^ Many people are not counted an unemployed because they have literally given up looking for work. Please explain how 80,000 Metro people are surviving if they have given up looking for work, and Missouri and Kansas have work requirements to get SNAP and TANF? Perhaps those workers who left the wor...

As 18th & Vine projects increase, KC approves $20M to help build garage ... Now, officials have approved a measure to help construct what they say would be the Third District's first city-funded multilevel garage, and possible transit-oriented development, too, as development continues to incre...

There are two blocks north of the T-Mobile Center if some team ownership wants to build an arena for sports.

Sadly, that tale is often the case and why it takes so long to redevelop even vacant parcels. If I were a large developer, I'd create a master plan for the CP acreage with streets, sidewalks, alleys, landscaping, etc. and divide it into smaller parcels. I'd have other small developers build just a f...

Belvidere, does anyone ask the developers about building townhouses in a neighborhood association with mandatory common fees versus building old-style zero setback townhouses wall-to-wall that are individually-owned, not in a neighborhood association, and have no commons fees? I ask because this oft...

I should have been more specific in that the new design makes subtle reference to streamline moderne art deco in its use of vertical bands. The vertical bands didn't exist in previous designs. Please don't make me post a bunch of examples of buildings from the art deco era in Miami that don't have p...

what was the scope of the study? Crossing the RR is one problem but even using industrial is pretty treacherous and I wouldn't recommend anybody walk it currently. It's a little hard to define. We went in with the idea that we might get something like a Town of Kansas bridge. We had hoped that Spir...

Is that the building for the beer garden?

I'm surprised they didn't go for a 3-story above the front grade instead of 2-story. It could have been a 3-story with basement. That could have made it possible to create a multi-generational house. I think that would sell quickly in a neighborhood with people of Italian and Vietnamese descent.

Yeah we need more rowhouse in KC but I wouldn't touch those due to the proximity to the highway. Glad they got built though! The six acres in Columbus Park around 4th and Gillis should be all rowhouses. We are looking at 3 plots of land near CP Lofts are are likely to be townhomes and live/work spa...

Anyone hear anything about these townhomes going up? Foundations have been poured, ETA for completion? https://compasskc.kcmo.org/EnerGov_Prod/SelfService/#/plan/b368290b-a694-48ab-b4bb-a088698fccf3 https://www.google.com/maps/@39.1110457,-94.5710605,3a,75y,132.23h,89.9t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1stsPZEgS...

The new front of the building has an art deco design.

I still maintain they could have reused the facade of the old bank building in their design.

The mayor said on TV yesterday that the migrants must have work permits. The action was taken because local employers have difficulty finding workers to fill positions. He also mentioned large construction projects that needed laborers. He means construction projects that need CHEAP laborers. There...

Kansas City coming up with alleyway maintenance plan

https://fox4kc.com/news/kansas-city-com ... ance-plan/

You can thank the mayor for the state treating us like their red headed step child KC has received short shrift from Missouri for a long time and over the tenures of many mayors. St Louis has the advantage (at least St Louis County) of being the locus of the metro's wealth where several large corpo...

What are the odds this building never gets built?

I wish the former YMCA in downtown Kansas City at 10th and Oak had been converted to lofts and not demolished.

Any downward trend is good news.

There is a saying: "Some people are determined not to be pleased with good news."
