Pierre the Great Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 A recent article in Maclean's has helped prompt the city government to look at new ways of providing better housing to residents.Also, It has spurred renewed discussion of establishing Regina's first urban reserve inside North Central, in association with the Piapot Cree Nation. Several years ago, the City of Regina negotiated a servicing agreement with the Nekaneet First Nation to establish an urban reserve in the northeast Industrial Area. The reserve has not yet been approved by the federal government. got that off of wikipedia. Don't know if its true but if it is then this is great news for the North Central poverty stricken area. See here in Saint Louis if somebody does anything negative about North Saint Louis, Francis Slay and his buddies at city hall do a hissy fit and say the article is completely false. If the city of Regina is spurred into action because of the Maclean's article then, this is good news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacchus Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Every country does, there are now neighbourhoods like that in Toronto, and areas of NDG in Montreal that you do not want to be walking in at night, or even during the day. Show me 1 picture of NDG that is similar to the pictures posted about St-Louis. MTL is my home town and I have never seen anything like that. Some parts of NDG are dangerous, but lets not trivalize what is going on in St-Louis, or many other US towns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only places I've seen that remind me of North Saint Louis are old Eastern Germany towns before the fall of the wall, when they still had bombed out buildings and such, Sarajevo. There is a town by the airport that was pretty much lawless for about 20 years. The cops and city officials were corrupt and a bunch of illegal activities went on in the little town called Kinloch. Now when you drive by it, the streets aren't paved, trees are over grown, maybe about 500 people live there now when it used to be a 10,000 person city. Its a ghost town. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinloch%2C_Missouri http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellston%2C_Missouri http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_Lawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's lost half its population over 40 years, of course there's going to be many abandoned lots and buildings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mont Royale Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I've got ton of ideas for Vancouver's downtown eastside. We need to fix our own problems first before going off to preach to other countries on how to run a country. Based on the first sentence (and your oft-mentioned plans to come to Canada), I assume sentence #2 doesn't apply to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanpuck33 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 more lunatics!! http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=1b1_1175643214 Yeah, they've been on the news off and on for a few years. One of the few groups who brings criticism from both liberals and conservatives, and it's obvious why. I've said it before and I'll say it again, extremist radicals of any kinds are not a good thing.
