Looking at the number of newer homes built in these areas it is clear that by volume these Counties are building at a much faster rate. Yet are they demolishing their homes as fast as St. Louis City? <BR/><BR/>It could be said that if St. Louis continues its practices of neglecting these homes through agencies like the LRA, our number of historical homes will decline. In 1990 St. Louis had 108,490 historical homes; since 1990 we have lost 22,945 which is about 2300 homes per year. At this rate we will only have 62,600 historical homes in St. Louis City by 2010. From 1990-2000, Jackson County only lost 10,709 in the same 10 year period at a rate of about 700 per year.Doug Duckworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15684467055184767166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826793.post-1159911779664728942006-10-03T16:42:00.000-05:002006-10-03T16:42:00.000-05:00So the bio-baby spills some milk.So the bio-baby spills some milk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826793.post-1159902567803852722006-10-03T14:09:00.000-05:002006-10-03T14:09:00.000-05:00Just out curiousity, what Missouri city will have...Just out curiousity, what Missouri city will have more?<BR/><BR/>PEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826793.post-1159900251710042832006-10-03T13:30:00.000-05:002006-10-03T13:30:00.000-05:00St. Louis has the most historical housing in the e...St. Louis has the most historical housing in the entire state.<BR/><BR/>Give it 10-20 more years and this will no longer be the case!Doug Duckworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15684467055184767166noreply@blogger.com
