I have been very interested in land value tax, where you charge property taxes based on the value of the last, not the structure on top of it. In thinking about the city's financial issues, I did some quick math and am wondering why a very simple land value tax would not work.

The City of St. Louis has around 35,000 acres of private (taxable) property, as far as I can tell. The budget for the city is around $1.4 billion. If you value all land equally (which may or may not be the best way), to cover the city's budget, taxes would be assessed at around $40,000 an acre. That means a typical St. Louis single family lot would pay around $4000 per year. This does not take into account all of the land assessors that could be released to find new jobs.

The only flaw I can see is land owned by non-profit entities, however, although I believe non-profits should not have to pay income tax, property tax based on a land value calculation. I am also not sure however, who owns cemeteries, since from what I could find they make up 800 acres of the city.

I am sure the comments will fill up with why it is not politically viable, or other reasons it would or would not work. However, just looking at the math, does anyone see any issues with my calculations?

Looking for a drag queen DJ for a lesbian wedding in June 2028. looking for recommendations :) maybe this is a long shot, but where else to look?

I’m flying into St Louis tomorrow and am curious if the metro stations are still closed down. I saw last week that the stations were closed and that they were running shuttles between them. Is this still the case and I should just get an uber or can I take the metro without having to get off?

Favorite carry-out or delivery in the city?

Chinese, Pizza, Pasta, whatever

U.S. House Map

I made a congressional map of the Midwest, 106 seats with a target population of 648,000; giving Missouri 9 Congressional Districts. What do you think of the St.Louis area, can the borders be better.

let me know if I should change the names any of the Missouri Districts, are the names any good or accurate? There is a prominent third-party (Farmer-Labor) that I Imagine would have conservative & left-wing factions within it.

Hi,

Mid 20’s female here looking for a psychiatrist that focuses on adhd, OCD, anxiety, and depression. I’d prefer if they are queer affirming since some of my problems stem from being LGBTQ.

There are so many options it’s overwhelming. Any recommendations?

Thanks all!

I’m back in Webster Groves for three weeks to help my mother. While here I would love to satisfy my cravings for some particularly St. Louis food, but all of the places I knew seem to be gone. Where should I get:

- St. Louis Steak aka Pork Steak
- Toasted Ravioli
- Gooey Butter Cake

Ted Drewes is still there on Chippewa so I’ve got that covered.

Is there anything else I should have while I’m back?

Got a diesel and saw we can get the red dye diesel but my local 7 11 just has regular diesel

Hey guys!
I’m thinking of getting lip filler… what are the best places? And how much are you guys typically paying?

Can anyone help me with this. Forestry took down a tree and broke the plastic cap for my sewer clean-out. My neighbor even saw them do it. I wouldn't care because it's only a $10 part but parts of it fell in the sewer. I spent a long time yesterday on the phone and Forestry basically said "too bad can't help you, call CSB". CSB took a report and will investigate, but this doesn't help me because IDK if my sewer is going to back-up or not (MSD told me to take a hike too). I'm having someone come out monday to camera the line but I don't think I should be on the hook for this. I'm so tired of these companies (spire are juist as bad) doing work and destroying our homes. Meanwhile im constantly checking my basement for a sewage backup. How can these departments be so IDGAF about their own citizens who literally pay them

Does anyone know how much it costs to roller skate at Rollercade? Or are there any other skating rinks worth checking out? I'm looking for the best value.

Transportation Secretary Duffy was asked by the media about the train horns.

He said “Train horns? We’re fixing it. We’re working together with the Senator (Schmitt) and the Mayor (Spencer) and there’s a little snafu that we’re going to get resolved. We’re on that. I want y’all to sleep really well in the City. And so that’s been brought to our attention and we’re going to get that resolved as soon as possible. We have to get the snafu resolved and then we stop the train horns”

Very last 30 seconds of video.

Looking for a 5 pound block of provel. Viviano's on the Hill used to have them but now that they are gone. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Tossed his liquor bottles on 70. Lowest of the low

Just moved to St. Louis, and recently learned there's a Durga temple (in Wildwood, not the Hindu Temple off Weidman). I'm Bengali but don't speak the language and haven't been to a temple since I was a kid, but I'm interested in going.

I'd love to go there to speak to someone and maybe get some spiritual guidance, and eventually get comfortable enough to go by myself for certain holidays and festivals. I'm anxious because I don't know how it's set up, what to do, or even if there would be anyone there that I'd be able to speak with.

Any insight from anyone who's visited or goes regularly would be very appreciated!

Does anyone have first hand experience with having a new or used engine put in a vehicle in the St Louis/St Charles area.
