Set up a way for them to have access to $30K into an escrow account that they can submit receipts and invoices for home repairs... takes a lot of the city labor costs out of it - and I bet we'd see an easy way to have a ton of homes fixed up quickly!dbInSouthCity wrote: ↑Oct 19, 2023We also have 20,000 vacant homes in various states of disrepair....i bet if you give these immigrants $30,000 and the keys they'll take care of the rest.

I don't agree with giving non-citizens $30k to fix up homes if those opportunities aren't being extended to American citizens from those neighborhoods.

So the Census bureau leaves out data regarding undocumented people from its estimates?dbInSouthCity wrote: ↑Oct 19, 2023chicago is shrinking on paper but i dont think it is in reality. it has A LOT of other undocument persons that make their own way to family there....same thing with California.JaneJacobsGhost wrote: ↑Oct 18, 2023Caves in south city.goat314 wrote: ↑Oct 18, 2023So where are we going to house these people? In the city or county? The population is definitely needed, but I'm just curious where they'd be housed.
The population is also definitely needed in Chicago. Which is shrinking at a much faster rate than StL
I find it hard to believe they’d leave a hole that big in their work.
I don't think Census estimates leave out undocumented folks but I don't think Census estimates in general are that reliable. They're often 10-20% off the decennial census count.

^ it doesn’t leave them out but the margin of error is very high.
We do with the NS program, city spends $30-40k to get the building upright and lets anyone guy it on the cheap to finish it up

These people are illegal immigrants, they are not allowed to hold jobs.
Had to laugh about this. The overwhelming majority of undocumented immigrants work, and many of them have more than one job.southcitygent wrote: ↑Oct 21, 2023These people are illegal immigrants, they are not allowed to hold jobs.

I mean sure, we'd have corn, wheat, and soybeans but practically no fruits or vegetables.

It’s disappointing that this has to be cast as “St. Louis, in desperate need of warm bodies, eager to absorb Chicago migrants”.
St Louis has an incredibly welcoming spirit and can point to countless immigrant and refugee resettlement success stories. Our agencies and communities are stepping up to offer help because it’s the right thing to do - but that’s not an interesting story I guess.
Where are Detroit, Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Indy in offering to help Chicago? Nowhere to be found.
We could just as easily cast this as “Wealthy global alpha city unable to prevent migrants from freezing to death as it boils over with racist infighting, eager to share the load with brotherly neighbor to the south.”
Oh well.

Embarrassing.
Glad to hear that they acknowledge that negative externalities exist at least.

Yeah, like when has St. Charles County ever tried to be a good neighbor to STL?

When I think of St. Charles, my first and last thought is of tacos on corn tortillas.

St. Charles would not be a thing without St. Louis.
Whenever people talk about west county being just as bad as St. Charles when it comes to threads about new Chesterfield developments, I should point them to this. There IS a huge difference between west county and the chuckers.
