Re: Downtown New Residential Units

I'd have to say none were killed by KCT. They were killed by council people falling over themselves to prove sympathetic to KCT's goals, regardless of how ineffective its approach to increasing affordable housing and protecting renters is. They could have proposed policy changes that would work towa...

Re: OFFICIAL - Wallstreet Tower (formerly US Bank Tower)

Soft Kens and Karens. What does that even mean? Everyone I've seen called out as a Karen was a total bitch. Soft Ken? I have an idea of what you're referring to, but would love to hear you lay it out. Oh. You didn't mean for the adjective 'soft' to refer to Karens, right? Just Kens. In that case 'Ka...

Re: OFFICIAL: Port Authority Riverfront Project

Too bad. I thought it was a great use of the site. Some extra height in the new proposal would have been nice.

Re: OFFICIAL: Port Authority Riverfront Project

Why would the Authority agree to this? It makes it look like they just want to be done with the riverfront project and will accept any offer that will fill space.

Re: Former Kansas City Mayor Richard Berkley dies at 92

My sole memory of Berkley as mayor is that he was credited with losing the headquarters of the Presbyterian Church to Louisville by leaving the conference before it was over. KC was the site committees' choice and and supposedly had it in the bag. It would have gone into a renovated Muehlebach. Loui...

Re: VeLa Crossroads (Broadway and Southwest)

Perhaps the sight line restrictions only have teeth as long as Shirley Helzberg is alive. Perhaps it's being observed as a courtesy. I think the restrictions were at least partially responsible for the demise of a plan for a 17 story condo building on Broadway. Between 18th and 19th, I think, where ...

I really liked the looks of that project, but would be nice if the Port Authority could replace it with something taller.
