Re: Is KC Tenants destroying the development future of downtown KCMO?

This framing of me "continually arguing" with you is a little confusing, given that the sequence of posts here was CUA crediting developers for bringing down rents in Austin, Portland, and SF; me kinda "well actually"ing that; and then you jumping in to reply to me and complain a...

Re: Is KC Tenants destroying the development future of downtown KCMO?

You literally used the words "let the housing market function." If that's not what you actually meant, then fine, but it is what you said. Sure, you say zoning should be fixed but you continue to argue like it isn't absolutely necessary. I've already said it before, but I am all for revisi...

Re: Is KC Tenants destroying the development future of downtown KCMO?

In an obviously unsuccessful effort to keep these posts from spiraling to greater and greater lengths, I mostly skipped the quote and response format and just tried to sum up each point a little bit more briefly (still quoted a couple pieces that invited more direct responses).

Re: Is KC Tenants destroying the development future of downtown KCMO?

phuqueue, you are right that this left-right NIMBY alliance issue exists in many cities - that's why there is a nationwide housing shortage! I see you in other threads explaining to people that there are other more important reasons than KCT for the difficulty getting things built, but now you’re i...

Re: Is KC Tenants destroying the development future of downtown KCMO?

Because KCT thinks the market "won't work for everyone", they specifically attack that market and try and make it work worse for everyone. I guess what you are not getting is that their organization is actively trying to limit the addition of new supply to the KCMO housing market, because...

Re: Is KC Tenants destroying the development future of downtown KCMO?

I'm not really interested in rehashing the argument about what KCT does or doesn't really want. We just did it a few months ago and a few pages back, and I'm not aware of any new information that would change anything since then. Your arguments on the point are duly noted, mine already fill up pages...

Man if I had a nickel for every time somebody on this board misapplied "my logic" in trying to explain it back to me. Sure, I guess if you assume you can make valid apples-to-apples comparisons between literally any products, then you got me, but I'm not sure the fact that flat screen TVs ...

Re: Is KC Tenants destroying the development future of downtown KCMO?

The idea isn't really that developers will actively collude to keep rent high, it's that when rents begin to fall, the profit incentive shrinks, and if this becomes a persistent trend, developers will begin to exit the market until rents stabilize and then rise again. It doesn't mean overbuilding wo...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

My argument is very clear and has been for months... scratch that, years. A stadium in East Crossroads no doubt has immediate economic benefits.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

I'm starting to find it shocking that a few of you on here, a development forum, are pushing for suburban type, decentralized development simply because you want a hole filled. Spreading out the development does a few things. 1. Lowers density which can result in lower population density and maybe ...

Re: Is KC Tenants destroying the development future of downtown KCMO?

Explain to me how a development that doesn't directly displace anyone will cost KCT their homes. Why must the specific development "directly" displace someone for KCT to be concerned that it will ultimately cost them their homes? That seems like an exceptionally narrow way to look at the ...

Re: Is KC Tenants destroying the development future of downtown KCMO?

It's not going to cost them their homes. You know what will? Not building housing and letting our existing housing stock slowly rot. That will cost people their homes. Just look at the Eastside. And, social housing and the housing trust fund alone won't prevent that. There's not enough money there....
