Good Strib story on those schools ratings you see on real estate listings websites. Of course the nonprofits who do the ratings try to get paid from the districts they’re rating. Minneapolis & St. Paul districts can’t/won’t play but some burbs do. www.startribune.com/minnesota-sc... (no paywall)
What’s behind the school ratings on Zillow and other real estate websites?
A home in a highly rated Minnesota school district might fetch $50,000 more. But some say those outside ratings shouldn’t matter so much.

Mndot is about to miss a once in a generation opportunity to improve health, climate resilience, and affordability. All because their methodologies are outdated and deeply DEEPLY flawed.
Please contact your reps. Tonight. Right now if possible.

Some updates and info on the Green Line Extension were provided to the project's Corridor Management Committee last Wednesday.
Notable: the project now claims over $3 billion of development near the line, a figure that exceeds the project cost of $2.8 billion

If I didn’t respond to you, it’s not because I don’t care. It’s because the thought of thinking of a response was a little bit too much when I thought about it, and then I forgot and coming back to it got overwhelming.
