according to forbes. fail. what's that 62% number for anyway? workforce population? investment? revenues? residential population? not denying it, just wondering what it actually means.
That's great for Cincy and I'm glad that's happening but don't use your successes to put St. Louis down, which has also been in the midst of an urban renaissance for about a decade. Our downtown has also been posting solid population growth and is getting better by the day. The resurgence of both of these cities is not mutually exclusive.
I'm not putting anyone, or anything down. You STL boosters seem a little sensitive to me.

No one in their right mind (especially someone from Cincinnati) would be audacious or foolish enough to blatantly diss St. Louis. Oh-h-h, if I were only much younger and had more money, I'd tour every square foot of your city--a very impressive place indeed.
Yeah we couldve have had a huge subway system but construction stopped.
Yea, it sure did. It's also partially why I think St. Louis has a good argument for being better for urban living since its system can connect you to multiple urban parts.

For all the talk about the MetroLink, the whole system barely cracks 50k riders a day. Even Miami's much maligned (and little used) Metrorail has a higher ridership. I guess it's better to have it than not have it, but the numbers suggest that most people prefer the good old car.
you say that as if st. louis can't say the same thing. just because forbes left us off their arbitrary list doesn't mean there isn't a huge urban renaissance taking place in st. louis as well. in fact, i think every single major american city can claim to be undergoing an urban resurgence.
No, actually, you are reading your insecurities into what I said. I just simply stated, in plain English:

No one said that. I think the Cincy boosters are excited because Cincinnati has been in the midst of a decade long transformation that has turned out a very vibrant urban core. There is mass development uptown as well, so in short, we are seeing a sustained development boom. Apparently, that seems to strike a nerve or two with the STL crowd.
Period. No hidden intent to attack Saint Louis. Bruh...you really need to get over your STL problems. If your city is so great then why do you spend your time trying to convince everyone? You sound like you have some MAJOR issues. Maybe try a shrink?

Sssh. The St Lou crowd thinks it's a real subway system that's jam packed with strap hangers...

I guess you've never seen it at rush hour or during sporting events. I actually have had to be a straphanger on there quite a bit. Even if it is generally underused, I'd still rather have an underused metro system than none at all.

Where do you think I got the pic from?
