Yay! Another “study” about where millennials should be living!
Hope you like long winters. Minneapolis, Minnesota tops the charts of a recent study by Estately that ranked the top 11 cities in America for people who are in their mid-20s to early-30s to move to.
The study took into account average starting salary, rental rates, public transit, jobs and affordability. The average starting salary for Millennials in Minneapolis is $43,000 a year, among the highest in the nation. Hot.
The study claims the biggest drawback of living in Minneapolis is the rental market. Minny’s occupancy rate is sky high. So, finding somewhere to live and spend that $43k might be tough. What offset the tight real estate market in Minneapolis was the affordability of food and clothes, parks, lakes, music and arts and a “vibrant scene for food and drink.”
No mention of seven-month winters. Let’s check out the rest of the list:
- Minneapolis, MN
- Houston, TX. Statistically better than Austin.
- Phoenix, AZ. Active nightlife. Tons of tech jobs.
- Detroit, MI. High paying STEM job growth and you can buy a house for the price of a used toaster.
- Cleveland, OH. “Everyone’s a model in Cleveland!”
- Denver, CO. Jobs, lots of young folks and you can walk everywhere.
- Washington, DC. You don’t need a car and food is cheap.
- Raleigh, NC. The most “single” city in America and has had consistent job growth in the last few years.
- Portland, ME. Highest number of small businesses per capita and have you ever been to Maine in the spring and summer?
- Albuquerque, NM. Low cost of living, named top city for millennials by The Atlantic.
- St. Louis, MO. Cheap as hell, “decent-paying jobs,” short commutes and a high concentration of bars.

What do I love? I love happy hour, a good golf tan, and getting moderately drunk during dinner.

“it’s a sight to behold. $1 bottles/2 for 1 $2 drafts/$2 Pints/$2 Wells. All. Day. Long. You can get blacked out drunk on $15”
But you’re still in Wisconsin. I can get drunk for less than that on my deck and I’m still in a real city.
It snowed like 8 inches today.. fuck off Atlanta
Even worse it snowed those 8 inches during morning rush hour commute. But what do you know, we weren’t stranded in our cars for 8+ hours. We must just blow the minds of people in Atlanta of how we do it.
H-town is only option here.
I disagree. Unless you prefer an overpopulated, poorly planned, lava swamp to a mountain range full of beautiful, fit women.

The best part about Minneapolis… is that it’s close to Wisconsin. If you’ve never experienced the small town bar scene in Western Wisconsin, it’s a sight to behold. $1 bottles/2 for 1 $2 drafts/$2 Pints/$2 Wells. All. Day. Long. You can get blacked out drunk on $15.
PS: MN doesn’t sell beer on Sundays, so I guarantee you will find yourself making that drive to Hudson.
And these are the types of people you meet in Wisconsin
Fuck Sconnies

False. But the below IS the kind of stupidity you encounter in MN:
I’ll take that over this:
.
Give it another season, he’ll be over there playing for the Vikings, just like Favre and Greg Jennings, and you shitbirds will gobble up that last place in the division caliber underboob sweat with aplomb.
Very interesting information.
Meh mpls is alright, Fargo, ND however is way cheaper and you don’t have to deal with those pesky cheeseheads. However the weather is unimaginably worse.
It’s also filled with the ugliest pigeon toed women ever whereas Edina is full to the brim of USDA Grade A townies.
Fact Edina/EP/Minnetonka gals A+
Waconia gals A++
You already lost your credibility.
okay, but hey i’m bored at work so yolo…time to be productive? i think not

I just moved to Edina in August. Southdale is crawling with babes at all times.
Fuck yeah. The cities are awesome. SKIUMAH
People live up there?
