    St. John’s should be the pride of the country, but right now it doesn’t reflect that. Serious planning and follow-through are needed.

    If they really deal with derelict buildings, that alone would make a big difference.

    City aesthetics important, but garbage collection needs fixing urgently. That alone would make a big difference

    St. John’s supposed to be the capital, but it embarrassing in some areas. Fix the basics first.

    St. John’s deserves development that reflects the people who live and work there.
