Bunch is probably trying the same thing but I'm not sure he catches anything. Maybe, a transportation middle manager for Buttigeig. Who...

Did 51 Oak Whoke Food Apartment's get a tax incentive? Or no taxes as it’s UMKC owned land?

Re: Generic ongoing KCATA thread

Re: Four Light

But those issues were not found for decades post construction. And Kansas City’s special testing and inspections requirements during the construction process are what really catch those sorts of issues well before there is a major problem.
