As a St Louis city resident, I'd be ecstatic with 13,000 more people living in the city over a decade. Any sort of positive number would be worth celebrating.

The city has been losing population for a long time, like every rsut belt city. The metro area had been staying relatively stable but did drop recently. Which is concerning.

There are positive things happening. We managed to get rid of a Soros-backed prosecutor. We will have the chance to elect a less-bad rep to get rid of Cori Bush. But overall, there is a general lack of leadership in the city and a lack of any regional vision.

Every elected official in every municipality around here is only out for themselves, not even trying to better their specific muni.
