| St. Louis, watch out! They are going to have loads of fun there. That's Old City, with old, unmapped pipes, ancient sidewalks that were overlaid with newer ones, bedrock that'll break the teeth on their horizontal drills. They'll have better luck with the newer 'burbs on out. |

Chesterfield, MO | St. Louis city is very old but only about 325,000 people live there now -- down from its pinnacle of ~900,000 in the 1950s. Most of the population left for the newer infrastructure of St. Louis county. The city seceded from the county in the 1800s and became it's own city/county. Over a million people inhabit the 100+ municipalities of the county. ~300,000 people live in St. Charles county and almost as many in Jefferson County. There's also a million people in three counties on the east side of the Miss. river in Illinois.
Since the city of St. Louis only comprises about 10% of the metropolitan population, AT&T would be smart to work on the 'burbs first unless the city provides some special tax incentives. It's doubtful that they can afford such a program. They already have a 1% income tax on anyone that works in the city. That's right, it doesn't matter if you don't live there or you don't get to vote there. You get to pay for working there. |
