How much is the city contributing to the construction of the stadium in total?
None. I think there is a single digit state tax incentive.beautyfromashes wrote: ↑Wed Aug 03, 2022 1:04 pm How much is the city contributing to the construction of the stadium in total?
Wow, that's amazing. Federal money through the Port Authority, I guess, right?normalthings wrote: ↑Wed Aug 03, 2022 1:10 pmNone.

You just not be that involved if you don’t think Cordish himself isn’t the driver of blocking rooftop chillers from ground level.DColeKC wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 1:07 pm Just drove over the bridge from downtown to NKC and noticed how when looking east you are treated with a view of the hvac units on the roof.
We want 25 story buildings to have parapet to hide these things from ground level yet it wasn’t required for a low-rise?
UGH - No, that's the point. You're slightly below the roofline so instead of looking over and seeing something worth being impressed by, you're distracted by hundreds of compressors and PVC vents.
WTF are you talking about? How does Cordish literally make it's way into every fucking post I make.normalthings wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 1:20 pmYou just not be that involved if you don’t think Cordish himself isn’t the driver of blocking rooftop chillers from ground level.DColeKC wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 1:07 pm Just drove over the bridge from downtown to NKC and noticed how when looking east you are treated with a view of the hvac units on the roof.

Why would NKC be involvedDColeKC wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 2:04 pmUGH - No, that's the point. You're slightly below the roofline so instead of looking over and seeing something worth being impressed by, you're distracted by hundreds of compressors and PVC vents.
I mean I don't really give a shit was just asking if this was a point of conversation with the developers and NKC? I'm not in tune with the area.
Think I clearly mentioned I'm not familiar with that area. Do you have any input or insight or do you just want to point out I messed up saying NKC instead of KC? Or the Port Authority or whoever.normalthings wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 2:11 pmWhy would NKC be involvedDColeKC wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 2:04 pmUGH - No, that's the point.

Yes, I realize that after the unhelpful and sarcastic response.normalthings wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 2:36 pm Sorry. This is KCMO. Cordish has a pet peeve about roof units being seen.
Your post said we want 25 story buildings hiding these from ground level. If I'm at the top of 1 KC place looking down on 25 story building I see what you saw from that bridge. It's not ground level to those buildings.DColeKC wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 2:04 pmUGH - No, that's the point.

It wasn't a take, it was a simple observation. I don't cross that bridge all that often and found it surprising the roofs of those buildings were so exposed and visible.KCPowercat wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 2:44 pmYour post said we want 25 story buildings hiding these from ground level.

Weird take
What you are describing with the riverfront isn't ground level?????it makes sense to hide things on top of a roof so you can't see equipment from the ground level,
You’re hung up on my ground level comment. Never mind.KCPowercat wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 6:42 pm so you are equating concerns over quality building materials or ground level pedestrian interaction to the view of roofs from a highway bridge of equal height to the roofs? Yeah those aren't the same level of concern. It's like the 10th on the list of the problems of the riverfront development.
but hey we all have our thing.

We have moved on from the ground level comment. From the beginning I was clearly referring to the view from the bridge and made a quick post while at a red light. FFS, drop it. My original post was shit and had two gaffs. It was a simple question.KCPowercat wrote: ↑Fri Aug 05, 2022 9:07 am Who will think of google earth!
You keep bringing up ground level in your posts is the reason I keep responding this isn't ground level?
But yeah putting up a visual barrier would have been fine too. Heck I wish it was 8 stories taller. Like I said this is like 100th in list of problems with how we've developed down there.
