I have lived in Saint louis, Missouri for many years and one thought that I often think about is how despite Saint Louis having very beautiful architecture and deep history, why do many parts of the city not get equal resources? When you spend time in different parts of the city, you quickly notice how uneven resources have been allocated from one neighborhood to the next. To people who do not live in Saint Louis, it may seem like one conjoined area full of history and culture, but once you spend time in the city, you quickly notice the divide of resources and how uneven things are. There is a part of the city that is filled with thriving businesses, well-kept homes, and safe streets, while the other parts struggle with empty buildings, underfunded schools, and limited resources. When learning about the history of St. Louis, it is clear that these differences are the outcome of decades of economic and racial separation. People should care about this because cities should work for everyone in the communities not just a specific demographic. Growing up in St. Louis it was evident how underfunding in specific areas can affect many aspects of people’s lives from the quality of education to access to healthy food and public transportation.
