Is this your tap-out after equating the Chiefs/Royals to “crackheads outside of a gas station”?

LMAO

I thought it was kind of funny personally. Imagining a strung out John Sherman outside of a QT trying to grab a vote or two.

And cut it with the tap-out language, that's DC dipshit stuff. I know you're active there and those are your people, but it's not how I roll.

There are a lot of crazy people in the DC who range from intelligent to stupid. KCChiefsFan88 is less on the crazy side than most of them but he is in his own tier when it comes to being a ****ing idiot.

If you gave him a lobotomy it would double his IQ.

So you would vote no on this ballot initiative if you lived in KC?

Even your usual dense British dumbassery should be able to see the illogical hilarity in voting no for this.

This is kinda fun!

Sounds like you are coming to the realization that your previous statements against this ballot initiative have no logical basis. LMAO

Oh sure that's what's happening here.

You remind me of BEP. You guys discuss matters in a similar manner.

Explain why are you against keeping the same 3/8-cent sales tax in place.

Because you hate John Sherman?

Sounds like a short-sighted dumb reason. Especially since you would be voting no to the Chiefs as well.

Only the Royals could fumble a bag this hard, and they still might get their votes. But it's just because Jackson county voters will slap a 'yes' vote on anything they perceive makes them a 'big time city' - not because they earned those votes in an honest effort.

Some of the internal polling I have seen makes it look neck and neck I imagine the yes votes win out but in a close one.

A lot of people who live and spend a lot of time around downtown were pretty unhappy with the plan closing Oak St.

Now they come around and say they can do it without closing Oak but I have no idea how. And its them changing the entire thing a few days before the vote and after early voting folks have already cast a ballot.

It is such a mess.

It is also shitty because that east village area has been sitting waiting for this. One of the reasons there is so much open land there is because it was an open secret the Royals were going to make a home there so when they made this last second audible it really sucked because we could have done things with that area.

There's real backlash out there for pushing the Crossroads site last minute that hurt them dramatically.

The Royals would still get shit on being an awful organization, but if they had made this proposal for the East Village site (an ugly pimple that needs revitalization) it passes something like 65/35 instead of going 53/47.

That's the biggest gripe people that work/live/play in KC have as far as I can tell.

I can sit here and blabber about the royals being long time losers with an owner that's looking to build and sell. And while that's all true, the site being forced into the Crossroads is a sticking point for more people than you'd think.

That area sucked forever and it finally gets built up to be a focal part for the city, and the big bad royals abandon plans to revitalize an eyesore just to cash in and ultimately destroy something that was built organically.

If this vote doesn't pass it has zero to do with support for the Chiefs and says everything about the lack of support for the Royals and Sherman's delivery of this message.

If it doesn't pass it has everything to do with the Chiefs. This is a vote to basically keep a tax in place that means we extend Arrowhead for 25 years. The Chiefs aren't there for "support", they want a long term deal.

Does keeping Oak St open change anything with the way the South Loop Park project is incorporated from your understanding?
