Kansas City things

[Phil Titola]

Downtown kc rebounding pisses clams ( ) off so much...

[420seriouscat69]

Hey, if some national blogger wants to shine light on KC, i'm not going to crush it. I'll definitely take it. It's not meant for us anyways, it's meant for tourism. They have no idea what's far or not.

I think what some people need to acknowledge is that Kansas City has claimed its place among the great cities of the world, with a transit system to match.

Sorry haters, those are the facts and you are just going to have to deal with them.

To be fair, 'Clams is kind of a weird Kansas Citian. He owns his turf, but hates Kansas City and wants to move to Cali. I mean yeah, Cali > KC, but we're no Tulsa Oklahoma either. 

[pissclams]

In the limited time since it opened sales have been up about 15%. Whether that's due to weather/summer or the streetcar is hard to determine. Jusy my experience.

or maybe just your brewery is getting word of mouth? im sure its a combination of many things and im sure the street car has benefited your sales in some factor, im just not sure the street car is worth the $ we spent on it.

Which is why I think it is important to remember the entire city isn't paying for this... Downtown taxed itself.

correction, 350 eligible voters levied a tax upon business owners unfortunate enough to do business in sly's tdd

Businesses don't vote on taxes anywhere but you knew that. I don't hear any businesses complaining about their higher bills (outside of an air filter company)... They seem to realize the value they have gotten.

business do vote on taxes, through the ownership of said business.  and when the owners of these downtown businesses were allowed to vote, at the citywide vote, they resoundingly said no.  so, sly came up with the tdd idea so he could exclude the dissenting votes.  but you knew that.

Except not even close to all business owners are kcmo residents and my sources tell me all downtown business owners that were kcmo residents voted in favor of the last citywide rail vote. That's a fact.

I mean we literally have a downtown business owner on this blog saying he likes the streetcar and it has, in part, helped his business and 'clams just keeps yammering about how businesses hate the streetcar. It's truly daxian
