Re: UMKC projects
How would one do that vis-a-vis BKS BLVD? The neighborhood is intact, every home there has more automobiles per household than they did when the Boulevard was built in its current state. Where would the increased traffic come from? Also, while it seems unlikely, have you not heard BKS NIMBYs shriek ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I would be satisfied if they just covered the stands. KC in the summer without shade is obviously brutal and getting worse as we all know.

Re: Cerner still committed to Bannister site
Digging in the vault... At some point somebody just needs to commit political suicide in an honorable way and confess that the best thing for the city to do is throw in the towel and quit dumping money into the infrastructure for an ex mall. Tear out all the streets and asphalt, move that fire stati...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I have been reading a lot of comments about the K re: one of the most iconic MLB stadiums. Is it actually? I have never heard of anyone say that outside of KC fans. I hear people saying Dodgers, Wrigley, Yankee, Red Sox but I have literally never heard this about Kauffman from anyone who doesn’t li...

Re: 2024 Missouri Elections
Rehder is from the Bootheel and Bailey is from somewhere near Hermann. Not that it makes much difference. They are all from Missouri, which is a shitsmear from border to border.

Re: Martini Corner near 31st/Gilham
I was confused when they said they haven't hosted concerts since 1974. Then I read "in the 1990s and early 2000s, El Torreon’s first floor was a semi-legal home for the local underground music scene". News to me. Could have sworn I saw the Butt Hole Surfers and Flaming Lips there in '88 b...

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
Europeans will tell you themselves, Americans are violent, and they're not wrong. Europeans will tell you all kinds of stuff about Americans, and usually they don't have a very good sense of what they are talking about. They are about as ignorant of us as they pretend we are of them, and most of th...

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
Idk quit trying to defund the police, and pouring tax dollars into sports. Alternately, you could quit giving the police ALL THE MONEY to do a bunch of tasks - tasks that they are objectively very, very bad at - that aren't policing, and instead give that money to the organizations that are designe...

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
Violent crime is worse in urban areas, but crime in general is very high in high poverty rural areas. The "red" states, since you want to be political, have just as much or more crime per capita than blue states and almost always have higher poverty and lower education rates. There is som...

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
In fact, I never really felt uncomfortable in terms of becoming the victim of physical violence while in Europe. I don't generally feel threatened in the US either but I'm far more aware of my surroundings here when out and about. The data doesn't back up that feeling, unless the only physical viol...

Re: Washington Sq Park between Crown Center/Union Station
A Trolley-trail style bike trail down the center of every divided boulevard in the City would go a long way toward making that classification a reality.Cratedigger wrote: ↑Tue Jun 20, 2023 2:15 pm You're probably right but what also skews the data is the Boulevards being classified as parks
