And I though Rhode Island was bad

With the City of Central Falls being slightly over a square mile in size. With all the attention on the area surrounding St. Louis with its 79 Neighborhoods in the city itself and the 90 municipalities that surround it, many of them a few blocks in size makes my home state seem almost sane.

These little fiefdoms are breeding ground for corruption as they attempt to raise the funds to sustain themselves, which is what I believe is the cause behind the situation in Kinloch and the barring of the newly elected mayor from city hall. Perhaps it is time to expand St. Louis to include these areas into the city proper.
