Re: Regional Transit Coordination
Patterson Hazley is not anti-development. I'm curious to know what kind of policies she is considering, which may include something for vacant buildings. I think she also plans to have a forum for developers to understand their roadblocks. If you follow her on X, she's very suburban-style developme...

Can we just copy London Printworks for the Star building?

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If the Royals play well against the Mets and White Sox (next 6 games), the stands better be more full for the home stand against the Orioles. You don't know our pain as Royals fans. We are bitter fucks and will not believe they're winners until after the All Star break. I'd be happy to make it out ...

Smart. Get the team before you build the arena, otherwise you probably won’t get one.

Yep, they stuck their foot in the door and the Royals got mesmerized by a shiny ball that wasn't attainable.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
A lot of captured energy in Star press pavilion, which is actually quite beautiful despite being a disaster at the ground level. Would be a phenomenal waste of resources to demolish. I’ve felt this too though thought I was probably the only one. People need to have more vision for reusing buildings.

Re: T-Mobile Center (formerly Sprint Center)
KC misses out again. Arizona Coyotes going to Utah. Utah had an organized onwership group. Can't miss a shot you dont even take Article I saw said still negotiating with the NHL and they aren’t happy with the current Delta Center in SLC in its current setup. They do have support from their governor...

Re: Regional Transit Coordination
The density argument seems obvious to me and I'm not clear on what the disagreement is for bfa. Increased density = more people in the same space. A thousand people paying a tax will generate less money than ten thousand people paying the same tax. What am I missing here? I'm sure there is a tiny e...

Re: Regional Transit Coordination
When revenues under the current taxing rate increases, I am certain we will generally raise more total $ of taxes so that we can either improve existing services and infra or have more to spend on new investments (ie transit) Ok, I understand your point. I probably wouldn’t agree, but it’s beside t...

Re: Regional Transit Coordination
The suburbs are incentivized to the hilt. But urban development spreads those same service annd infra costs across an much greater number of residents. Also, prop tax abatement for a period still leaves you with all the benefits of sales and income tax. I understand the argument for density but do ...

There becomes a very real risk that the continued overloaded sales taxes will start to stifle the city economy. We have to find a new way to fund initiatives without carry on with the "Just add a sales tax!". Cough cough density cough cough state support We will never get anything from th...

Re: Regional Transit Coordination
Lucas does not want to continue subsidizing other communities that choose not to invest in transit. Understandable. I’m not sure pulling kcmo’s funds will do anything to get them to pledge more dollars though. For the love of god, do transit funding at the county level like a normal community. All ...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
The Royals are looking good so far. How do people think that will effect the new stadium? I've started thinking this as well. I think it'll help. Nobody will want to lose the Royals out of KC if they're actually good. And people know that losing a second vote means the team will move. The Royals ar...

Re: Westport
I don't know if you can change the entrenched view of what Westport is. Even if you attract more social dining places, you're still going to have guys fighting in the street and others just being dumb drunks. No one wants to a nice restaurant in that atmosphere.

Re: OFFICIAL: H&R Block HQ
^^ Yes, agree with this. The Light towers are nice but I really wouldn’t call them”luxury” in any normal city sense. Drawing this ultra-high end resident is about more than status as a city. It brings jobs. I think this is one reason for the Royals wanting to relocate downtown. I think I saw that th...

Re: OFFICIAL: H&R Block HQ
In KC's case, anything is better than empty buildings, but I would hate to see one of KC's only modern class A office buildings turn residential. Not suggesting turning H&R Block building into residential. That’d make no sense. I’m suggesting not chasing businesses with massive incentives and i...
