A recent Star Tribune
story states that the Twin Cities is luring young professionals by offering plenty of opportunity at an affordable living rate.
Census numbers show that "the Twin Cities area is maintaining its position as a top magnet for young professionals," it states.
Minneapolis resident Ryan Cox, 27, who decided to pursue a tech career locally, is quoted saying that "when you look at what [my salary] would get you in San Francisco in comparison to Minneapolis? It was a no-brainer."
Lacey Dunham, 29, who moved to the area from Washington, D.C., this summer, adds,"It just came down to Minneapolis having a really good reputation for all the things that were important to us."
