Re: Surface Lots, Land Banking, Ect

They're describing a CID, it would hold up. https://revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=67.1521 Would take a vote of the people inside the district A CID would only be able to impose special assessments for public improvements and/or a 1% sales tax.

Re: Surface Lots, Land Banking, Ect

City would probably gain more than lose if this tax were just targeted to loop, crossroads, river market. I'm positive that would bring a court challenge.

Re: The Midland Lofts (formerly Midland Office Building)

Isn't percentage rent pretty common? Not in places I’ve seen. It might be the case in larger cities or places likes hotels. Interesting! It was one of the first things taught in this real estate investments class I'm taking. I do a lot of corporate real estate work all across the country, percentag...

Re: OFFICIAL - Waddell & Reed - 14th & Baltimore

The city is an opposing party? In a legal sense yes, As the owner of the building they (the city staff) obviously want to see the contract upheld. They would be in opposition to any actions taken around the building that would involve breaking the contract and would take this stance if it goes to c...

Re: OFFICIAL - Waddell & Reed - 14th & Baltimore

I was always nervous about any deal that involved Waddell & Reed. We can hope that they can find another tenant in time. This may have already been covered, but were there any corporate guarantors for the development/leasing of the building? If the payments are still flowing from somewhere , th...

Re: Politics

It seems like he's missed almost all state deadlines to appear on any ballots, but I'm sure he could still run as a write in? That could still be disruptive enough to push Trump to victory. Didn't he admit to being Bi-polar? Maybe he'll change his mind tomorrow. Being bi-polar has nothing to do wit...

What's everyone's thoughts on this Kayne West for President spectacle? Typically not a conspiracy guy but can't help to think this is some kind of play to get Biden less votes only to help Trump? I think we’ll collectively forget about it in a week. A month at the latest. He "declared" he...

Re: COVID19

IS there anything in our constitution that defines what type of economy we have to run? There's not an explicit capitalism provision, no. But to the extent that the government would need to get increasingly involved in the regulation of private entities, that involvement would need to be reasonably...

Re: COVID-19 Casualties

I'm going to say that if someone closed because of COVID and never reopened we should track them here. Adding Bar Louie. Which location? P&L one closed before. P&L closed Jan. 24 because the chain went bankrupt, so yeah before the order or even when restaurants started switching to carry ou...

Re: COVID19

Someone on this board had said anecdotally that StL wasn't doing much in the way of social distancing early on. We are very fortunate that our metro got out in front of this in a unified way. That and KC metro hospitals aren't regularly reporting positive COVID cases. They are urged to do so by the...

Re: COVID19

I’d prefer taking a chance of a quick death from COVID than a slow death from poverty. Just saying Some people prefer not to be sacrificed for the economy Plus, NOBODY is as good at social distancing as they think they are. If they were, we wouldn't be seeing spreads in nursing homes or in jails/pr...

Re: Black leaders seek to rename Paseo to MLK Blvd

The New York Times article I read last night made me so unreasonably angry. A black pastor accusing black people who supported this decision of just "not prioritizing racial justice". What a bunch of stupid hot bullshit. I can't take it with this City sometimes.

In the EEZ presentation, their attorney said it's projected to be up to 15 floors (including the parking garage).
