It matters to a lot of people when bullets fly and people get murdered and it’s near a major attraction where we expect people to congregate.

It would be one think if it was a tourist killed "just steps away" from the Dome, but it wasn't. It was someone killed by someone they intimately knew inside of their house which happened to be across the street from the Dome.
It's just a small piece of the puzzle that makes STL look way worse than it is.
It doesn't matter to me because it's a domestic dispute and it doesn't impact public safety so long as it is a domestic dispute. Nor should it matter to the media or the general public because- say it with me- it was a domestic dispute. Domestic disputes are not controllable. They can happen anywhere and at anytime, they have always happened and always will. It's not gang violence, it's not a speeding car, it's not a spree killer. If one happens across the street from the Dome, that's called luck of the draw. Literally nothing can be done to stop it short of tearing down the houses.Debaliviere91 wrote: ↑Jan 03, 2025It matters to a lot of people when bullets fly and people get murdered and it’s near a major attraction where we expect people to congregate.

With limited funds and Preservation Square already in a a re-do-a-rama (they're working on the phase fronting 14th St. now), I'm not sure really what options there are for public housing in the area. And I believe the public housing in Columbus Square is all rather new-ish. And there really isn't any Carr Square housing along Tucker or 14th; the area is mostly barren and the housing there is more to the west and walled off from downtown.delmar2debaliviere2downtown wrote: ↑Jan 10, 2025We got rid of the gas station. That hasn’t helped as much as I thought it would. There’s so many blocks of problem properties. I’m not sure what the next step is. Relocate the public housing? Peabody type redo? Pry properties from Northside and TIF the heck out of it again for private development?
I always thought that was a 3rd party website and not directly administered by the City.chris fuller wrote: ↑Jan 22, 2025Is the STL city crime tracker site down? http://www.stlmpdcfs.com/
Have not been able to access it for numerous days.
Thank You
I always wish they had kept the log longer. What gives?
