    Thank you for the nice video. SIU Carbondale alumna here, and I moved back five years ago to take advantage of cheap college town rent. It's easy to get to StL from here just as it was in my undergrad days. Recently, I traveled to Florida from Lambert (or whatever they call it now) and decided to save parking and fuel by parking at Shiloh and riding Metrolink in. It was a little tedious but worth it, and I could see they had lots of nice bike trails on the IL side. Union Station, the basilica, the zoo, and Busch are my favorite places in the area. It was shocking to see how massive Wentzville has become because when I was a late-teen undergrad (showing my age here), it was a little podunky place where we would stop at this little food stand on our way to K.C. Your video was spot-on just as other commenters have said. There are many pluses but also some really scary aspects as well (racial tensions, anyone?), but of course one could say the same about EVERY middle-sized to large U.S. city.

Many Black people, who grew up in the STL and has gotten college degrees or above, have moved out of the area for green pastures, since many businesses in the area of refuse to provide them the high paying opportunities they have qualified for. Instead, those businesses have given those type of jobs to while applicants with much lesser qualifications…

    I'm an outsider who lives in the county, not the city. When I bring visitors to the Central West End, they say it reminds them of Brooklyn, without the people. St. Louis City has roads for a million people, but its population is under 300,000 and shrinking. Still, the St. Louis Region is easy for me to get around in a car, taking about 25% of the time it would take me in Chicago. St. Louis City is basically a sports, music, and theater event place for the County, and a ghetto for many residents. I don't think I will ever see the merger of County and City. The City is like the old girlfriend who rejected your marriage proposal years ago (which the City did), and is now back years later worse for wear, drugged up and diseased, asking if you want to get together again for a good time. I don't think so.

    I am from the Los Angeles area for over 30 years. Lived in the Hollywood and Long Beach off and on. Even parts at the beginning of being gentrified. I have loved L.A from day 1. I always will. Even though it was a rough neighborhood in the late 80s, to it being gentrified in the late 90s/ 2000s and progressed back to kinda of what people think is dangerous now after Covid. I don't see it. I don't see it as bad as it was back in the 80s, and I loved the place then. I love it, but the affordability is crazy. My parents live across the bridge in the Alton area. They moved back there after bringing us kids to California. I could not bear living in a small town again. Wouldn't dream of it. I want to move back to STL after 30 plus years. I need city life, hustle and bustle and I have a kiddo. Would someone from the L.A area think this crime talk is way over blown? Because I feel like currently people are saying the same about L.A. I feel my family and friends who never left the area keep telling me how crazy it is in St. Louis. LOL But I'm like have you ever lived in Hollywood? Then they tell me it is too dangerous there too. Any advice would be awesome. Looking in Benton Park, Soulard, Tower Grove and even checked out some wonderful old houses in Old North St. Louis.
