Come on, we do know what this means, don’t we?
Mayor Francis Slay has asked the city’s building division to require downtown parking lots to hire attendants, in hopes of stopping a rash of car break-ins, his staff announced today.
Police were investigating more than 60 break-ins that occurred downtown and in surrounding area parking lots last weekend.
This means it will cost more to park in downtown St. Louis either for an event or as part of your monthly “privilege” of working in the Big City.
Because the city has better things to do with its time and money than to police the city, and the signs that warn visitors to downtown that your valuables are forfeit are already thick enough to keep weeds from growing in the cracks of the underused and crumbling city sidewalks.
Like saving the building that housed a failed taco joint and/or giving money away to redevelop the site.
