Hell yeah Dayton, MN! The past decade for that city has been crazy. They used to be a cornfield town you only knew about if you drove the backroads in/out of Minneapolis to NW exurbs. Now, they have a freeway exit and we’re going to get a state house seat out of them someday soon. They’re much bluer than they should be at this point (only 10k population) but it’s all been 2nd ring suburb McMansion college educated type of growth.
Per Wiki, the population grew 55.5% from 2010-2020, 4671 to 7262 people. In 2023, it’s at 10157, a 39.9% increase in three years. All because we finally finished highway 610 and connected it to the freeway. It’s one of those, “Ah shucks, I love government planning and infrastructure” moments. That city will hopefully be netting Dems thousands of votes someday all because we built a road.
