Best Buy is encourage everyone to relocate in Minneapolis

That's odd, tons of people move to WA state because of lot of jobs. Minneapolis/St. Paul's metro area is smaller than Seattle's and the rents here are a little cheaper, but rising due to the fast growth from migration. The milk here in Seattle cost only $2 to $4 per gallon. I think Minneapolis area isn't generating enough jobs to pull lots of people to move there or most people wouldn't want to move there cuz it's way too cold in the winter.

The heavy construction of expensive condos haven't stopped people from moving to Seattle, even they're like $300,000 or up for those condos in downtown Seattle, they've been selling like hotcakes. Most of the buyers are retirees or high paying employees. About 38,000 Californians moved to WA state from April 1, 2005 to April 1, 2006.
 
Sequoias, doesn't the number of Californians moving up there in just the last year alone make you hesitate about moving back down here? LOL!

No one will relocate to Minneapolis. Wanna know why? THE RENT THERE IS FUCKING HIGH!

$800 a month for one fucking little room. And you don't get your own bathroom and shower either! No Kitchenette either! Just one little tiny room!!!

SCREW MINNEAPOLIS!

Where is this, LuciaDisturbed? I'm a real estate agent. Care to back that up? I don't see any high rents and it is typically competitive here than in other parts of the country.

Still very expensive to live in the suburbs even too. If you want a place for about $600 your best bet would be New Brighton, but it's not exactly "suburban Minneapolis". More like a ghetto suburb, if you ask me. I know, cause my sister lived in New Brighton. If you want a place for a little less than $600, I would suggest Saint Cloud, but even their rent is going up already. When I moved to Saint Cloud in 2001 everything was still affordable. But since then everything has shot up and I have been "pushed out of Minnesota" due to the higher costs of everything. That is one of the reasons I moved down to Texas.

And I'm willing to wager that your wages went down because of the "cheaper" rent, huh? Depends where one lives is what the rent is. New Brighton is a Saint Paul suburb and is pretty decent. I grew up in Brooklyn Center and it was good then.

You might want to do a little research before making such broad statements.

From Revenue Canada for 2006:
income taxation:
15.5% from $0 up to $36,378
22% from $36,378 to $72,756
26% from $72,756 to $118,285
29% above $118,285

Check startribune.com. That's the twin cities newspaper.

I know this because I did try to find an affordable apartment in Minneapolis last summer. I spent the whole damn summer looking for an apartment in inner city minneapolis (yes, the ghetto) and the cheapest I could find was those apartments that rent those little tiny rooms for $800 a month without a bathroom, tub, or kitchenette. It was really pathetic.

I gave up and moved to Texas.
 
Yup, my eye popped when I see the rental properties in Austin Texas, DIRTY cheap!!! HUGE and SPACIOUS! My best friend was right!

If you are meaning SSI....nah, I still get the same amount.

New Brighton isn't nearly as decent as where I live now. My sister hated it. She lives in Arkansas now.
 
Minnesota has always been ranked in the top five most livable state in the United States - currently the second most livable state behind New Hampshire.

Minnesota also have some bragging rights with being in the top ten states when it comes to being smart, healthy, etc.

Too bad that the United States is ranked the tenth most livable country in the world. Norway is ranked first and Canada is ranked fifth.

I wouldn't dream leaving the deep South for elsewhere like Minnesota, even if I am offered more money.
