The Saint Louis Land Reutilization Authority (LRA) owns more than 9,000 parcels of land, and the agency's purpose, according to state statute, is to get that vacant land back into private hands so that it can be developed into new homes and businesses. Yet the city's largest landholder isn't selling much of its property. In an interview with McGraw Milhaven on KTRS AM, Audrey Spalding, a policy analyst with the Show-Me Institute, talks about her research into how the LRA has rejected offers to purchase more than 2,250 different properties from 2003 through 2010.

Joseph Haslag, economics professor at the University of Missouri–Columbia and executive vice president of the Show-Me Institute, explains in this radio commentary for KBIA 91.3 FM in Columbia that real economic stimulus comes from thousands of little things, a wide array of market actions and decisions that can't be anticipated or controlled by a centralized plan. "It will take some time for balance sheets to heal," Haslag concludes, "but it will happen. Citizens should refrain from idly waiting for the illusory salvation of the stimulus package."
