In reply to Sean Hayford Oleary.

"I realize different folks making somewhat different arguments, but I have to appreciate that in Minneapolis, freeways are a blight and a sacrifice for the region — while for St. Louis Park, they’re a free subsidy that gives back to the city"

Well, the act of building those freeway tracts through the cities around the country was criminally destructive, true. But since the funding source is the same and since those freeways and highways that traverse SLP are delivering a lot more goods and services and shoppers and sports fans and tourists and workers INTO the MPLS I have a hard time seeing how those roads work more as a free subsidy for SLP than they do MPLS? I don't see how the West End is getting a better deal than Down Town for instance.
