...they screw up everything. Dinkytown used to be a pretty cool place. Multiple used bookstores; cool places to eat; cheap bars; coffee shops; independent businesses. Now it seems as though the goal is apartment central. How many places can they knock over and re-build with an over-priced apartment complex? And, judging from the way they look, these won't be inexpensive places for students to live. The only places worth going to there anymore are the bars....not that they are that special, but they are cheap.

Now they want to knock over an entire block of Dinkytown to put in a luxury hotel?! It is going to be laughable when they have these apartments full of students and nowhere for them to hang out. Can you imagine the slogan..."Store your bed and your shit in Dinkytown, but you will have to go elsewhere to do anything."
The worst part about this is that they keep taking out parking. Where are the people who live there going to park? Oh, right, I forgot, they will ride the lightrail. Good thing we now have that handy route to St. Paul. Dumbasses. All of them.
