If you are young and want city living, hands down Minneapolis. Plymouth is lovely, but is very suburban, spread out, family/kid oriented. It will be difficult to meet people, not much to do outside of parks & kid/family oriented activities. Live close to 394 exits or hwy 55 to reduce commute.

Who/which orgs should More Neighbors be talking to in Falcon Heights? Would love an intro and would be happy to support them in any way we can :) cc @moreneighbors.org

One bright spot: some past OS events were *so* programmed & well attended they lost "open" street feeling. I would have never let 4y-o bike at OS minnehaha or other popular S. Mpls routes -- but we had a blast today at central w/ wide stretches of pavement (many kids on wheels!)

I was very impressed with the number of people attending - *so* *many* kids downtown! My kids had a blast climbing into the various trucks. Staff seemed like they were really enjoying it too. The New Orleans jam band was great. Honestly, it was refreshing: low-key, well-attended, just simple fun.

Nice to meet you today!

*I'd eventually bike on them daily with my kiddos

I worked on advocacy many years ago for OurStreets on these two projects, and manned a tent talking to neighbors about "what could be" -- little did I know I'd bike on them some day daily with my kiddos 🥹

Live in the suburbs & want to help, but not sure how? [email protected] would LOVE to hear from you. We need your voice <3

If this project isn't built, the people that wouldve lived there (guess: wealthier, down-sizing empty-nesters) don't "go away." Instead, they stay where they are (likely large homes they no longer need w/lots of driving/carbon emissions), or keep bidding up prices of existing apts in west suburbs.

Care about reducing our collective Twin Cities carbon footprint? Do you live in the suburbs? Email your state representative and state senator - tell them to support #yestohomes bills in next year's session, and stop individual small cities from holding back our state's progress.

Reading their site briefly - if someone rides off with your bike, the company will reimburse you the full value of the bike? Is that right? If so, I might have to try this!

Once a neighbor, always a neighbor! Hard core past volunteers are welcomed back anytime, even in small one-off ways ;)
