"Beacon Hill residents against proposed apartments in neighborhood"
40 Units proposed for 27th St between Forest and Tracy
Also, a rezoning request was recently filed for 2732 Forest for a 57 unit apartment building. I think this might be for expansion of housing for Amethyst Place.

Love the people in yet-unbuilt homes already "concerned" about traffic.

Re: Beacon Hill
Welcome House men's substance abuse treatment center erecting new building on corner of 27th and West Paseo. 4 houses being built at 30th and Tracy, across the street from Troost Park. Probably first new single family homes in south Beacon Hill in a century.

Re: Beacon Hill
Looks like a solid project. Wish they were only using the alley access, but not that big a deal here

Re: Beacon Hill
Nice. A modern colonnade in scale and arrangement, but without the columns.

Along with this and the new men's building at 27th and West Paseo, 27th between Paseo and Troost is becoming recovering drug row.

There are 16 recovery centers in Malibu, California, and the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, CA, is next to the Rancho Mirage Country Club and several others. Having them doesn't appear to have a negative effect.

Re: Beacon Hill
There's also people shitting on the streets in those same areas. California is just plain trashy, as is most of the West Coast. Of course there's no negative effect to that trashiness to the residents, who, are used to that social norm. The Midwest is a completely different environment. People here take care of and cut their lawns. Pick up trash. Use public toilets that are actually, toilets. Etc.

Dude, there is litter all over the place here.

Re: Beacon Hill
Great to hear they're making progress. KC needs more assets like this to try to get ahead or keep up with issues like this that will only increase as more people move to the city and area.Cratedigger wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2023 9:55 amOn today's CPC docketChris Stritzel wrote: ↑Mon Nov 14, 2022 7:42 pm Development plan submitted for 26 apartments in a 3-story building + two, 6-unit townhouse buildings on 28th at Tracy.

Re: Beacon Hill
I literally watched a guy let his golden retriever shit in the middle of the sidewalk in the Freight House District and walk away from it. He fully saw me there looking at him with my large group and if I had not been trying to keep up with that group I would have confronted him. I was fuming for like two days over it. It is a big problem, there is new dog shit in front of my house in Volker every few days.Cratedigger wrote: ↑Wed Jun 07, 2023 7:58 pmDog shit downtown is a greater problem here than any other city I’ve lived in

Re: Beacon Hill
There should be lots of public bathrooms. It should be a whole new industry and employ lots of people to maintain and clean them. The homeless problem is huge and not easy to solve, maybe even impossible. But for godsake, our tax dollars and the city should provide them the dignity of having a bathroom and shower. It is not that hard.

1. Get employed if not already. 2. Obtain housing. 3. Use facilities in said housing.taxi wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2023 12:35 pm There should be lots of public bathrooms.
