Re: KC metro growth and migration stats
Does AT&T even use that monstrosity downtown for anything these days? Half of it has been boarded up on the lower floors for over a month and the building itself has never looked great. Town Pavillion was built for 100% ATT. Yes, I know, but they also have the older structure over behind T-Mobile t...

Re: Remodeling Town Pavillion
Terribly shortsighted. And, mediocre. Elaborate? Anytime you gloat about the removing and stripping away the only thing iconic you've got going... You're probably just screwing yourself over in the end. It is beyond ironic, and slightly moronic to hear them say "Improvements will ...include the rem...

Re: Politics
I mean Trump literally bragged that he just forces himself on women and your response in this thread was that it's never been "proven" that he actually did it, so you'll excuse me if I'm not super convinced of your purported openmindedness in this area. Egotistical men often brag or say they’ve don...

Re: Politics
What is the specific argument that justifies rural interests dominating policy in an urbanized country? A specific issue I could recognize is practically any firearm legislation. Most all legislation passed in an effort to restrict access to firearms comes from politicians coming from largely urban...

...there are overwhelming signs of majority support for Biden/Harris. And I do emphasize Harris, who brought a large number of supporters to the ticket. Where? I see no sort of "overwhelming sign of majority support" anywhere in the US or abroad. In fact, I barely see any actual, visible sign of su...

The fact that there's still people out there who believe that we can "stop" the spread of COVID and make it basically disappear is mind blowing.

Yeah, given that Trump done got himself COVID (as I predicted, just surprised it took this long) and is in a fairly high-risk category based on being an old fatass who snarfs more McDonald's cheeseburgers than a millennial posts pictures of avocado toast on instagram, and Biden is just Biden time u...

Re: New Broadway Bridge
Ask tourists how they feel. I'll give you a hint: NOBODY wants to move to a boring, chlorine clean city with no character. Architecture exists to attract. The failure to use attractive architecture has GENERATIONAL effects. And yet Levittown attracted tons of people... Literally never heard of it.

Re: OFFICIAL: Zona Rosa (tenants & phase II)
I don't think they ever had full occupancy on the northern half of the center. Went through it in maybe May and it was like downtown in 2000, tons of empty space. That's what happens when you build an isolated, suburban shopping district in a field bounded by highway. Zona Rosa was set up for failu...

Re: New Broadway Bridge
I like a pretty bridge as much as the next person, but what has the aesthetically pleasing Bond Bridge done to enhance downtown, the riverfront, or North Kansas City that a boring girder bridge wouldn't have also accomplished? To me, landmark bridges are like tall buildings in the skyline. They loo...

Re: Politics
It’s ok to talk about how black men are 3 times more likely to be shot by a cop but don’t mention the fact they commit a disproportionate amount of the crime. The US is about 73% white, 13% black This is FBI data on arrests by race from 2017 https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2017/crime-in-the-u....
