Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
If you want to leave. Leave. You don’t have to do an 1,500 word “Look at me and please beg me to stay” plea. I didn’t take that as a beg me to stay post at all. It came off as a “this forum is getting way out of hand” with stupid statements and politics and multiple, multiple accounts to try and in...

Re: OFFICIAL - Bartle Hall Expansion construction
Build a new convention center into the North Loop trench. Close either end to the highway system, build your exhibition halls and parking garages right where the highway road is now, street grid at the surface level. Doesn't need light though you could have skylights on the roof, would have connecti...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
$500m 15 years ago and it’s fairly bare bones on the interior compared to a MLB or NFL stadium. The Cathedral is less than the $1b the Royals have said they will spend on the Royals stadium and it's much, much larger, over twice the capacity. The current design (what little we've seen from it) just...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
If they had a 50-100% higher budget I’m certain they’d love to The bottom one cost around $500m and that is for a bigger football stadium. Others are similar. It doesn’t cost that much more to make something visually appealing, it just takes some care to make something that will last instead of jus...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
One thing that would help the Royals project in the Crossroads is actually showing a plan that is seen as a piece of art itself. If bowing to the beginnings of the Crossroads and taking a stance that they want to join with their own piece of art, I think they would get a much better response. Here a...

Re: NYC Migrants Are Being Welcomed by Kansas City’s Mayor to Fill Jobs
Please explain how 80,000 Metro people are surviving if they have given up looking for work... They crowd into houses with relatives. This is very, very common in poor areas that most on this board might not frequent. 'Grandma' owns a house and everyone lives with her. I'm not opposed to people ear...

Re: NYC Migrants Are Being Welcomed by Kansas City’s Mayor to Fill Jobs
^ First, the unemployment rate is around 4%. In a metro area like Kansas City that means 80,000 people in our area looking for a job that can’t find one. Second, the unemployment rate methodology is bogus. They’ve changed it to make it lower. Actually, only close to 67% of the available workforce i...

Re: OFFICIAL - Main Street Streetcar Extension
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?

Re: NYC Migrants Are Being Welcomed by Kansas City’s Mayor to Fill Jobs
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...

Re: NYC Migrants Are Being Welcomed by Kansas City’s Mayor to Fill Jobs
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?

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...
