Wasn’t Larks the company that was going to take the TopGolf space in Wall Street Tower? Yes. However, that proposal was blown out of proportion and was nowhere near ever happening. It's 100% dead now. Larks is a vaporware entertainment concept. They have no actual, physical locations and no sign of...

Because KCT thinks the market "won't work for everyone", they specifically attack that market and try and make it work worse for everyone. I guess what you are not getting is that their organization is actively trying to limit the addition of new supply to the KCMO housing market, because...

This would be unfortunate as he's about the only person doing anything in City Hall these days. City Hall as a whole is extremely dysfunctional.. and without him I am sure it would only be worse.

Yes, I would love if we could get KCT support for aspects of this reform program. But I think it is clear at this point that they have ideological reasons to want the private market for housing development to work worse, not better. Because they don't want a functioning private housing market at al...

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"...

KC is Kull.

Just set up a smart switch to randomly kill your router's power after work hours and give yourself a break from the internet every once in awhile.

Then join the local home theater enthusiast group. You'll be plenty happy.

I see some ppl on social media calling for the plaza to be demolished to make way for a new Royals stadium. Really? Really!? People really don't appreciate what we have. The Plaza as a built-environment is nearly perfect. (ample parking that is all hidden away, beautiful landscaping, attractive bui...

Hartzel is out for sporting. Fired. Good. His frivolous complaints and spreading of lies over the Pennway Point Ferris Wheel proved to me that he wasn’t a serious person. Should’ve been kicked to the curb then. Best news I’ve heard today. He's also a key cog for KC Tenants and an awfully hypocritic...

Charges filed and a couple of arrests made (unfortunately only for 2 of the 4 shooters) relating to the Jan 17th shooting that injured 6 people at Crown Center. I really hope we can get this stuff under control. Already seeing more flight from the plaza, CC, and downtown now. Need to change the narr...

They are making the level 100 concourse full suites all the way around from what I know. Why? Who wants to spend top dollar on a suite behind everyone standing up in the place normally reserved for the Dippin Dot vendor? Put suites all in 200 level where you can be in your suite for entertainment a...

GRID made a good point in the Chiefs Stadium thread about how John Sherman will spend a lot more private money on the Royals Stadium and District than the $300 Million the Hunts will throw into the Arrowhead renovation. And the Hunts have far more money than the Shermans. And from what we've heard ...

KC Tenants has made very public statements against this development. They also have a very public policy for seeking social housing.. not affordable housing. Literal social housing. It's in their mission statement. https://www.dwell.com/article/kansas-city-tara-raghuveer-kc-tenants-social-housing-d...

The anti sales tax vote people, and those who are so hellbent on anything even remotely related to being against this proposal, are some of the most obnoxious and vile people on social media these days. Seriously, WTF is the problem with these people? And I don't mean people like Dave who have genu...

When will the city stop being held hostage and admit that killing developments off isn't the solution?

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...

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. Read more at...

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...

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. Sources: https://clerk.kcmo.gov/Legislation.aspx , Cityscene, https://kctenants.org/press I think you are making the common mis...
