I've wondered about that part since these things always make it seem like a predetermined thing that stuff is going to get built no matter what (outside of every once in a while where someone kept their house in a redeveloped area)..
And I get the whole trust thing with knowing whether they're just winging all of it or have some kind of plan... if it was "oh by the way, we found out we can't build there and we're going to tear down the river market, but thanks for the money!".... yeah, that's a big deal.
The nuances of whether a street will remain open at this stage... :-) [Reply]

Well your priorities suck then it seems. Closing off a street that has the largest Downtown employers City Hall Jackson County Courthouse Federal office and Courthouse along with all the support buildings that accompany the Federal City and County Government :-) right dammit we got baseball here.

It takes a lot of nerve for an organization as terrible as the Royals to ask for taxpayer dollars to be used to build a home for their shitty team. [Reply]

Jackson county is voting on a tax continuation not a stadium plan.. They can put the stadium where they want in the county and change plans at will.. [Reply]
The Colosseum had games for over 500 years. We should try to make stadiums like that instead of ones that need to be replaced every 50-60 years. [Reply]

Um. Eat my ass. My family has been in KC since it's founding for Christ's sake.
The question still stands, how much money and civic recognition do these business bring to the city and region? I'd like some numbers, but assume it is substantial.
Anyway, I love all the associate degree libertarians that come out of the woodwork for a fucking extension of a 15 year old 5/8th a cent tax. [Reply]

Well have your family come in and post the question. We don't have time for quitters.
As for the ass eating well keep those proclivities to yourself. I have high confidence your desires can be filled by a step outside in the NYC streets. [Reply]
