This issues has been debated for ever. Unfortunately,, there would be little development in St. Louis without incentives because the numbers don’t work otherwise. Developers have lots of opportunities to develop elsewhere and the social problems in the city plus antiquated development practices make developing in the city more difficult and expensive. Aldermen who are concerned about incentives need to work to revise city practices that are inefficient. Written by Paul Dribin
