Minneapolis has many problems

Minnesota itself gets more federal funding than most states. (I am not sure why) Therefore people have flocked here from Chicago, Somalia and Mississippi because of such. But it seems easier to get welfare than a professional job or promoted. The schools are overrated and underfunded, (check out the schools academic scores). The University of Minnesota has open enrollment (you can get in with a GED).
Most of the houses in Minneapolis are old, built in the early 1900's. You'll pay at least 200,000. The Weather is cold and so are the people; insecure and pretentious. If you are an intelligent single person of color, with no criminal record and drug free, you will not fit in (lol) I am serious. I moved here because I read that the quality of life here was close to the best. After living here for two years, I have to question the standards of the individuals who conducted these test. Minnesota is not the most progressive place to live. I am moving to a more balanced environment. No offence to the natives of Minnesota. it's time for a positive change.
