> Essentially this is just the city of Minneapolis making it harder for people to get to work. This will result in a decrease in companies based in Minneapolis without affecting the overall number of companies in the Metro Area. Ah yes, much like those transit-friendly, job-deficient cities of NYC, Boston, and SF. Cities are cities. They shouldn't be suburbs but bigger, and trying to make them that way just causes problems. Even if what you say is true, a big reason why everyone has to drive is because of policies -- like, say, mandatory parking -- that favor driving at the expensive of transit, biking, and walking. Look at cities where people use transit, and a big part of that is that they usually don't take up enormous swathes of space with parking and huge roads or stroads everywhere. Leaving those policies in place just prolongs the problem.
