Yeah, I spent years sitting on a local neighborhood board, I'm familiar. How many residents own their homes in the crossroads?DaveKCMO wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 5:10 pmDColeKC wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 4:44 pmWhat if you're wildly out of touch with the business owners and investors in the crossroads? A 18,000 capacity arena on your doorstep has only helped the area but a 30,000 capacity stadium that's even more active is going to ruin the neighborhood? We're building a park to connect PNL with Crossroads for a better overall downtown. There's a way to remove an eyesore (Star Press Bldg) that will never be repurposed, clear out some under-utilized areas and older non-historic buildings while adding density and driving hundreds of thousands of visitors to the area to spend money.
I just think you're upset someone didn't call you personally to ask if this was ok.
"Business owners and investors"? Is that all you think the Crossroads is? It's a neighborhood dude. So tone deaf, as is the lid conversation.
I don't need to advocate for the residents, you've been promising "a war" since this came about. I'm sure the residents will just absolutely hate being able to walk to a baseball game. I'm sure they'll just despise the new businesses this will bring to the area.
