I have very few family members in MN. I think some of them should move here. Therefore, I'm compiling a somewhat objective roundup of rationale for making a move to MN/MPLS, in the form of a list of attaboys that might be appealing to my family members:

The Advocate recently named Minneapolis the gayest city in America. That usually suggests all kinds of cultural advantages.
Not one, but three local theatres - the Guthrie, Theatre de la Jeune Lune, and the Children's Theater - have won the Tony Award for Best Regional Theatre.
Let's not forget the fantastic music scene.

One might notice that your list says, "Minneapolis" a lot. Having met your sister-in-law and her husband...what odds would you give them for living in the city proper vs the suburbs.
Political leanings aside, those that value many of the things you note (the arts, bikeability, "coolness") generally fall into a rather predictable "class" of people...
And thus, I challenge someone to find publications bringing out the bons mots for Eden Prairie & Stillwater...
