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]
"Don't believe the noise. We are committed to retention of our teams with vastly lower expenses--think needed infrastructure build out--than even an intra-metro move. Both teams will be in KCMO in 2040 and long after" - Mayor Q
Not sure what needed infrastructure build out means. Is he talking about a streetcar going to the TSC? That idea has been floated for the world cup. Id say the clock is ticking on that [Reply]
Well, we don't know that for sure but there is a good reason why I mentioned all of those things. I suspect they may want to do some or all of these things.
If that's the case then they will just price out fans like myself, unfortunately. [Reply]

They also have over a million dollar in liquid assests. Haven't built a single house.
Where did you get the information of the list of projects and did the source for the list of projects say more about what happened with each proposal?
Not sure why you want to complain how they spend the money they raise as as a 501c3.
Their donors should know they are an advocacy group. They can advocate for this and that. You want to piss and moan that they have not spent a million dollars to increase housing inventory? That's pretty weak. You might have some real arguments to state, but nonsense criticism about KC Tenants not building shit on their own might discredit a valid argument you make on a different point because it comes from somebody that talks nonsense.
On a new Royals stadium, I think KC Tenants needs to acknowledge that some of the total costs will be paid wages and margins for local companies that are included because there would be MBE/WBE. [Reply]

This vote was about Sherman and his completely shitty plan.
The Chiefs tried to give him cover to get the Royals out of their way, and even the Chiefs couldn't save him.
The Chiefs could put their renovations on the ballot alone and it would pass in a landslide.
The Royals plan was better than the Chiefs plan though. Those stadium renovations were bullshit and did nothing to help the vote pass. If anything they hurt it. [Reply]

because they are clueless and peddle bad information to many people who would benefit for these projects. [Reply]
After alla the whining, blaming and otherwise c*** behavior on the air, I've decided that Fescoe tears are more delicious than Billdo tears, although not at this point as refreshing as bungle tears.

I had compiled it for months from news articles, KC Tennants public statements, and various hearings at City Hall. If you're asking for public sources I can link several of you'd like
Sure I will you don't see the irony in a group that talks about housing for the poor that has over 1 million in liquid assets and has spent $0 on housing? They've also killed projects that would provide hundreds if not thousands of "affordable" units. The housing crisis is driven by the supply not meeting demand. How do you expect prices to go down without more housing? If anything you could easily argue they've made it harder for developers and renters to operate in this city. We know that because we can point to the number of projects currently going on which is maybe a handful. What would stop a developer or landlord from saying fuck this and setting up shop? [Reply]
Details of the Negotiations Between the Royals and Clay County. Up to mid January 2024 when the Royals put it on hold. Some fascinating stuff in here including details of the tax expected up north and where those funds are going
