OPINION: I no longer recognize Minneapolis. I no longer want to live here.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Minneapolis is my home. My happiest memories are here. It’s where I learned to ride a bike, had my first date, received my high school diploma.
But today, I’m too afraid to even walk in my neighborhood by myself.
The ACE Hardware down the street? The one that I used to bike to in the summer? Robbed twice in the past five days.
The Walgreens next to my elementary school? Molotov cocktail thrown into it.
The Lake Harriet Bandshell, where we spent countless Mother’s Days? Homeless encampment popped up next door.
These are the things you don’t read about in the news.
Ten minutes from my house, at 38th and Chicago, there is still an autonomous zone. Police are not allowed to enter. Residents have died because medical authorities couldn’t get through, and carjackers (of which there are MANY) will speed into the zone to escape officer pursuit.

You need to make the smart decision. One of the members on our new Duck Pond site was a life long San Franciscan. He just moved to Coeur d'Alene Idaho. He couldn’t take it anymore. He already loves his newfound freedom. I’m sure you will find places much better than Minneapolis.

No police means paradise.

Coeur d' alene is in the Arctic circle. You'll die if you come within 100 miles. Skin heads everywhere. Stay far away.
