Title: Lawrence is Hurting
Post by: Brock Landers on May 05, 2014, 12:37:05 PM
T's and P's little bro

 (http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2014/apr/29/latest-federal-numbers-show-low-incomes-high-price/)

The latest figures from the federal Bureau of Economic Analysis show Lawrence residents are feeling the pinch in two areas. The city's cost of living, although lower than the national average, is higher than in any other metro area in Kansas. To make Lawrence's predicament worse, residents also earn far less than those in other Kansas communities.

How big is the difference, you ask? Well, take Manhattan for example. The college community just west of us on Interstate 70 has a cost of living that is about 3.6 percent cheaper than Lawrence's. The per capita, inflation-adjusted income for a Manhattan resident, though, is about $7,700 more than what Lawrence residents earn.

The costs in Lawrence clearly get inflated due to it being a commuter school.  The locals are non-college student/graduate poors.

lawrence is full of scum and trash.  i'm not surprised to hear this news today.  a lot of the gang activity is moving quickly from topeka and into lawrence.  these gangs are very dangerous and have affiliations with gangs in omaha and st louis.  if any of you are in lawrence visiting for a game and get recruited by a gang, i warn you now to not even consider membership.

if that happened in 2008 (almost 6 years ago) imagine the crime that exists there today.  the crime rate in lawrence has grown dramatically since the influx of the topeka gangs (with connections to omaha and st louis).  soon these gangs will be completely ingrained in the college subculture in lawrence.  next thing you know the gang members will be teaching classes at the university and spawning children that will attend the public schools.  at that point there is no saving lawrence, but if you ask me it's already too late for that town.  it's just too late.  sorry about your buddy, hopefully the cops found the gang banger and locked him up.  my guess is the guy got away and is somewhere living in the caribbean on your bud's dime.

good luck to everyone.

I stepped onto the bus in Lawrence one time. There was a homeless guy in the front seat, with his hand already reaching out to me. I looked at the driver, defeated expression on his face, gave him $1 for having to put up with living in that hellhole, and got off the bus. Walking is better exercise, anyway.

Cost of living is higher than the rest of the shitty towns in Kansas because the quality of life is better.  Median income is lower than Manhattan because Lawrence is nearly twice the size and has a higher low income population.  It's more of a city as opposed to some shitty little podunk college town with a mall and zero character.

Manhattan just has a greater number of higher paying jobs.  It has a burgeoning "tech sector" like silicon valley or research triangle.

the violent gangs in Lawrence are keeping those higher paying jobs out.  Who wants to get a phd only to be shaken down by the Disciples?

I have heard that the multiple Wal-marts have become ground zero for the gangs turf wars.

Just watched an epi of Bar Rescue where Jon Taffer tried to rescue a hukah bar in Omaha.  He had to turn it into a night club to save it.  Turns out the gangs were deterring anyone from entering this establishment so as not to draw attention to their money laundering/heroin/hukah operation.   Seems they are outsourcing all hukah activities to Lawrence.

 :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Not surprisingly, Manhattan is currently growing four times faster than Lawrence, with that growth rate in MHK expected to increase over next 4-5 years as NBAF and related scientific industry get up and running. Growth rate in Lawrence has been declining steadily. All economic and demographic trends indicate Manhattan becoming the larger city within 5-10 years. K-State already has the largest on-campus student body in Kansas, and if enrollment trends at both KSU and KU hold, K-State will be the largest university in the state within 5 years. These are factual statements.

Scientific proof that Manhattan and K-State are the most popular places to be in Kansas.

Hopefully KU administration agrees with Beems that everything is great, that Lawrence/KU will always be "bigger and better", and they don't need to change a thing.

I was in a fraternity at KU, and while I never heard a blatantly racist chant like what SAE did, I constantly heard all types of racial slurs, including the n-word, on a daily basis.  This notion that racism is dead, or that racism only exists within a tiny minority of people in the backwoods South, is completely naive.

Citing changing times and 'growing losses,' KU announces Jaybowl will close

Kansas University freshman Darious Crawley, Houston, Texas, rolls down the lane during a bowling class on Tuesday, April 14, 2015 at Jaybowl. The bowling alley, which has been around since 1953, will close in early May.

Jaybowl, located in the Kansas Union since 1953, will close for good in early May.

The closing is due to “growing losses, escalating down time and new space needs,” according to Kansas University Memorial Unions, which announced the news Monday.

“The student preferences are changing,” said Claudia Larkin, director of marketing for KU Memorial Unions. “As students’ tastes change, the Union is trying to adapt how it uses its spaces.”


Jaybowl lost an average of $17,000 per year over the past five years, Larkin said. She said only about 21,000 people a year use the Jaybowl now, compared to about 35,000 a decade ago.

The Jaybowl area will be repurposed into an event space for activities such as live music, comedians and open mic nights, Larkin said.

Jaybowl renovations will accompany renovations to the entire main level of the Union, which opens onto Mississippi Street, Larkin said. The area will close over the summer and reopen this fall.

Larkin said the Level 1 repurposing project was based on student input about the kinds of services they want to see the Union provide.

Besides Jaybowl, the main level currently houses the Hawk’s Nest Lounge, featuring study spaces and televisions, as well as a now-closed Milton’s coffee shop. Larkin said renovations will make the area more open, cohesive and attractive to Mississippi Street traffic.

Ultimately, there may be a pub and grill there. Larkin said that as Level 1 reopens as an event space the Union plans to work through the “University process” to pursue the establishment of a pub and grill there in the future.

Jaybowl’s last day of operation will be May 9, and a number of festivities are planned.

“We plan to send the Jaybowl out in style and commemorate what a neat place it has been on campus,” Larkin said. Renovation plans also call for some type of tribute to Jaybowl, “so we don’t forget that history as we repurpose for new student needs.”

Graf pleaded no contest last year to two counts of breach of privacy after secretly videotaping people in dressing rooms in downtown Lawrence in 2012 and 2013. In that case, investigators found a small battery-operated camera linked to Graf in the changing room at the Gap, 643 Massachusetts St., and later found 17,000 video clips on his computers featuring “hidden camera videos in locations where people were naked.”

While investigating that case, investigators found evidence that led to the attempted rape case. Lawrence police detective James Schneider said at a preliminary hearing in July that he discovered photographs that appeared to show a female victim unconscious while “sexual acts” were being performed, according to court documents. The victim was 18 years old when the crimes were alleged to have occurred.

Cost of living is higher than the rest of the shitty towns in Kansas because the quality of life is better.  Median income is lower than Manhattan because Lawrence is nearly twice the size and has a higher low income population.  It's more of a city as opposed to some shitty little podunk college town with a mall and zero character.

Yeah, the highest costs in the state with incomes $10,000 less than the state average (much less than Manhattan or JoCo) certainly gives Lawrence a better quality of life.  :ROFL:

I was on campus yesterday and noticed that the reverse side of the K flag is sewn upside down. Normally, the long arm of the K is on top. With that flag, it's on the bottom, or upside down.

I don't know who KU uses for their flags, but the same thing was done on the flag on the bowl end of the football stadium. After I pointed that one out on the football board, there was a new, corrected flag the next week at the game.

I can't believe I'm the only one who notices things like that

I wasn't able to find that shirt to buy, but I did stumble across these.  Bold move copying us like that but I like it.

not sure if I'm violating hippa but she went to cali to backpack not long ago and met some people and became friends during her stay. come to find out one was a registered sex offender in kansas and had a warrant out and apparently he was back in kansas this weekend. thats about all i know and don't really care to speculate anymore

i know right, you know how people are. thats coming from one of the victims mom so it could very well be true or just a coincidence that they were in town. I'm sure there is more to it than that if they are linked anyway

I went to Lawrence this week and went to the Ladybird Diner and it was nice.  Then Dennis, the weird doll guy came in to use the bathroom and left his doll “Sheryl Crow” on the table next to my kids and that was pretty weird.  More of a Lawrence flesh wound considering the ample gun and knife violence, but worth mentioning.

I went to lawrence for a training a few weeks ago.  We were South and East.  Newish looking area near a target.

There were at least 8 homeless people panhandling at the corner of a target.

Thought that was strange

Quote
Students were urinated on and hit by their fraternity “brothers.” A highly intoxicated student was tied to a decorative anchor outside a sorority house. Students used cocaine to draw their fraternity’s Greek letters at their chapter’s spring break house.


These were the details revealed this fall when the University of Kansas released documents related to its investigation into Delta Upsilon, a fraternity that was ultimately suspended in July of 2018.

Imagine how bad what they won't release is :sdeek:
