Re: New Chiefs Stadium
Just had a couple of people stop by with Vote Yes Flyers. Asked me how I was going to vote. Said undecided. Asked why. Said closing Oak and underwhelming announcement from the Chiefs. Canvasser said "Oh really because I understand they are building a retractable roof to get the Super Bowl"...

Hey, maybe that was the plan all along!beautyfromashes wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2024 8:11 pm The #1 action that could gain yes votes in this election is for the city to immediately announce a plan for East Village.

Odds are the next governor will be as supportive as Parsons.KCDowntown wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2024 5:49 pm I think the rushed nature of everything is partly due to the fact that they know they have a supportive Governor with Mike Parsons for the state component of the funding. His current term ends in early 2025.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Why is it so damn hard for the Royals to get out in front of all these issues? Like how hard would it be for them to do some short form content that is shareable on social media or a youtube video that addresses all the major concerns or even just throw out some olive branches by addressing the iss...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
The Chiefs just won back to back Super Bowls. That will carry this over the line once the campaign is made to be just as much about the Chiefs than it is the Royals. I can't see a universe where the piece of shit 2006 Chiefs/Royals could pass a vote but the Mahomes Chiefs/Royals cannot. I don't thi...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I might have missed it but why was East Village eliminated as a site? Afterall it was one of the two choices remaining when the team eliminated a few others. Not the only issue, but security concerns raised by GSA and FPS at the Federal building, as well as the FTA & FAA buildings meant that th...

Re: OFFICIAL - KC Star Printing Press
We get it. You hate it. Just say you're voting "no" already because it's pretty clear that's what you're going to do. I'm voting no, tomorrow probably. First in line. I have no problem avoiding the sportsball circlejerk. All I’m saying is consistency to an argument for a better neighborho...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Just woke up and checked the Facebook feed and friends of mine sharing outright ridiculous and bordering on aggressive anti stadium propaganda and these people I'd consider dyed in the wool Democrat voters. Just goes to show how embedded the suburban mentality is in this city and a near ignorance r...

Re: OFFICIAL - KC Star Printing Press
The purchase by McClatchey in 2006 was just as much a factor.
Can't help but think quality local ownership could have navigated the challenges better.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
That is it? Absolutely disgusting. Vote this bullshit down. I don’t get this. What’s the problem? It seems pretty minimally disruptive, compliments and expands the South Loop cap, doesn’t create an additional restaurant district to compete with the Crossroads, melds into the existing parking infras...

Re: Is the Streetcar Extension bringing new development as promised?
Interest rates, elevated construction costs, and yes, they want construction finished first. They want construction completed even before proposals? At this point I’d say most all construction will be completed by the end of the summer. Get your proposals in now to be ready for shovels in six month...

Re: GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Six years of Mahomes and I think we are finally starting to make at least some ground on that idea that KC is in Missouri though. All that work we've done is going to be undone by the University of Kansas football team playing in Kansas City, Missouri. It's going to break everyone's mind. :lol: Wel...

Re: SomeraRoad West Bottoms District
KC is so paranoid about potentially pissing off a developer on big project.
Totally lose perspective on the power dynamics.

Re: West Bottoms Redevelopment
I still can't believe it's happening.
Thought for sure it was one of those "Wouldn't it be cool..." ideas that never goes anywhere.
WB has a lot of energy at the moment.
