IMBY: I'm inclined to agree with what you said! My original thought was the street-car transit line was in my opinion "money not well spent"! But maybe I'm wrong.... but the fact remains without an increase of jobs in the city... the city, than the city will have very little ability to grow, thus making it very difficult to pay for these amenities (LRT, street cars, parks ect.). You have to admit this is a pretty aggressive transit plan and possibly/maybe too expensive for a city the size of Minneapolis. Along with that, the assimilation of many immigrants and the problems both social/fiscal it's caused in the school system. So what's happened over the past 15 years or so is property taxes have increased quite dramatically along with business fees, regulations, ect. I'm sure no expert... just some concerns. Rant over.... LOL!
