Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
^ Good question and just expand that to any other property that doesn't want to sell. While you're at it, please explain how a baseball stadium is public use.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I try to stay out of this, but I guess I can't help myself. Let's look at the most likely scenario, if "they" choose EC... The public (county voters) is already on the fence about a new stadium and extension of sales tax; There will be the use of eminent domain or, at the very least, the t...

Re: Status and future of the River Market area??
There is an application in early stages for a liquor store with the creative name of River Market Liquor, at 114 W 5th St. I believe this is the All Nations Flag location. Do RM liquor licenses still get consent from adjacent property owners? Or did the city ditch that like they did in the loop? It...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I don't expect anything out of you, but I did at least expect you to know how more about golf before suggesting 845 yards is even remotely close a par 3. Sorry for any spelling mistakes, hard to type with a mouthful! I am a shitty golfer but if I hit my driver off the roof of the Star building, the...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I can't believe the shit some of you raggers are saying in support of this site. GRID, what a disappointment. What if it was just 14 businesses? And 14 owners who have redeveloped their buildings?

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
The use of eminent domain may, indeed, be imminent but it is still a bonehead move in the case of the E. Xroads site.

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
I think lots of folks, including those who know nothing, underestimate how the public looks unfavorably on the use of eminent domain. It is unpopular and a dangerous addition to an already difficult argument (public financing of the stadium, even if just a fraction). It is also incredibly expensive ...

Re: Misc Crossroads News
I call BS on that. Property owners are not going to neglect their properties in hopes that the next buyer can pursue tax abatement with blight as a factor and maybe get a higher sale price. That would be one dumb-assed strategy to make money in real estate. Receiving tax abatement is tenuous, at bes...

Re: Misc Crossroads News
CPC denied blight designation. I'd recommend people watch the discussion to gauge the current temperature of the CPC. https://www.youtube.com/live/w8mvIM0iU44?t=2015 Can you summarize in a couple of words (for those of us who don't quite have the time to watch the video?)

Re: Downtown Buildings with Activity
Not sure that has impact of what took so long to reopen the Hampton though which is what I think their question was. Yes, KCP, it opened and then flooded not long after. It's the re-opening that blew my mind, took even longer than the original full rehab. Had tubes coming out of it for quite a whil...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium
Just my experience, but sentiment on East Side for any stadium tax is negative be it county, city, extension of 3/8. Think the K has concrete problems, how about concrete sidewalks that have dissolved into random fragments? Park and Blvd hardscapes damaged by car wrecks that never gets repaired bec...
