Why are the Twin Cities' rules so alike?
Both cities give the owner everything from the building to the main. That includes the stretch under the street and the connection itself.
The difference is in the programs around the rule: Minneapolis offers a tax-bill repair agreement, while St. Paul regulates contractors working in the right-of-way.
