The “rich” (white) neighborhoods in st Louis routinely fight against any sort of metro expansion near their refuges as well. They always claim that connecting to the metro will just make it easier for criminals to be in the neighborhoods.
Years ago some rich people from a neighborhood said in the news that they don’t want a metro close because poor people would go there to make BBQ on their street. I don’t even have to tell you what people actually started doing to protest that ignorant asshole.

It’s always unabashed racism
