Both are great cities. There's no need to bash one place just to get recognized as a better place to live. Are you really saying anything about New Orleans if you say the other is just awful that's why New Orleans is better? Usually people that bash a city have never been there.
The Minnesota cold winters are negated by the hot summers in Louisiana. If you can't take extreme weather move to California.
New Orleans has a culture of its own, Minneapolis has a melting pot of culture. Food, music, art, theatre both are great.
Sports probably goes to Minnesota since they have teams from all 4 pro leagues.
Both have pros and cons, both are great cities who gives a shite which one is better? Anyone who hates on either is being ignorant.

Quality of life in Minneapolis sucks dude. American culture sucks. That's why New Orleans is so great - it's the closest thing to living in Western Europe.

This is my problem with people who say that New Orleans isn't a great place to live.
I've been to Minneapolis and they manage to combine every single shitty facet of Dallas (suburban sprawl, "$50,000 millionaires", chain restaurants) and Alaska (snow, snow, snow, cold, cold, cold, annoying accents that make you want to blow your head off with a shotgun).

only difference: Dallas chicks are in a different galaxy in terms of trim.

Dallas does have a ton of really hot chicks. I can't spin my way out of that.
I did see 1 or 2 drop dead gorgeous Nordic blondes up in Minneapolis but a ton of them let themselves go and are chubby as hell. Must be the cold. Ugh and then those accents.

Minny has better Viking cuisine.

Minneapolis is probably a better place to raise kids, New Orleans is a more fun town for younger people. The public education system in the state is one of the best and the University of Minnesota is a highly recognized school nationwide. I think its really an apples and oranges comparison.
As a note 3.5 million people live in the metro area so there has to be something good up there.

Emotional attachment to Louisiana makes me pick New Orleans; if I were to remove emotion completely from the equation:
Sports: Minneapolis
Food: New Orleans
Safety: Minneapolis
$: Minneapolis
Chicks: Push. I like fat chicks (favors Minny), but I also like mutts (favors NOLA)
Politics: Minneapolis. Minnesota has proven that, even if it ends up being stupid, it can vote outside the box (Ventura).
History: New Orleans
Aesthetics: New Orleans
This, in my opinion, makes Minneapolis look a bit better overall to the neutral observer. But I'm no neutral observer. I'd rather be a y'at.

To each his own, but why?
And I just can't believe anyone would say the girls in Minny are a push against girls in N.O.

Cao, Nagin, Jindal were all "outside the box" underdogs who were actually credentialed to be elected unlike Ventura and Franken who are - to put it bluntly - jokes. Plus you guys would still have Wellstone pushing to socialize America and hamstring our production if he hadn't bit the dust.

Yeah but this is changing. When the hospitals get approved and we have a new mayor New Orleans will be on as strong an upswing as any city in the nation. New Orleans is clearly trending upward on $$ and schools and we actually have young educated graduates moving here or staying here for the first time in a generation.
