It's not the street car's fault that you can't afford to live in a mid-tier quality hill rental. Is it? Complaining about rent levels in KC is very dumb.
I could afford it, dumbass. Don't make it personal. I don't think anyone likes it when rent goes up for something they don't give two shits about and/or is useless.Where did I ever say I never understood the situation? Also, that area was doing just fine before the streetcar. Stop acting like a 2 mile traveling machine has uplifted downtown from nothing to thriving. SMDH.
WC will you feel different in a few years if it goes out to UMKC and starts to expand all over KCMO?
Depends, how much is it going to cost us? I'll probably be on the KS side, CO, or by the coast by the time that ever happens. So sure, pay for it for me and i'll check it out. 
A couple things bud.
Most of the complaints you or clams posts about the streetcar are valid, but as a KC guy I'm just glad the city tried something you know? I mean, they basically had the attitude that downtown did not matter from 1960ish-1999 give or take a few years. So yes, its overpriced and kind of a novelty, but for a city our size its a great start and a way to get more people in the city. So what if Janie Lenexa and Jackie Olathe use it as a novelty to go to the city market on Sundays? At least they're spending money in KCMO and not at Bass Pro.
And to point out the street car as the reason your rent changed is insane. Ask someone who owns a building in the crossroads or anywhere in the downtown area what it was worth in 2000 vs now. The entire area has gone up in value drastically and to point to one factor as the reason for your rent increase is foolish. Come on man.
