6-story senior housing planned for west end of NW Market St

Thats SEALED, i share “some” of your disdain but “baggies” that’s to much.
It would help if the iPhone wasn’t ALWAYS in the hand or face. Are you”really” that important? NO! your Facebook friends actually aren’t. So go get a GROWLER
and order some Thai take out.

I’m getting up there myself. Years of being spoon fed and ass wiped. No thanks.

I think I would prefer a medically induced covid coma. Doesn’t sound so bad. I hope I am that lucky. They can induce me after my last panang and pilsner.

You should have said ‘essential workers’ Matt. This is the correct application of dogma.

I’ve lived here a long time. Barely anything is the same. When I go out, I find that I am one of the very few older people still going out. (I’m not a senior yet, but usually the oldest guy in the bar.)

A majority of seniors don’t seem to be doing much around here anymore. The rat race isn’t so fun when you are old. And so, while I think the sensitivity is admirable, the reality does not appear to justify this position. It’s easy enough to come back to town once a month for Larsens, or whatever.

The young are being asked to sacrifice a lot for us old graybeard codgers these days. I think it’s only fair to let them have a reasonable chance at a good life. Besides, why not have a fun new chapter in a cheaper place without the big city problems?

I am 71, what are the young sacrificing for me?
I served overseas in the Army in the 60’s what are the young sacrificing for me?
I payed a lifetime of taxes, what are the young sacrificing for me?

“A majority of seniors don’t seem to be doing much around here”
Like you? hang out in a Bar. Most of us have moved on from that.
I think the term is been there done that.

you’re basically a shitty person but i respect this.

i get it, if one doesn’t agree with you they are a “shitty person”
I wear that badge proudly, thank you

We shut the economy down to save you

Well terryj, I am not young, but I will answer the rhetorical question. Are you aware of what they are saying about millenials vs. baby boomers?

[theguardian.com/society/2018/apr/29/millennials-struggling-is-it-fault-of-baby-boomers-intergenerational-fairness]

To top it all off, we have just incurred the largest debt in the history of our society. Who do you think will pay this down?

This was all justified as a humanitarian sacrifice aimed primarily at saving your generation.

Yes “been there, done that.” Exactly my point.

Have you been downtown lately terryj? I guess you could say that it’s only about racism, but I’m not so sure…

This is not what I would have chosen. My preference would be to live small and sustainably in communities of young and old. But that’s not where we are now.

I’m not talking about you individually. I’m happy you are here still holding on with me. I don’t hold you responsible for history’s mistakes either, but the slope is looking slippery. They might stop calling it Washington soon since he was a slave owner.

Regardless, it’s still a nice view across the sound. But also, it’s not the same. I’ve decided that I won’t be Edith Macefield. Just go on down to NW 46th street if you want to see what that future looks like.

Ok thanks myballard. Thanks for the therapy. It was useful. You will be happy to learn I’m leaving forever. It’s not you. It’s me, and why I’m not on fb either. You can now go back to report on duck families and selling ass wipes. haha

Oh puulllleeezzzeee. WTF are the young sacrificing? They don’t know what they don’t know yet. Tell us all here about the things given up by millennials…….I’ll wait. Do they know what FICA is? ” A majority of seniors don’t seem to be doing much around here”. Really pal? Did you interview each 1 then? Perhaps they’ve EARNED their things/lifestyles? All without asking you. But alas, many will begin to move out. 20% of Minneapolis residents are, after the latest riots. The REAL questions is: who/what will be left here.
