For such a terrible thread title this has been a very interesting discussion

^ interesting considerations KC has for 80+ years featured those "beautiful single-family neighborhoods" -- I believe we are discussing Brookside and "Country Club"/ Sunset Hill. For the first 40 years of existence, those same 'hoods had an excellent high school (KC Southwest). ...

They announce they finalized the CBA but don't release a document. JFC. These guys are not making it easy on themselves. People have unreasonably high expectations.

I don’t disagree with this. I do think the startup scene in KC is not what it was a decade ago. However, KC continues to grow at a healthy rate. Anyway back to Austin, I was just saying that policies such as ending minimum parking requirements, eliminating single-family zoning and allowing up to thr...

Sad to hear this. Their prices to get to Boston were incredible and I leveraged that for a few Europe trips.

Multifamily construction starts forecasted to rise in 2024 but that drop from 2021 to 2023 is tough

Why only 9?
How do you arrive at 9?
This is 16 units in what is right now the densest residential area of the city. How is this even a discussion?

The city will probably issue municipal bonds that shouldn’t be paid for by the tax payers. On another topic. Have the Royals released to the public what is their planned timeline for the promised development and what its contemplated composition would be? Yes I believe it was opening day 2028
