It’s time for another round of fretting about “where all the young people going?”

I’ll let you read the article yourself. My responses?

A) What “young adults” with options *don’t* strike out on their own to establish an identity separate from their parents?

B) Its the economy, stupid. The “health” of MN’s economy is focused on Fortune 500s and Metro tech and high-value service companies. If neither is a kids field, why are they supposed to stay here? The pro sports? The article notes Minnesota already has a surplus of espresso shops, nightclubs, bike paths, and all the other shiny things that attract the young, urban, “creative class”. That’s because Minneapolis is already a great place for the “creative class”. It’s getting worse and worse for the “producer class”.

C) Dear Millennials: you might wanna talk with your marketing department. You are rapidly turning more entitled and overweening than the baby boomers.

That is all.
