Sounds like a calculated effort to increase assessments (or create the appearance of this) in middle/upper class neighborhoods to counteract the disproportionate impact of the 2019 assessments on working class neighborhoods... There is no way they are going to be able to repair this focking mess be...

Jackson County Property Owners Can Expect More Reassessment Problems, Including Another Tax Hike Taxpayers will need to brace themselves for another rocky reassessment in 2021 and perhaps beyond, Schulte said, explaining that county data points toward big assessment hikes in eight county neighborhoo...

Whether you Love football or hate it, these guys are one super bad ass team. Incredible is even a more suitable description. The comebacks have been unbelievable. When these guys decide to go berserk on you watch out.

You mean that the millions spent and all the hype claimed by the "Visitor's Bureau" about KCMO being the center of the whole world and even the president still thinks the town is in Kansas?

Let's just see if we can get the airport done without going bankrupt. Then we can fantasize about downtown baseball.

Who is going to pay for this?

You never know maybe in 100 years Downtown to the Plaza will look and feel like New York City.

Genuinely curious about the quote that this is a systemic, planned thing. A home builder in one hood being "whacked over the head" back in 2013 told a resident next door to his project that "the city asked us to make the neighborhood more upscale" when she started asking questio...

That's history.

Get it done. Open it. Don't lose sleep if the windows aren't as high as you'd like or there isn't a fountain out front. Make it clean. Have lots of women's bathrooms. Have lots of men's bathrooms. Have some food. That's about it. I and lots of other visitors will like it just fine. KC needs to over...

Reduced speed limits all across the city, bring back red light cameras (heavy fines no excuses) and a major beef up of the traffic enforcement department (radar - tickets that hurt) at KCPD.

The law of diminishing returns

37th and Wyoming

This forum is about development, not observations of driving habits. Try https://www.reddit.com/r/kansascity/. It is related. Does the City Council even bother to scrutinize the idiotic traffic studies developers submit and the impact is is going to have on everyone? I don't think they do because I...

I avoid that ridiculous strip as much as possible anymore. Approving that QT expansion was one of the worst decisions City Hall has ever made.

I saw two cars rip right through a red light at the intersection of Westport Rd. and Roanoke by the QT insane asylum earlier. In heavy traffic. Speeders and people cutting off others and other blatant acts of disregard for the safety of others. Totally out of control.

What is it going to take?

"Not an exaggeration to call it lawlessness." What in the hell are we going to do about this craziness? It's getting worse. I mean really bad.

After everyone's property tax checks have been accounted for and cashed.
