Re: Do you have or plan to get Google Fiber?
Google Fiber is not offering TV service in new markets it's entering - Louisville and San Antonio. They are hinting to use OTT streaming services instead like YouTubeTV, Sling, Hulu etc. GF says they'll continue to offer TV in existing markets but would bet they get rid of it next year (that is if t...

Great to see more outside developer interest spill over into Midtown.

Re: KC to STL Hyperloop
Which is why there are feasibility studies. If it's not worth doing, don't. But it could be worth doing freight only for several years with the CBA working out for adding passengers long term (after kinks/risks worked out). Infrastructure this significant probably wouldn't have a payback period well...

Re: KC to STL Hyperloop
The feasibility study should assume 200-300MPH and not 700+ not yet demonstrated. And State of MO should not be suckered into funding this. Only contribute enough that applies to a contingency plan (if this fails) using the right of way for a new I70, let investors pay for the rest. That said, MO sh...

Re: Main Street MAX
Yeah as a bus rider I want more frequent service over larger buses. Frequent service is more important than capacity per bus to bus riders. And being 'on time' isn't as important if a line runs at most every 10 minutes. Larger buses would likely cause less frequent service and less frequent service ...

Re: Amazon searching for second HQ
Amazon could use Sprint campus as short term tactical space as new buildings constructed. And if TMO merger happens and pulls out of KC, about 5K potential employees available for AMZ. And lots of contractors. But hopefully TMO realizes it's cheaper to operate out of KC than Seattle.

Re: Sprint sale rumors again
Looking like TMobile/Sprint will target announcing an intended merger by October. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/09/report-t-mobile-sprint-finally-figuring-out-this-merger-thing/ TMobile CEO may lead the combined company, which could be bad news for KC unless they realize how mu...

Re: Meyer Building (3923 Main)
Photon vibes sent hoping for something positive to happen with Hawthorne building. Not sure if that part of Main is prime for retail rents rising until more market rate residential built up.

Re: KC to STL Hyperloop
Would be interesting to see how much local funding indicated compared to investor funding for the regions on the long list. Would expect the ratio will be quite high towards local funding. As posted earlier, MO should only invest as much as can be applied toward a new I-70 as a contingency plan if H...
