Council also will review $2.6M funding deal for SomeraRoad’s demo tomorrow.
@EricWBunch says state preemption of how much KC can fine negligent building owners here and elsewhere Downtown is partly to blame for city’s need to shoulder costs — “We don’t have a stick, so to speak.”

So are we going to have to pay to take these buildings down in a couple years?

Graffiti all over the main street side of this corner

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.

Is civil seizure out of the question yet?

I don’t think this city is going to be able to make much progress if it continues to be unable to deal with this type of landowner

OK, this is a pretty bizarre statement. For one thing, the "Price Brothers" were the founders – only one is still alive and is in his 90's and has no ownership interest in this building. If you are referring to the next generation, there are three brothers and they own two different companies.

I'm pretty certain the building is owned by "Price Management" (Doug) and not "Price Brothers", which is now a separate company.

Polaroid cameras don't really exist anymore except for knock-offs, which are used exclusively by kids and hipsters.

How would you know the reasons for them taking the photos? Did they tell you?

Maybe Chris Sally can save the historic buildings and also develop the remaining parcels with taller TOD.

Not sure if he's teasing that or just referencing his Seiden's property in this tweet.
