KCRag Forum

lol, imagine being flabbergasted that an organization made up mainly of low income volunteers was not interested in spending its limited resources helping "wealthy tenants in affluent areas and nice buildings." Maybe the wealthy tenants should consider pooling their resources to hire a law...

You got me. I am actually DCole's sockpuppet.

I’m not going to waste my time reading a post from, or be lectured by, someone whose username is literally “fuck you”. :roll: A bit of hyperbole there. KC Tenants need to stick to representing tenants and making life better for them. They absolutely do not understand supply and demand (or maybe the...

We need to be build more housing, not less. We need the market to flood with new residential units to meet demand in order to prevent rent from increasing. But landlords don't want to prevent rent from increasing. The developers and landlords on this forum of all people should understand that your ...

After several years of following this topic, KCRAG remains the only place I have ever seen people complain about KC tenants. Anyone I know irl who has any opinion on them sees them in a positive light, which makes the vitriol on this board all the more alarming. I’m not even a direct supporter of t...

Twitter/X, like Reddit, will continue being a massively used social media platform despite the rise of copycats. When others require you to have a code to join and others are tailored to folks of specific political leanings, most will just stick to the existing. They're familiar, people know how to...

Cordish was a hundred years old when the deal was stuck, so I find it hard to believe they staked the entire company's continued existence ("risked it all") on this one deal, but hey, maybe they did, I don't know. It wouldn't move me either way. Business deals are supposed to entail risk. ...

I'm not sure I'd say that Cordish "risked it all." The city is the one picking up the tab for P&L's revenue shortfall. The city is the one who hired the firm who organized the tax revenue projections. I’m not sure how that is any developers fault. No other developer stepped up after a...

I'm not sure I'd say that Cordish "risked it all." The city is the one picking up the tab for P&L's revenue shortfall.

We're not just talking about who will "benefit" from the park, though. You said on the last page that Cordish should "have a say in its design" just because they've invested other money downtown, so I think Roo's comment that their investment was city-subsidized and for-profit is...

You keep using the word "investment," which is correct, but the way you use it makes it seem like you think it means "donation," which is not.

I realize this is sacrilegious and all, and in fairness I've only been to Texas once so it was all on the same trip, but I was in Austin for work a few years ago, got barbecue at three different places all recommended by locals (though not Franklin's, which was also recommended by locals, but, well:...

Who else is there to better answer why we can't fill those roles than those currently in them or those who recently left them? 43% of the officers who left the Portland PD said the "defund" movement and how they were treated by the local government was a major factor in them leaving. Acco...

The actual evidence is the responses they're getting from potential recruits and those who are leaving the profession. Also, most PD's are not asking for more money, they're not using this staffing shortage to get a larger budget, they'd just like to fill the existing roles they have open with the ...

There is abundant independent evidence of climate change, not just scientists saying "trust us, this is definitely happening." Cops complaining that they can't hire new cops because of anti-cop sentiment don't seem to be presenting any actual evidence to substantiate that claim, they're ju...

It’s not about “admitting.” I think it would be great if the left had a fraction of the power you attribute to it. If the police were willfully defunding themselves because they had been cowed by the defund movement, that would be super cool. Not as cool as a deliberate, democratically-controlled de...

Well I for one am shocked that a bunch of cops think the problem with their profession is that people are too mean to cops

It's more than sufficient to respond to the point that "you might die at work" Not really. It's sufficient to try and make your point but most people don't leave for work each day knowing that they might have to try and save a life by risking their own. And yet the entire defund movement ...

It's more than sufficient to respond to the point that "you might die at work"

According to BLS , refuse and recyclable material collectors are 2.5x more likely to die on the job than cops. I guess if you want to define "more dangerous" in a way that somehow excludes the risk of death, then sure, continue to not know that trash collectors have a more dangerous job th...
