The building division is in crisis. Something has to be done. The average time to issue permits has more than doubled in the last few years…..

Very dramatic. The city is still a wonderful place to be, and will continue to be.

two nights in a row. same bullshit. 😓

Heard several sirens even from inside. S Compton Ave in Gravois Park

This. It’s very difficult to continue willingly paying more in taxes to live here in the city than i would pay anywhere else in the region, yet get fewer or worse services. we need to focus on doing the basics well. we need some core competencies because we have zero right now.

ridiculous. infuriating.

When holding on to your vacant building only costs you a measly $300/year in property taxes, where’s the incentive to do anything with it? There is none. We severely undervalue vacant buildings and vacant land.
