  1. The city took a lead role.

    They have better websites.

    Public education was a good choice.

    The Gap or other nationally known retailers opened.

  2. San Francisco does an excellent job of planning when compared to the hasty, shove it down your throat approach of St. Louis.
    A quote from San Fran redevelopment info. "The CAC guidelines represent a strong community consensus and has set the tone for the renewal of the project area. These guidelines were integrated into the Redevelopment Plan." The CAC is the Citizens Advisory Committee.

    Surprise! The community was included, so yes they are behind the plan. Exactly the opposite of St. Louis, oh and by the way San Francisco is a world class city, meanwhile St. Louis has fallen so far in status the airlines don't even want to be here any more.
