We've seen quite a few people moving from Minneapolis to the Lake of the Ozarks. Obviously it being colder is a factor for some but numerous have mentioned escalating crime. Also sounds like they have some serious immigration issues. 1 of our clients mentioned Minneapolis/St Paul area is one of the top destinations for Immigration in the country, and it is causing some problems. Lots of African Immigrants, mainly Somalia & Ethiopians, drawn their as they have relatives that immigrated there so it has a somewhat established immigrant community. They mentioned large Somalian & Ethiopian community . If I'm an immigrant from Africa I think I would rather be in a warmer weather area of the country, more like home. Cold weather sucks
Violent crime has sharply risen since the pandemic started, leaving many to wonder when and how we can get back to the way things were.
