the anti-transit crowd rushes onto the online comments.

Only, it seems that some of them must be from outside of Minnesota or at least outside the Twin Cites, because they talk about not wanting to live in a city but in a suburb where they can have a yard and aren't exposed to gang activity.

Uh...both Minneapolis and St. Paul are largely single-family homes with yards, and what gang activity there is is confined to a few of the poorest neighborhoods. I guess their ideas of city life come from watching Law and Order reruns.
