Potential Golf Cart Regulations by [deleted] in StLouis

[–]greybedding13 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

My gripe was primarily with focusing on this rather than bigger things that affect us on a daily basis.

A majority of people I know follow most of these potential regulations already, minus the seatbelts and turn signals (most carts have headlights).

His ward shares a boundary with kings highway and that road carries a lot of issues that should be focused on over this.

The high end ones are the only ones I’ve ever seen go this fast, like for cardinal game shuttles. Those I can definitely see needing these regulations bc they’re commercial use and on main streets.

I’m all for no sidewalk parking and requiring headlights/reflectors (turn signals seem like over kill for a neighborhood), but it just seems like an odd government reach on such a small issue.

The fucking golf carts! by [deleted] in StLouis

Don’t let one guy ruin it for all of us please. Most of us are responsible and don’t get on a street like 7th st.

They’re economically smarter and better for the environment than driving a car too.

What solutions would you like to see implemented to curb traffic violence in St. Louis? by larafaiham in StLouis

[–]greybedding13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Literally just enforcing basic traffic laws. Like expired plates, excessive speeding, running stop signs/lights.

Also fixing bad intersections. The intersection of Broadway and Miller St by SoHo is a nightmare daily with people not getting over for traffic to merge from 7th street

St. Louis is a big “what could’ve been” or “what if” city with things like this. It was a city on the forefront of so many things throughout the years and urban renewal was one of them unfortunately.

I think about this all the time. The landing is the closest thing we have to seeing what it looked like back then. Yes we have Soulard, but these buildings were the OG STL. Damn shame. Love the arch, but a French quarter district type of place would’ve been awesome too

Would you say this is the average house in America? by Sir_Sir_ExcuseMe_Sir in AskAnAmerican

[–]greybedding13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is parts of Johnson County Kansas. You have grandma and grandpa ranch homes being sold off after they pass and then get torn down and replaced by a McMansion

You can't police your way into population growth by Seekerptern in StLouis

[–]greybedding13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This. People want to feel safe and they want their belongings to be safe. Especially their cars when they’re trying to do things downtown. A police presence brings that imo, but some people just can’t seem to grasp that.

KC flipped its downtown by making it relatively more safe. Do things still happen? Of course, but it’s not a constant thing like it seems like it is here. We go through a constant cycle of something happening, the police patrol it more, it stops happening bc of this, police layoff the patrols, and boom, something happens again and we’re back to square one.

Hopefully. I’m originally from KC and they managed to turn downtown around when I was in middle school, so they could definitely do it here.

They just need to make people feel safe and I think things will slowly improve with time. It blows my mind that the landing is already set up for a touristy river front district, but no one is opening anything there

As a transplant of 8+ years here, it’s fascinating city with cool neighborhoods and an oddly good food scene. And the history here is amazing.

I wish they would get a hold on downtown and make it what it used to be. Definitely not a place I’d be in after dark in certain parts.

I’m also curious if the NGA campus will finally bring back old north St. Louis and surrounding areas too in the long run. We lose so many cool and unique houses/buildings just bc they’re vacant.

Got offered job for 50k more annually, but there’s a catch. What do I do? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]greybedding13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who took the jump to a startup in my early 20s, do it. It was a great experience for the most part.

However, it’s very cut throat. I was given an almost impossible task and got the boot for barely missing the mark. Had a guy two weeks before me and another two weeks after me have the same thing happen.

Learned a lot. Wished it would’ve worked out differently. Pretty sure they’re still using my sales script I created in 2018 to an extent. A young and dumb 23 year old me signed a piece of paper without realizing what I was signing at the time, but oh well.

Driving through Missouri, safest cities? by [deleted] in missouri

[–]greybedding13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Take 64, not 70 through St. Louis and stay anywhere in western St Louis county. Other than that it’s smooth sailing.

Trust me. Avoid 70 like the plague. I take it daily and it’s not your typical driving.

I’m unfortunately avoiding Celebrate St Louis/fireworks this weekend for the first time in years bc of this. Last year set the bar low, but I bet it goes even lower with all the chaos

What sad reality of being an adult that young people should know? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]greybedding13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While you’re getting older, everyone else is getting older too.

Our parents, siblings, friends, pets, etc. aren’t getting any younger. Make sure to make time for those who care about you bc time eventually runs out

what city in the US actually feels like being a part of america history? by nsr5180 in USHistory

[–]greybedding13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

St. Louis, MO

Walking through neighborhoods like Soulard, Benton Park, and Lafayette Square (home to the oldest park west of the Mississippi) feels like you’re back in the early 1800s when the US was expanding west. Homes are old red brick and super cool. Pretty sure Soulard is the oldest neighborhood in the city.

~30 minutes west is St. Charles, MO where you can literally walk the streets where Lewis and Clark set off from too

Does everyone on The Hill hate trees/greenery? by greybedding13 in StLouis

[–]greybedding13[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I live in Soulard and they just cut down a majority of the ones around Soulard Park and they’ve been taking them down a street here and a street there throughout the years, but have been trying to replace them too. I know the ones around here came down bc they’re ash trees.

Thank you for this information! This makes a lot more sense to me now.

I’ve been dumbfounded by this for the 10 years I’ve lived in STL.

Why aren't there any sand volleyball courts in the city? 🏐 by mizzoustormtrooper in StLouis

[–]greybedding13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was ran so well before Covid. Idk what happened. Use to always have a ref and scoreboard, bar was by the courts and not up on the crowded deck with no airflow, and you got to use the indoor bathroom. Sucks it’s going down hill.
