I’d say the real stain is that the crossroads is so underdeveloped and low rise that a mere 12 story building can dominate its skyline. If you don’t like it, bury it!

The more guns you add to a situation, then the more guns are in the situation. Wild west logic

I’m sure settlers in 1870s town of kansas thought the same thing when they flung that new bridge over the river and built the big train shed in the bottoms

Why did iowa get the job of printing papers from now on? Is the facility up there way better than the Star pavilion was? That has always confused me

Wasn't the plan all along for the northernmost span to be demo'd, even if the bridge was staying? I didn't think they could make the connection from the new bridge to 169 north of the river with the old span in place. You are correct. Even the renderings of it turned into a park showed that span gone

Are other developed countries like this? Where if a city isn’t just totally rockin economically it just stops being able to function?

KC isn’t even close to the worst example of this; how many bankrupt Detroits does the rest of the first world have?

It’s called a

Uh

I've been using the airport more and I think the criticism is mostly off base. It's a very nice airport. I traveled with my parents recently who are perfectly mobile but getting up there in age and they asked why there weren't more moving walkways. I think that's a legit critique now after spending...

This is what we're supposed to be mad about? What is you people's problem? Honestly!

If KC isn’t declaring rivals and tearing their hearts out, then we’re doomed!! /sarcasm

I walk past this building every day and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen any sign of construction. I know it’s all interiors but there should’ve been a dumpster

Godspeed to them though

KC leaders should stand up to MODOT eminent domaining chunks of downtown. KC leaders should NOT be asking for more lanes to induce more traffic and eat more urban land

I think the fact that all the hotels proposed downtown pre-pandemic still haven’t restart, despite the incoming world cup and extremely frequent events downtown, as well as a (seemingly) recovering tourism sector is pretty wild to me, and I think demonstrates that there’s something deeper up with do...

Maybe if we didn't insist on shoving traffic through construction sites, things might be able to a bit faster

Any indoor market subsidized by the city should be in the city market

This building should be lit up like the P&L building. One of our best skyscrapers

This can't seriously be torn down, right? That is absolutely insane and makes me not want to come on here to learn about depressing things like this. Gas lines shut off and barrier fence up. No one’s paying attention. Our leaders are too busy watching the Chiefs games and promoting their jobs after...
