If they’ve worked out a CBA they like, why would they stay neutral on the vote instead of encouraging a Yes vote?
Because they're spineless and bowing to the likes of Coxxxon and such.

Re: Fantasy Retrofits: Barney Allis Plaza

Would not expect the residential built in an initial phase/buildout. Seems like Connected KC 2050 has the latest project scope: https://gis2.marc2.org/mtp/publiccommentlisting.html $116,500,000 ...

Re: Overhaul of Kansas City incentive policies

The only KCMO project I have broken ground on in the past three years was a 10-unit apartment project [because at 12 units the affordable set-aside kicks in!]. It has an LCRA incentive. Requiring prevailing wages for labor on this project would have definitely killed our budget. This is the exact k...

Re: Is KC Tenants destroying the development future of downtown KCMO?

Does anyone else find it a bit hypocritical that KC Tenants has millions of dollars in it's PAC's coffers, yet they refuse to spend any money on actually building or otherwise funding housing for their membership and audience?

Re: OFFICIAL - Wallstreet Tower (formerly US Bank Tower)

Just curious and maybe you've already answered this but if not... How do you know they used a 40/60 mix? Good question. 1. It's listed in the "certification letter" the HOA sent to the city as the fluid used. 2. The manufacturer, distributor, KCFD, and building staff have all independentl...

Her hypocrisy is well noted, and shamelessly flamboyant as ever. I was extremely disappointed to find that her comments are disabled on her personal page even though each of her post is public.

Re: Plaza Residential Development

The main issue in this area is not street parking, but its that 45th Street should not have on-street parking as it's too narrow and backs up. It's typical NIMBYism to try and prevent others from living in the same great area. This lot is surrounded on 3 sides by medium-dense multi-family housing c...

Wasn’t Larks the company that was going to take the TopGolf space in Wall Street Tower? Yes. However, that proposal was blown out of proportion and was nowhere near ever happening.

Re: Is KC Tenants destroying the development future of downtown KCMO?

Because KCT thinks the market "won't work for everyone", they specifically attack that market and try and make it work worse for everyone. I guess what you are not getting is that their organization is actively trying to limit the addition of new supply to the KCMO housing market, because...

This would be unfortunate as he's about the only person doing anything in City Hall these days. City Hall as a whole is extremely dysfunctional.. and without him I am sure it would only be worse.

Re: Is KC Tenants destroying the development future of downtown KCMO?

Yes, I would love if we could get KCT support for aspects of this reform program. But I think it is clear at this point that they have ideological reasons to want the private market for housing development to work worse, not better. Because they don't want a functioning private housing market at al...
