Vote in this poll if you actually live in Jackson county.
We've all shared our opinions in the other thread. But who gives a shit what somebody in Platte County or Johnson County or Phoenix or NYC thinks. We're all just noise. [Reply]
That view is restricted by the bluffs to the east. The rendering is a bit of BS the city is up top you have some views but nothing like what the rendering is showing.
The fields footprint is right on top where the old cattle pins used to be. Gateway computers used to set next to those cattle pins. Some of the worst flooding has occurred in that area and we are due again. [Reply]

RE: West Bottoms, there have been minor improvements there over the last few years, with some breweries going in and new loft buildings going up. My understanding was that its a high priority to rebuild the area but stalled a bit after an initial push.

It's helped make so much money that there is no need to pay baseball players or field a winning team. And once they connect Empower to Coors with a walkable neighborhood, there's no stopping the billionaires.
So there's a cautionary tale for the Royals. [Reply]

It's been a wild success, and that's not debatable. There are case studies about it in economic development journals. The combination of LoDo, Ballpark, and RiNo have made for the best area for nightlife and restaurants in the state. [Reply]

I was just down there last week. Walked all around. I suppose you could see the skyline as the stadium would be built up quite a bit. But the area itself is not as good as the East village [Reply]
