Minneapolis /St Paul are great places to work and live. For a major metropolitan area, these cities offer every amenity. No area this size can match what these cities have to offer.
These cities offer a world class university, a dozen smaller colleges/universities that are surpassed by no others. There is a world class zoo, major league sports(baseball, football, basketball, hockey, lacrosse),cultural centers, numerous parks and lakes, an active nightlife, cafes and restaurants of most ethnic groups.
As for crime, yes, it exists; but at no higher a level than any other area of this size (per FBI. I have lived in and around these 2 cities for 40 years and have never been victimized by crime.
I have been to many places in this country and have found no other area to be more friendly.
We raised 2 children, both received a great education in the public school system.It prepared them well for college. In fact, many companies prefer to set up shop here because of the education system and the availability of the educated populace.
