K6-III

Condos in downtown will not cost you more than a house, they will just be smaller. In Downtown St Paul, in particular, one can get a fantastic value.

On the one hand, the skyways are great. On the other hand, they remove pedestrians from the street level, making for rather dead streetlife. Also, they obstruct the view and make for a poor urban experience.

I'd approach it a little differently. Imagine what one could do if the freeways were covered--(converted to tunnels) and construction could occur on both sides of them...

Good to know that all these amazing projects are coming together! It looks like you aren't the only Minneapolis member...
