyl had enough fentanyl for the entire population, which was 147 grams of pure fentanyl!

    When I grew up in Bloomington in the 70s & 80s, it was so safe that alot of our neighbors didnt even lock the doors @ night ( which was still stupid & my Dad always locked ours ).
    I grew up in East Bloomington 2 decades b4 the Mall of America was built & it was nice.
    However, since the pandemic & a couple of of irresponsibly run large apartment complexes like Blooming Meadows have attracted & kept a multitude if the criminal element there among them, safety ,has gone so far down hill around there that the safest part is West Bloomington which is so much more expensive.
    But also beautiful & a good place to raise a family.

    My parents and I used to live in Bemidji and it was AWFUL! My parents decided that they wanted to build a house up there, and every weekend we had drunk college and high school kids tearing through our property in trucks and throwing stuff at us. My mom also almost got into an insurance fraud accident when multiple vehicles pinned her in just near the Paul Bunyan statue on the lake front.

    I'm surprised you don't have Duluth Minnesota on here. Duluth has a very very large homeless population and an efficiency apartment will cost you at least $800 a month. Quite a lot of the people here live in public housing because the rent and private housing is so high.
    The mayor is trying to advertise Duluth as the San Francisco of the North to get people to move here because the population is dwindling more and more every year.
    They are also trying to make Duluth what they would call a medical destination which means unless you're working in healthcare there really isn't that much here for employment.
    The crime rate here is getting worse and worse every year with more and more drive-by shootings and gang activity. I'm 60 years old and I grew up in Duluth and when I was growing up you could walk all over and not worry about anything now you can't walk around downtown or on the central hillside without worrying about getting mugged.
    I still love it here but they're definitely needs to be some improvement big time because the town I grew up in is going downhill and considering how beautiful it is here that's a very sad situation.

      @cherylhulting1301 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      ​@@Guatemaya1 I live in Minneapolis and have done so for 28 years. I have some thoughts for you.
      Here's the thing. Crime in the city is actually decreasing now, but like any large city, you watch your back. Property crime is a bigger issue than violent crime, but both increase depending on where you live in the city. The neighborhoods of North Minneapolis, Harrison, Phillips and Midtown between Minnesota and St. Paul all have their struggles. I recommend staying away from proximity to Lake Street at night, although going down during the day can be great to access a lot of Latino businesses and culture. In South Minneapolis, the neighborhoods improve after you get into addresses in the 40s. I have lived in neighborhoods like Bryn Mawr, Longfellow, Whittier and Uptown and have not had problems except in Uptown, where I did have a home burglary. My landlord took steps to add safety features to my apartment and I've had no problems since.
      The video narrator is right in that affordable housing is more of an issue here, though she's slightly off on the rental rates. The city has put a lot of energy (too much, in my opinion) into building "luxury" apartments, but you can often still get not just a studio but a 1-bedroom apartment for that $1,500. My monthly rent is a little over $900 for my reasonably spacious 1-bedroom, but I live on the "garden level" in an old brownstone. But still, rent for the upper level 1-bedroom apartments in my building is $1,040 per month for a space around 650-700 square feet. So if you live in Los Angeles, you'll have cheaper rent and much more of a shot at home ownership here. The suburbs offer a range of options too, though the inner ring suburbs really have about the same rental costs as in the Cities. Taxes here are high, but aren't going to be as high as in LA. We do give good public services for that money here though, and services for residents are extensive and good.
      As regards transportation, the highways here are busy and congested if you have a car, but traffic isn't going to be anything like what I remember in California. Public transport is reasonably efficient within the Twin Cities but less extensive and frequent in the suburbs. It's fairly affordable; most trips cost $2.00, and express buses cost $3.00 per trip. Still, if people want to live in suburbs and save money on downtown parking, you can do "Park and Ride," drive to the bus connection in the suburb, park your car and ride in on the express buses, which are often very nice. We also have trains, though not many. Metro Transit is putting more energy into "rapid transit" buses that come frequently and move more quickly because they have slightly fewer stops than conventional buses. I approve of this development, as I prefer the buses to the trains here. They feel safer and are more frequent. The city is also building bus-only lanes, which can really speed up bus travel. The lines run mostly from 5-6 am to 1 am, though popular lines might start even earlier and run until 2 am. Uber and Lyft services are well represented here too. My ex and I gave up our car when we moved here, and I get around pretty well. Where I live, bus frequency is good; buses are often available every 15-20 minutes. Public transport isn't as extensive as in New York or Chicago but will be more extensive than in LA. Minneapolis is also "neighborhood" oriented and is pretty walkable. I chose my current neighborhood because it's good for someone without a car. Within my 5-15 minute walk I have four banks, three grocery stores, restaurants, a bookstore, a movie theater, and a few clubs.
      Regarding connections with people, I'll say that I find most Minneapolitans to be friendly and polite but reserved. They can be a bit passive aggressive. People in Minnesota tend to marry and form their social connections early, so transplants can find it challenging to make friends. But I found friends through work, and there are lots of ways to get involved in the community. We have a lot of Meetup groups here geared towards different interests too. The population of the Cities has grown more diverse in my time, with many contributions coming from the Latino community. I will point out that the city is having more of an issue with homeless folks, though it will be smaller and more localized than what you may have experienced in LA. I hope we can find more solutions to help the homeless.
      The hardest part, I suspect, will be your change in weather. Yep, Minneapolis is cold in winter, which tends to last from late November through March. We dress in layers because winds can be strong here. We have a good number of sun days in the state, though we can also go through a week of gray weather. If you like winter sports, though, there's some skiing here (though it will seem tame compared to California mountains!), and cross country skiing on the lakes is popular. There are places to snowboard too. Annual snow levels are less high than when I moved here; sometimes the snow levels are higher to the south of us and are definitely higher in the north. But that gives you access to resorts throughout the state too.
      Spring is short, usually a rainy Aoril and then with late May comes the summer. Summer in Minneapolis, which runs from May through September, is just gorgeous. It's warm, sunny, and there are so many things to do. I love it. We are starting to have longer autumns, and October and November this year were warmer than usual, with gorgeous colors. If you want to move to having four seasons you will get them here.
      So why live here? You'll find it's much less expensive than California but the state politics as reflected in our local government is pretty liberal too (if you want to get away from liberalism, Minneapolis is not the place for you). I'm sorry you will lose the ocean and big beaches, which I loved in California. But lake culture here is a big deal. Our lakes and park system are extensive and generally well maintained. I live near the Chain of Lakes and all residents have access to what they have to offer, including walking trails, bicycle lanes (Minneapolis is third in the nation regarding services and access for bike riding), swimming, and kayaking. In the summer the parks offer movies and live music too. Like Californians, Minneapolitans love the outdoors and being in green spaces. The city is not a concrete jungle, there's a lot of green space here. This state, like California, is big and beautiful, with a range of terrains, from farmland to forests to mighty Lake Superior. The North Shore is touristy in places but is so gorgeous, with lots of good camping; fishing and hiking. There's still a lot of it I want to see.
      If you like cultural life and the arts, this is a good place to be, like LA. We have movie theaters showing Hollywood and independent films, a lot of music and dance clubs, and we are in the top five cities for dance companies and shows. We're the biggest market for theater in the Midwest after Chicago, and I'll say without equivocation that theater here is very good. Our art museums like the Minneapolis Institute of Art and the Walker Art Center make for very pleasant visits. The Walker Art Center is free on Thursdays and the MIA is always free except for ticketed shows. And if you become a basic member at the MIA (free!), you can see ticketed shows for free too on special member days. We are also gaining more of a reputation as a foodie city, and the options for cuisines here might surprise people with their diversity.
      If you want to continue your education, we have a range of college options, everything from trade schools like Dunwoody College of Technology and community colleges like Metro State University to the University of Minnesota campus. Job growth is usually healthy, with a low unemployment rate (3%) and reasonably diverse types of industries. Options for entertainment and growth may be a bit smaller than in LA but are still quite good for an area of 3 million people. I always say that if you're bored in Minneapolis, you're not trying hard enough.
      So I hope that this offers a more realistic and nuanced view of what it's like to live in Minneapolis. The problem with videos like these is that they concentrate on one or two factors and leave out the larger picture. Plus saying that the crime level is X percent higher than in other parts of America is not a hugely helpful metric, because it takes into account all other places in the US, including those much smaller and with fewer people to make crime happen. A comparison of crime and expenses here to other similar metro areas would be more helpful. But suffice it to say that you're probably not going to get mugged stepping out your door here. 😊
      Good luck making your decision!

    Yeah I live in Bemidji Minnesota and I personally agree putting it at number two. Because I moved here in 2021 and crime has gotten significantly worse. Less than a mile from where I live there’s been two attempted abductions and two sex trafficking rings that was busted and this has happened in the past 2 years. I literally highly suggest no one to move to Bemidji Minnesota because if you think the healthcare is going to be good you are very mistaken. There’s a saying that many nurses like myself that say the main hospital which is called Sanford is a place where patients go to die. I have also had one breaking at my apartment which lucky only a few things were sold and I also had a stocker that lived in my apartment complex and one night he was super drunk and try to get into my apartment.

    I was born in Bemidji and I'm honestly *EXTREMELY* disappointed because of our crime rate. When I was born here, the population was small, and it was very calm and one of the BEST places to live. But in recent years, Bemidji has become too popular. One of the reasons being because of Trump visiting Bemidji once. It's sad because we used to be one of the best places to live, now we are one of the worst because people don't know how to control themselves!

Eagan, MN (The worst place) cops called me "Arab-looking," and stole a bb gun, when I was a kid, and harrassed me many time. Minneapolis/St.Paul is a socialist/commie/progressive (another word for "moral Authoritarians, and soft communist"MN Nice") conformists cities. I have lived in Maplewood and the Eastern Burbs are have gangs. Oh, and don't forget the harsh winters here.
