Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the metro area as a whole have been getting a lot of positive press over the past few years.  I figured why not start a thread.

Enjoy your coming decades of economic decline!! Cities like Austin, Nashville, Raleigh and Miami will least racist corrupt cities like Minneapolis and St. Paul in the dust.

Hahahaha.  Do you have any legit sources to back up your ridiculous comment?  For starters, racism exists everywhere my friend and none of the cities / metros you mentioned are free of it. 

As far as the economy of the Twin Cities collapsing is concerned, it's very unlikely.   I'm also confident that it will be decades before, perhaps never that the likes of Austin, Nashville, or Raleigh surpass Minneapolis in terms of economic importance.  As a matter of fact, Minneapolis - St. Paul surpasses them in so many other areas, that it's laughable.  Regarding Miami, well it underperforms for a metro of its size and has plenty glaring issues of its own. 

Nice try though.
