I do believe that everything they pour money into downtown KC fails. There is a history in it. I think there is more danger in losing the Royals because of Sherman. I think its all about making money not love of baseball in KC. He will sell it all for a huge profit. Thats how shysters work the system. |

Is there an actual plan or is it like the airport where they said, trust us... it'll be fine.
As far as I'm concerned, I've paid my dues. let them leave. Still wondering how the Royals stadium was deemed to be unsafe yet Arrowhead, which was built at the same time by the same people, is fine. I guess you can pay an expert to come up with any conclusion. Reality is that the 3/8 cent doesn't hurt me yet it's a burden on those people in Jackson county who will never go to a game and can barely afford to live anyways. |

This whole thing boils down to trust. People dont trust politicians and slick talkers like Sherman and Lucas
Jackson County homeowners are still steamed over the property tax fiasco a year ago that has yet to be resolved. Pile on Frank White wants to score a get even with the Royals for them passing him over in years past I dont think the mayor has the credibility he thinks he has. His ego has told him he can do anything and he will be seen as a superstar. But folks are getting tired of his happy ass asking for more and more tax dollars for showboat projects and being promiced the world. Airport was hard sell and this week we see the first airline leave for lack of business. Then we have the streetcar line that seems to be in constant need for more money. And we have an economy that is not just booming. People dont believe the K is falling down while Arrowhead shines like new money. That does not pass the smell test for most. And the K s a beautiful baseball stadium. The whole downtown idea has holes for a lot of people. Parking is a question in spite of the promove crowd saying its a non issue. Then the location sort of has a taint going for it. First it was one place, then maybe north of the river then another, then out of the blue its in the Crossroads. Existing businesses in the Crossroads got blindsided and many still say the Royals, mayor or whomever have not talked to them. Who benefits from this deal? Mayor Q, Ex mayor Sly, every union contractor involved in tear down and build new, special interests for sure, Sherman stands to make out like Ali Baba and the 40 thieves. People who own the ground where new stadium will go get out of a very marginal realestate area with big bucks as a reward. The Chiefs benefit but the PR value in a Chiefs improvement is huge, Royals not so much And the special interest money for community stuff is a payoff to get special interests to back off. Joe Working guy taxpayer has every reason to be not a fan All that said, I bet it passes. But the next go round for tax incerreases will pay the price for Shermans gold |

I never got my catalytic converter stolen when I went down to power and light... which was way more often than I went to Arrowhead/ Kaufman yet happened to both my dad and I.

You couldn't have ****ed this up any harder if you tried. I thought Sherman was a smart businessman?

I read HCs post carefully because he doesn't usually babble.
You don't trust the parking and you think the location still need to address about 4 businesses. Gosh, those are really sad reasons not to revitalize your downtown. LA has a downtown that rolls up at night. Denver's I walk all the time. And if you think it's because I'm a thug, i assure you Rain Man would too. Fix your shit and all the other stuff you're worried about goes away too. Can't get people downtown en masse without a reason. Can't fix your downtown without people. |
