Re: Phase 2 streetcar to UMKC

NFL stadiums downtown are dead zones, keep it out there. Baseball with 80 games and smaller footprint and less parking needs is a bit better. Oh for sure, I don't want the chiefs downtown. I was referring to the chiefs having any interest in helping with rail to the current complex. Royals are comp...

Re: Phase 2 streetcar to UMKC

I think people overestimate the interest of the chiefs and royals in giving up parking revenue, let alone funding it.

The chiefs especially. They already have a full stadium so can't attract more people and for their fan base there is little appeal.

Re: Phase Three Streetcar Expansion

I agree with more vehicles. Getting the headways under ten minutes makes a huge difference. Even if you just miss one then and it's a nice day, you stroll to the next station. Or just wait.

It's a killer when you walk out of some place and see a ~15 wait though.

Re: OFFICIAL - Reverb (1800 Walnut)

That’s close to what I negotiated at my place when they started leasing. I have no idea why they wouldn’t match. It’s a nice place.

They really fucked up the roof.

Our good friends public works Nooo I want a good explanation, please don't let it be this.

Re: KCMO Downtown Streetcar

Something that drives me crazy but I am sure there is a reason for. I’ll use the northbound crossroads stop as an example. The streetcar constantly gets stopped at the 19th st red light only to finally cross the street and immediately stop again for the crossroads stop. Someone please explain to me...

Re: Phase Three Streetcar Expansion

Man, that picture just shows that there is no density going north. I'd be very reluctant to fund that.

I still think east is the way to go if you're going to do anything.

Re: COVID19

The argument just fails. Coronaviruses have been around and are well understood.

It’s already mutating everywhere because it’s spreading so fast.

It’s a silly argument. Please, for the love of god, get vaccinated.

Re: New Broadway Bridge

Opinions are great and I don’t disagree completely, but we have to work with what the feds and modot give us.

Remember there were only two options:

1) this
2) what we have now

Most people think allowing the chance for removal of the north loop is more important

Re: COVID19

From what I’ve read, all the vaccines show significant coverage against hospitalization or death, even amongst the variants. If people are going to make bold claims, I think it’s important to back them up with research and not just a level of “some dude on Facebook told me.” This is how conspiracy t...

Re: OFFICIAL - KC Star Printing Press

Yeah none of this seems in the core competency of any person or entity here that I can think of. I have no idea what to do with this building.

I think some of the ideas here are a little too “shit kcrag thinks is cool” and less sustainable stuff.

Reading that letter I thought they were going to come out against it and was preparing myself to be angry.

I don’t find much merit in their objections, especially to the scale. But happy they’re not opposing.

I’ll be anxious to hear how you like it.

The last place I lived went all in on short term stays and rentals like this to the point I went insane. It was a big reason I decided to move.

I’d be careful getting back into that mess again.
