Yep... STLians think this is only happening here. This is a national problem across the country (especially after Covid). Seattle, Portland Oregon are horrible right now. Their downtowns are boarded up and the homeless and crime problems plague those cities far worse than STL.

Agreed.  My employer (who is moving employees out of downtown St. Louis) is also moving some out of downtown Portland.  Although, I hear rave reviews of downtown Charlotte. :/

Those are really steep drops, I would love to read some analysis, do you know if there is anywhere that looks at what has led to the sharp decrease or is this a normal volatility or what is going on?

Extra 300,000 people came to downtown in March that didn’t this last March, between Battlehawks, City SC and other events. April will be another test of this theory with 3 Battlehawks games = 105,000-110,000, 4 City sc games 100,000, USWNT 22,400 and also 12 cardinals games

In today's chutzpah department, developers are hoping to force a 50-story tower into a low-rise neighborhood. According to the developer,  " The City will need to approve the project, and they know it. The proposed project at 2700 Sloat is 100% Code compliant (both city and state), including the base density calculation." Should be interesting.

I actually thought that, but it sure seems legit. Someone put an awful lot of work into schematics etc.

They're not building that thing for $190,000 per unit.  Construction costs in San Francisco are generally above $400/sf.  All-in this thing would cost at least three times more than the $134 million stated in the article.

From wikipedia:
A 2008 poll of editors on Virtualtourist voted the building the second-ugliest building in the world, behind Boston City Hall in the United States.
