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.

I think you are making the common mistake of minimizing their negative impacts. It's an easy mistake to make when viewing through too narrow a lens.
No one is minimizing anything here, more so stating there have been other factors at play. I’m probably one of the more outspoken critics of KCT on here, and even I have a hard time believing they’ve directly led to the demise of 19 projects. Now them speaking out against 19 projects is different than them rallying against, and having an incentive sealed torpedoed for a project, in the case of MAC.
I think we’re just moreso asking to see a compiled list of all projects cancelled, and the communication that demonstrates that KCT directly led to it.
Are you viewing KCT & the KC Public School District the same? That is an integral question to preface this discussion with.
Here's a sampling of projects they've opposed that have had major delays or cancellations because of their opposition:
Lux Riverfront
Freighthouse Village
Katz Redevelopment (Main & Westport)
Wonderland (19th & Broadway)
City Harvest (5th & Main)
Mac Developemtn (Armour & Main)
ATT HQ Residential Conversion (8th & Locust)
KCATA High-Rise (10th & Main)
KC Royals Ballpark (East Village)
Ascend at River Market (Fmr. Defeo Tower (Oak & Third))
KC Current Village
The Midland Lofts (1221 Baltimore)
Parker Square Apartments
Old KCPS Headquarters
4711 Belleview
74 Broadway - Waldo Proposal (47th & Broadway)
Bravo Hotel
Don't forget about the:
-2021 affordable housing set aside or contribute to housing trust fund
-KC Tenants activists blockading an entrance to The Jackson County Courthouse to shut down eviction court proceedings
-KCT flooding virtual court hearings with calls
--virtual eviction hearings were shut down as a result
-KCT infiltration of development and taxing authority boards
