Vernon Gentry has purchased at least 69 properties north of Delmar Boulevard in St. Louis since 2023 — more than half of them since last year's tornado.

The reason? There are still so many homes not yet too far gone that he can buy, gut, rehab and rent out at affordable rates, he says.

Violence spiked this spring at 13th and Cass, just north of downtown St. Louis. Six people were shot dead in an eight-block area over a span of 66 days.

Police, homeless advocates and business owners chalk it up to drug use, growing homeless camps and abandoned properties.

A blight that has bedeviled Kinloch for seven years is finally shrinking. Over the past week, workers have begun gnawing at a 6-acre mountain of shingles and other solid waste.

It wasn't always like this. Two derelict buildings on the site began as schools: Kennedy Junior High and Kinloch Senior High. Later they served as City Hall and a community center.

Another dialogue started, another opportunity to improve things in the local community.

It started with this post - see first graphic

Which made me remember our local news reporting - 2nd graphic...which probably is also reported in your local paper, yes?

I asked our editor about this practice/policy - 3rd graphic

Will things improve with regard to this local reporting? That is a definite maybe. (If this dialogue had not started, then I can confidently say that nothing would change.)

I'll follow up on this the next time I meet our local editor for green chile cheeseburgers.

Thank you @algernon for sparking a dialogue!

Companies tied to investor Joey Chianese, of Virginia, have bought 150+ homes at dirt-cheap prices from the poorest neighborhoods of St. Louis.

He then sells the properties using a model like rent-to-own, which yields investors a steady cash stream with little to no responsibility, and leaves buyers without the protections afforded by mortgages or landlord-tenant laws.

Who else is embarrassed for #WTHR? The #CircleOfLights broadcast is so bad. Just as the lights were about to be turned on, they went to a Riley Children’s Hospital commercial not once, but TWICE, and missed the lights being turned on. The overall production value was way down from past years.

Shame on #Tegna. #LocalJournalism deserves better than all the cuts and layoffs.
