Starting to see the amount of space they are leaving for streetside parking along the route, I don't see how cars are going to fit in those spaces and not impede the train....and I'm all for it. Sly way to cut the parking without saying you're going to cut the parking?

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...

This is just Lucas planning for his political future. He's young enough he bolts for Washington or NYC and is just posturing favors for job paybacks down the road. Bunch is probably trying the same thing but I'm not sure he catches anything. Maybe, a transportation middle manager for Buttigeig.

This would be the time where I hope NKC/Clay actually comes in and bids for the Chiefs. Now THAT would be golden site. Is it? Is there enough space? Unlike the Royals they will need a lot of parking to keep the tailgate atmosphere An All-county Missouri side vote that puts the Royals downtown and t...

Armour is complete in both directions.

Here is all of the track that I’ve seen needs to be laid to completion:
Pershing intersection northbound
Linwood intersection southbound
39th St intersection southbound
45th to Cleaver southbound
Just north of south terminus to Ward Pkwy -both directions

Well, that's her district, even if she is at large, and 3rd D needs help. I think she has more range and understands context. I have hope she will craft useful policies. I really don’t. She has a point of view more in line with 6 and 5, maybe even 1 and 2 than anything urban at all. I’d expect her ...

Patterson Hazley is not anti-development. I'm curious to know what kind of policies she is considering, which may include something for vacant buildings. I think she also plans to have a forum for developers to understand their roadblocks. If you follow her on X, she's very suburban-style developme...

Can we just copy London Printworks for the Star building?

If the Royals play well against the Mets and White Sox (next 6 games), the stands better be more full for the home stand against the Orioles. You don't know our pain as Royals fans. We are bitter fucks and will not believe they're winners until after the All Star break. I'd be happy to make it out ...

My guess is that the Port Authority pushes this thing forward.

Smart. Get the team before you build the arena, otherwise you probably won’t get one.

I'm very confident I know conversations happened which caused things to change with the people I said.

Yep, they stuck their foot in the door and the Royals got mesmerized by a shiny ball that wasn't attainable.

A lot of captured energy in Star press pavilion, which is actually quite beautiful despite being a disaster at the ground level. Would be a phenomenal waste of resources to demolish. I’ve felt this too though thought I was probably the only one. People need to have more vision for reusing buildings.

KC misses out again. Arizona Coyotes going to Utah. Utah had an organized onwership group. Can't miss a shot you dont even take Article I saw said still negotiating with the NHL and they aren’t happy with the current Delta Center in SLC in its current setup. They do have support from their governor...

The density argument seems obvious to me and I'm not clear on what the disagreement is for bfa. Increased density = more people in the same space. A thousand people paying a tax will generate less money than ten thousand people paying the same tax. What am I missing here? I'm sure there is a tiny e...

When revenues under the current taxing rate increases, I am certain we will generally raise more total $ of taxes so that we can either improve existing services and infra or have more to spend on new investments (ie transit) Ok, I understand your point. I probably wouldn’t agree, but it’s beside t...

The suburbs are incentivized to the hilt. But urban development spreads those same service annd infra costs across an much greater number of residents. Also, prop tax abatement for a period still leaves you with all the benefits of sales and income tax. I understand the argument for density but do ...

There becomes a very real risk that the continued overloaded sales taxes will start to stifle the city economy. We have to find a new way to fund initiatives without carry on with the "Just add a sales tax!". Cough cough density cough cough state support We will never get anything from th...

Lucas does not want to continue subsidizing other communities that choose not to invest in transit. Understandable. I’m not sure pulling kcmo’s funds will do anything to get them to pledge more dollars though. For the love of god, do transit funding at the county level like a normal community. All ...
