Well, once a decision is made and if that decision isn't EV, you'd think the land bankers would have no reason to sit on it anymore and could get started on development. It's only never been developed because they've been planning for a baseball stadium for the last decade. This would allow them to...

If should easily qualify for a rezoning. If the neighborhood was serious about not wanting it gone, then they'd all pony up to save it. You can't expect someone with an offer for more money on the table, to go with the offer for less. Would you sell your own home for less? It will face serious hurd...

Downtown KC is not unique in this sense. As with nearly every urban problem (homelessness, crime, STRs, etc.), all we have to do is look at cities that are a little larger than us. Their issues and problems are heading our way, as we are typically just behind the curve. We can learn from them, but w...

And again, deal of the century! This was my loft. Built as a bachelor pad and then modified when my girlfriend (now, wife) moved in. It is a live/work true loft with a private garage entry, along with another private entry through the alley. It is mostly accessible and could be fully accessible with...

The KC Star article Sunday is making me anxious to see the Neon Alley. It will be like a light therapy session. Aside from restored vintage signs what is there to see of neon in KC? I have seen neon used in modern architecture and design in other cities, are there any examples in the KC metro? LED ...

I'm surprised so many of these new developments in the WB are able to get insurance while located in a flood plain.

NKC is blowing elsewheres out of the water.

As Walt Bodine would say, "You betcha!"

The city (via the HAKC) operates one of the least dense, suburban style housing projects in the urban core just north of Columbus Park. https://i0.wp.com/urbanangle.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Guinotte-Manor-Today.jpg I agree with you that it was a mistake. Especially now in light of the lack of...

The Housing Authority put an RFP out on the 6 acres and the deadline was supposedly back in February. There hasn't been any news so they are either still reviewing the RFP, or didn't get any acceptable submissions. https://kcrag.com/viewtopic.php?t=21339&hilit=6+acres&start=20 They narrowed...

It's part of a larger plat already under LCRA control. There were proposals to move it under the new Broadway bridge. It's actually controlled by the Housing Authority and they have bungled it for the past 20+ years. The LCRA has nothing to do with it that section, which is about 6 acres. The propo...

My loft condo will be for sale within a month. DM for more info.

Funny enough, they are calling it a "Historic Groundbreaking".

It is difficult not to laugh at the wheel. It is borderline embarrassing.

I've been out of town for 2 weeks and just saw it yesterday, upon my return. I couldn't believe it is white. It's gonna get dirty, fast. You would think they would have painted it. Missed opportunity.

Ding Dong, the witch is dead.

I saw both of the Price Brothers outside with polaroid cameras taking pictures of the graffiti to prove that it is blighted, and a threat to the safety of pedestrians, and therefore must be torn down. OK, this is a pretty bizarre statement. For one thing, the "Price Brothers" were the fou...

Most things in KC move at an achingly slow pace. The development I expected to happen in Columbus Park 20 years ago is just now happening. Regarding bike lanes, an amazing thing happened to me yesterday. I've been riding the the full length of the Gillham track a few times a week since it opened. EV...

Yes, the obvious solution. I cross that signalized intersection in car, on bike and on foot quite often and people are driving way above the posted speed limit. I don't understand why KCMO makes it so difficult to put in speed bumps. It is the easiest and cheapest and most effective solution to get...
