Knowing what you already know about Greater St. Louis:

who would they be? age,race, sex,gender, education, lifestyle, profession, religion etc
where would they be from? NSEW? immigrants from other countries etc
where would you want them to relocate? The City, NoCo, SoCo, WestCo, Metro-East etc

just out of curiosity, thanks

thats pretty boring.
I would add a flavorful mix to the city itself all working people all from different backgrounds...The rest of the country sees STL as very bland as it is. ..but please more foreign women

The city used to have over 800,000 residents and would have been over a million by now if growth continued. The drop to around 330,000 is pitiful and white flight to the suburbs left the city in dispair.
Not to mention STL used to be the 2nd busiest port in the country after NYC...that needs to be brought back.

Port as in shipping facility (aka, ships?) I could see that once, but it would take some monumental changes to see something like that come back. If the China air hub goes through, that could help the region with tons of new businesses and improvements for the businesses that are already here....If products are coming from and going to the Far East from St. Louis, there will be ground transportation routes to be bid on, which is going to help everything from hotels, gas stations, food shops, and maybe even a little tourism at some point...

If i was adding 1 million folks to the pot, i doubt i'd care where they came from. Long as they came here with the intentions of being an American, and the heart to work hard for their dreams, and the future of their children, i'd be willing to welcome them with open arms.

Speaking of which, looking at city-data data (//www.city-data.com/city/St.-Louis-Missouri.html), St. Louis is ranked #2 for - "Top 101 counties with the highest average weight of females"

--

That being said...how about half a million Brazilians and half a million Asians!! Both of which clean up a city quite well, and to me anyways, beautiful people.

St. Louis is a beautiful city, it just needs that revitalization that comes with a lot of people descending on a city that really want to be there and live there.

^ That stat is shocking. St. Louis has VERY good looking women.


I don't care where the immigrants come from, I just hope when they move here they stick together. Not because I'm a xenophobe, but because I love the charm of ethic neighborhoods.

Foreign girls are overrated. I'd take a nice, attractive St. Louis blonde anyday. And I always see plenty of those up there. St. Louis has a lot of nice looking women. My buddies notice it too when they come with me.

And about that ranking, this isn't gonna be PC, but places with high African American populations tend to have a higher percentage of overweight people, especially the women.
Quote:
African American women have the highest rates of being overweight or obese compared to other groups in the U.S. About four out of five African American women are overweight or obese
Obesity and African Americans - The Office of Minority Health

And St. Louis city is nearly 50% black. But I will say, black women usually carry their weight better than white women.

Iiiiiiiii dunno about that :P
There are some good ones but u better look hard :P
I often use the scale Cali:St. Louis
A California 2, a St. Louis 7 :P
Ugh a lot of girls (not all) up here have such horrible diets...that shows in how a lot of em look, smell, and taste...yes I said it...Taste! :P
Wtf is the deal with ranch dressing...girls over here eat that gross stuff up.
( I hung out in Thailand for a little over a month...they said all that fruit that they eat makes their kisses sweeter and its true...also other parts are a bit more "fresh") :P Damn I'm knocking on the door of gettin this post flagged.


And blondes hmmm....I may have gone to Ladue HS but they never grew on me...a ton of em are my friends and my first gf was blonde, but we seem to not see eye to eye...the 2% latino population either has me seen as some exotic dude, or just some brown guy who most blondes wont mess with...foreign women are the best...I would take a nice tan brazilian mami with one of those nice round brazilian behinds any day



We need more latin flavor in this city :P Seems the cities with the most of that are always on the "sexy" lists...

I would take any of these over a blonde any day
