The "Trump Economy" was mainly built on unnecessary tax cuts and stimulus when at the time the US should have been raising taxes and cutting debt since the strong economy (that he inherited from Obama) was on the up and up in preparation for an eventual downturn. Except, you know, he did exactly the...

There is a similarly ugly Longlines building in Manhattan as well. It's a prime location, so would be really positive if it is transformed to residential and the nearby jail can be consolidated to a regional justice center in another location.

Please tell me that McD in downtown Chicago did not come at the expense of the rock and roll McDonald's. It did :( Also - there's a Portillos with a drive through in downtown Chicago that always backs up into the street. Im not sure if you'd qualify that as 'fast' food (it's an institution like Pin...

New Advance KC document related to this project - it looks like it went from 12 stories to 7 (5 stories of apts over 2 of garage). The owner of the land, 3D Development, will give the land to Greystar Development in exchange for 150 parking spaces for 2101 Broadway, presumably opening up space for ...

So, would there be a CID district on each side of 670 to help pay for this? With how cheap capital is and more projects inbound, it seems like a great idea and time.

I don't think the STL project will happen but that's not the point. This sort of plan would look great at the Rivefront. However, I think that I'd rather see RF built out quickly with 7-11 floor buildings than slowly with highrises. I'm not disagreeing but this is where code runes into reality. The...

Here is a look at the site plan for the proposed outdoor music venue: https://i.imgur.com/ioqK5aj.png Thanks KCtoBrooklyn. Where exactly are the neighbors that are concerned regarding sound? Sounds like traffic is their biggest concern tbh. If you look at the satellite, the area is directly adjacen...

Damn, that is a handsome looking home.

Progress on new houses on Mount Hope. Looking northeast at 23rd and Tracy.

Thanks for all the great pictures, Fang.

A small two story bank with drive through and substantial surface parking vs. 5 story apartment building. Just because the building was old, it was not historically significant nor was it the overall best use case for the area. Agree with preserving and renovating existing buildings, but adding dens...

Buildings 3 and 4 are set to open within the next month or two. The gated offices are standard for all campuses pursuant to Cerner's security requirements that we are audited on. Cerner WHQ is not gated due to the nature of the business there. I have no inside knowledge re: the overall project. I do...

Subscribed for the future TIF/Historic tax credit application for Aquarium re-use.

"KC ZOO @ THE XROADS coming soon!"

Looking at the site yesterday, I really really wish this could just become a small park, bluff and all. The Power and Light building is just so cool and powerful looking. You can appreciate the building even more now that the South face is exposed. A really interactive park with some great landscap...

Colorado is invading Westport. Just need to open a few dispensaries and it's basically Boulder. Is there a lot of fights and violence in Boulder? :lol: come on, WP is not that bad, just gets a lot of negative PR. Maybe the weed would help chill the agitators down? Or at least increase dessert sales...

Speaking of neighborhoods with weird paths in/out, this hidden thing off of Staley Rd: It's barely evident anyone lives there from (what I perceive to be) the main entrance (Cypress) I wonder if in the future that is supposed to be the back entrance if Shoal Creek is built out to the north. Anyways...

Additional Neighborhood "Eagle Point Preserve" in Shoal Creek Valley and smaller strip mall and office development. Roads look about complete when I drove by, I would say foundations should start going in when it thaws. All treed lots that are golf course facing look to be spoken for. https://i.imgu...

There is NO way the MO SC would hear this case I think. There is no unique question of law or fact here. Adverse possession is a fun question back on my law school tests. "Owner X was knowingly and deliberately mowing and putting fencing around Y's land for 30 years, Y who didn't know about it etc. ...

Quinton Lucas: Taxes for transit, incentives for developers: Heck no, we need to prioritize trash service and potholes.

Quinton Lucas: More taxes for (campaign supporters)firefighters and sports stadiums - - Hecka yea!

I would like to see some data regarding the amount of money put in to the Northland vs. how much revenue is generated. With the e-tax, the city is still able to capture a fair amount of revenue but I am near certain it won't cover the expense involved in taking care of that huge amount of land. The...
