There's a counterpoint that while Shields may be pro-development, her working methods make people reluctant to partner with her unless they absolutely have to. Someone less pro-development but better at building relationships may get more done.normalthings wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 5:55 pm Without Shields, there are no strong pro-development players on the council. Short running to replace her is pro-development but not quite on her level. I think the candidate running vs. Bunch is even farther on the anti-incentive spectrum.
I had really hoped that Bunch would deliver a relaxing of zoning to allow for missing middle in at least the core. Has not happened and does not appear to be discussed. Probably the single greatest act to support affordability. Even then, new construction missing middle probably isn't going to pencil out for 5% AMI "true affordable"

Johnson, president of The Ohio State University. “They will also be integral to a wide range of applications in which Ohio State is actively involved from a research perspective, including artificial intelligence, quantum computing, vaccine development and more.

While they are all on right track at a higher level there needs to be more infill along streetcar line sooner than later. It's a little disappointing that after several years of streetcar running there are still many surface lots directly along the line with no plans. RM is an exception though.

Re: 2022 KC Goals
Just spitballing here but that might get better once the Main St part is done. Because more people will be able to funnel into the Crossroads. It’s still a short line right now and is just circulating- not funneling yet.earthling wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 6:30 pm Downtown Council has formed its own set of 10-year goals for downtown...
