Nothing like a few east St. Louis gangs roaming around your shopping area to run off business and cause the places to shut down. Not to mention the theft and worse the shooting each other at Metrolink stops........
Wouldn't have been applicable in this case, my old neighborhood. It's almost entirely residential with just a smattering of high end mom & pop retailers. The concern was that people would ride the train up to Ruxton-Riderwood, steal your big screen TV and take it back to the ghetto on the train. As a result the area is severely underserved by public transportation... but who needs that when you've got your BMW and Lexus SUV in the carriage house?
