re: Sad City that Could be Great

10/1/2020Yeah, the crime rate is higher than other places, but I live in Oakville and did live in Mehlville for several years and didn't see the crime that happens in the rougher areas of town. You also can't put a bad review on a city for things that happened decades and decades ago. Yes, redlining happened, but it's not happening now, and we're still in the recovery process on that front. And we don't have a basketball team, not because of racism, but because 1, the city doesn't have enough people to afford it, and 2, the Hawks left in the 70s because the city just didn't like basketball. News flash, the best player on the Hawks at the time was a white guy in a league that was, yes, already dominated by black guys. We're not a world-class town anymore because we're not on the Western front of the country anymore. Famous people want to live on the coast. Also, the fact that you came up with nine pros and 4 cons doesn't really make for a two star review. Just throwing it out there.
