jstoesz, I’m not an “ex-skier,” I’m a “current skier” (with appropriate ace bandages and velcro, lol). Snow is very fun to “play in.” It’s NOT fun to navigate thru in daily life.[/quote]

Haha, I am sorry for the warrantless smear. Good, get after it. Because it is nuking out there. You better be heading for baldy at least. Mammoth should have a storm total better measured in building stories than feet.

Eugene, here has my quite research has fetched…

I ditched the MM tracts, because MN just doesn’t have the asian population to support the demographic comparison. So I took a near by Linden hills neighborhood and looked for a comparable in SD. In the NY times demographic link.

http://projects.nytimes.com/census/2010/explorer?ref=us

Mission hills tract 1
median income 112k
88 white
9 hispanic
2 asian
median home price 1 mil
% of household spending more than 30% of their income 52%

Minneapolis tract 106 (south end of lake harriet)
median income 116K
88 white
2 black
1 hispanic
7 asian
median home price 530k
% of household spending more than 30% of their income 35%

I think both neighborhoods are very similar in terms of character, home age and architecture, and proximity to amenities. I have lived very near to both, and if they were the same price, I would be hard press to say which is better. The Minneapolis neighborhood has easier to access recreation and a better community lifestyle, but MH has better weather (for what its worth).

I think the last number is most telling…Mission hills is not full of a bunch of retirees, at least not in comparison to the Minneapolis neighborhood. Its irresponsibility is systemic.

You make snow sound like a bad thing. How can an ex skier make snow sound like a bad thing?

It reminds me of the Benjamin Franklin quote…

“Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”

only I would say,

“Snow is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”

Winter storms are something to savor, preferably with a good wife, a wood stove, and some skis when it calms down.

oh man this is getting deep into the rabbit hole, but I love it. So I just want to get the criteria right. You want a similar neighborhood demographics wise with similar schools API wise to MM? And we are comparing sales prices right?

A note about taxes. I dare you to compare the tax burden of a CA resident to a MN resident. After income tax, sales tax, gas tax…there is no comparison. Just saying, taxes are a bad subject for you.

Now I will spend some time with the NY times link…Its a good thing my wife is in SD still, because I would normally be spending my time with her…now all I have is the internet.
