If KC adds London, what would be the next international city they'd pivot to wanting to add? Paris? They can’t support two. Maybe Mexico City? Some southern hub? KC alone was sending 700 a day to Europe during the summer pre-Covid. About 1400 including Omaha, Des Moines, Witchita, etc. KC could fil...

They’re getting mighty aggressive in US expansion it seems.

That was a Covid suspension they’re bringing back on.

It always amazes me that certain people don’t want to just hate things, but they want other people to hate them too.

Excited for this project. Thanks for the pictures and updates Anthony.

For one, it's not daily nonstop, it's 4x. I buy the $3 million government number. I'd want to see the jobs Ohio information. The jobs Ohio info is in the document in that tweet. And I’m sure it won’t be full amount. It will be prorated based on the percent of daily they fly. Sure, I'd just like to ...

Hmm, I'm not sure I buy that number.

the popular assumption is SW would connect more people here (and away from like a Denver or STL). Probably about all that can be expected unless a new airline comes in or something like Alaska tries to expand east and wants to use us as a new connection point. Yeah, I was thinking more about the in...

All lots owned by the Kempers.

Yeah, I would find it hard to do in this case. But you do you! happy to have all plans explored.

For people that know more about this than me, how much more connecting traffic should we expect? Is there any incentive to route more traffic through KCI now? My assumption is no because is KC mostly functions as getting people to heavily traveled tourist destinations or the big hubs. We're surround...

The north loop doesn't exist.

To be fair: A lot of people want to build around the PAC but Kauffman and related parties have always refused to sell their land or they block the construction of things to the south. EPC and Hotel Bravo are the first time these groups have ok’d something and even then it’s for projects at the far ...

I'm out of my element here, but women's sports succeed when they are funded and supported. There are groups here that fund and support women's soccer. The same with tennis. The same with skating. Same with swimming. And so on. That's why the us consistently does great at these sports. I can't think ...

I’m not sure I’ve heard anyone use the word woke in the past few years that doesn’t just mainline certain media into them. That aside, women sports are fun! I can’t speak for basketball, but where sports fail it’s normally do to a lack of investment and availability. Watching elite athletes at the p...

We’re getting pretty off subject here (my fault!), but I think also having a better mix of flags would be helpful.

But yes, need a 5 star. I’d describe the hotels downtown as connecting or boutique, but not really any luxury high end.

I think that if you put up a baseball stadium in the East Village, you will see rapid development of 5-6 story apartment building blocks east of 70. Especially if something is done to improve the east loop. Something similar to all the new low rise development on the other side of Coors Field in De...

Another dude that doesn’t like women’s sports. Anything else you want to educate us on?

I agree with grid.

Also, we haven't seen anything from the royals yet. There's still a real chance they'll try to surround it with parking lots.

Let's see development plans.

I just don't get it. The NFL has a salary cap and money is distributed fairly evenly. Most owners take money out of the club. I understand franchises are a scarce resource so we have to compete to keep them. But here we're effectively spending money to give the hunt family more money. No one is argu...
