[St. Louis] Mayor Lyda Krewson has temporarily relocated after a string of protests at her Central West End home.
The mayor on Wednesday confirmed that she and her husband, former television reporter Mike Owens, have been living at an apartment, also in the Central West End.
“We have not lived at home for 2 months,” Krewson said in a text message to a reporter. “We did it to deescalate the situation, to save police resources, and importantly because our neighbors were being disturbed and threatened.”
The mayor said “for me it comes with the territory.”
“I ran for this job — my neighbors did not,” Krewson said.
*So designated because while the only things even vaguely "agricultural" that are still out here in St. Louis County, Missouri are the odd horse ranch or weirdo who raises chickens or something, the device on the seal of St. Louis County consists of a plow. A long time ago, that pissed off the St. Louis Post-Dispatch enough to try to change it but they couldn't pull it off.

So, basically, the "peaceful protests" were fine as long as they took place somewhere else. When the protesters invaded her own neighborhood, then she left.
It's nice that she and her husband had somewhere else to go to. Most of the people living in the neighborhoods destroyed by the "peaceful protesters" had nowhere to go after their homes and livelihoods were ruined.
But they still couldn't bring themselves to move, even temporarily, outside of their beloved CWE.
Birds of a feather, for all time.
