Sioux Falls City Councilor says people hating Sioux Falls less

@SoDakCampaigns

Sioux Falls City Councilor David Barranco is telling KELOland to day that he’s noticed that people are hating on Sioux Falls less:

After traveling across the state for the past two years, Sioux Falls council member David Barranco said he starting to see the anti-Sioux Falls bias starting to crack.

and..

Barranco said during the prior legislative session, lawmakers and others from rural communities were key in the support of some of the city’s legislative priorities. He gave credit to local Sioux Falls lawmakers, but “it must be noted that we prevailed, not despite rural communities’ efforts, but thanks to them.”

That’s good to know. I’m sure with a bit of effort in the new year, we can all find more things to hate about Sioux Falls.   🙂

  1. Please post the ad of the family living in the bad city in poverty who discover wealth and success in Sioux Falls in less than 6 months. It’s remarkable

  2. Sioux Falls has challenges to be sure. But people love the whole state. I’ve talked to college football fans rooting for both the Jackrabbits and the Coyotes, at least until the final. I’m right there with em. Love South Dakota, east and west, urban and rural, rapid & sf. it’s a beautiful thing.

  3. Sioux Falls lots of people grew up in small towns and now live here. Or they still live in small towns and their kids live here. Or their parents moved here. It’s become a microcosm of the state.

    1. Yes. I’ve said for a long time the SDGOP needs to pay more attention to Sioux Falls. It’s where most of the money and votes are. But, especially if we end up with one of the people who are running for SDGOP Chair, it would not be further from their mind.

      2. What does that have to do with the SF Metro area having 1/5 of the voters, and being the center of commerce in the state?

        As usual, I’m talking about raising money and winning elections, and goofballs are focusing on idiocy.

          2. By your logic, the unemployed with unlimited time to knock on doors should win and the people with careers, families, and responsibilities within their communities should lose. Or maybe you only want personally wealthy to get elected. Either way, you seem to trumpet “free speech” by slamming PP on one hand and discard it in the other opposing political donations.

  5. I’m surprised they found this ‘noteworthy’. This was more of an opinion article. As a side note, the comment “…some outside of Sioux Falls consider its residents “snooty elitists.”” isn’t anything new. It’s decades old. Shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone from SD.

  6. Yeah we’re all snooty elitists until they need health care or access to a large airport or need to go shopping or want to see some entertainment. Then we’re tolerable 🙂

    1. And the rural folk are tolerable only when you are stuffing your face. I just wonder what makes people like you such a narcissist.

      At one time they just wanted you not to talk down to them. Now, they just look at you and shake their head.

    2. Unless you work at the airport or the Pomp Room, Mr. Anonymous, you might take a look at your little self there in the big city and realize just how meaningless you are to the real folks who are not elitist snobs in the town there by the Falls of the Big Sioux.

      PS: The Barbarian was better than the Pomp Room.

  7. As a proud citizen of Sioux Falls, to say Sioux Falls dislike is declining in rural South Dakota needs to get out of town more. Just go to a town bar and say you are from Sioux Fallls. Then go to one and say you are from another town and measure which “hometown” gets a conversation.

    People only like people who they think cares about them. Hate is too strong a word but the dislike is getting more intense.
