Re: 5th and Main (Northwest Corner)

The comments from Jaz Hays on there are from KCT's newest BZA member. Good luck y'all. Comments on a Reddit thread are what's stopping this from happening? I distinctly remember KC Tenants not actually saying/doing anything about this project, at least publicly. In fact, we had a discussion about i...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

KCPS is prepping to make yet another shortsighted argument against future tax dollars as well: And that’s not a complete list by any means.The Kansas City Public School District wants a say because of the tax dollars it would lose were a tax-exempt ballpark built in the East Crossroads.

Re: 5th and Main (Northwest Corner)

Isn't this project supposed to be breaking ground like very soon? I think they said March That’s what they want you to think. 3rd and Grand should’ve been well underway by now as well. How is this thing still not going? It's been like shovel ready for 2 years now and the FAA cleared it. Even the cr...

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

Some of these projects are actively being worked on now with completion dates this year. Others on that list are in flight with plans to be announced soon. Some of the others on the list have been doing serious behind the scenes work and we’ll probably hear more concrete plans announced in the next...

Source? I don’t doubt they have impacted development, but other factors such as interest rates and a SEC investigation for one specific developer have contributed as well.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

If the vote fails (and I think it probably will unless there is a last minute marketing miracle), I think it will be time to rise up against KC Tenants. The amount of damage they are doing to the future of KC is starting to become unimaginable. What actual damage have they done again? I mean I'm ob...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

The other opposition groups essentially have zero funding but they’re loud. FYSA KCT's latest financial filings show they have a few million dollars in cash assets. Don't make the same mistake others make in failing to recognize this. They're not from humble beginnings, and they're certainly not a ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

From https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article285655497.html The Royals said last week that their plan is to buy the properties and then hand title to the county, which would own the stadium. So the county owns the stadium? Then it’s not building a stadium for a billionaire at all...

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

I didn't see any invites for that even either. Virtually everyone I know would have wanted to go, myself included. Blaming a lack of new construction would be one hell of an ironic statement to make though.

Re: Chiefs Super Bowl Parade - 2024

Far too difficult to implement security checkpoints when an event is drawing hundreds of thousands over a mile+ of area. To be a truly secure event, you’d need to vacate all buildings during these events on the parade route. We shouldn’t lock ourselves up and away because of this tragedy. We can co...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I remain disheartened that so many members of this forum support the wanton destruction of organic urban development for a baseball stadium when there are other, reasonable options. While money may satisfy some folks, for others it may provide little or no consolation. So-called successful real est...

Re: GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How does someone carry a machine gun to a parade without being stopped or questioned? It would be one thing if it had been someone intending to do a mass shooting, but it sounds like the shooting was a crime of passion. Because "Machine gun" is a terrible description of what the person wa...

Re: What the area needs

And maybe an age requirement to buy a firearm? Or at least a high threshold of gun safety education for a minor? It’s wild that a juvenile is not prohibited. It should at least mirror federal law. Let’s start there. Yes. This law-abiding citizen clearly purchased an expensive, legally acquired fire...
