The purchase will use existing downtown Transportation Development District, or TDD, funds, resulting from higher than anticipated sales tax growth within the district and stabilized operations expenses.

Suck on that chodecat ROFL

Oh, so they're paying for it with sales tax spurred in part by the streetcar? That's weird because wacky said they were going to take it from me, Joe taxpayer

Link?

Also, lol at local dems thinking expansion doesn't sneak up on the tax takeout from their paycheck. If you're all as elite as you say you are, you haven't looked at a pay stub since college.

No, I'm clean, but I can confirm growth in KC is underneath taxes. You believe all the crap the media throws on Trump, but ignore 'clams updates on how shitty sly is. Not surprised.

[mocat]

Wacky, bud, you just be you and don't worry about facts or asinine details

[420seriouscat69]

You guys seriously think the economy has grown that much from a 2 mile streetcar? Holy crap, guys!

It's not that the "economy" in KC has grown in leaps and bounds above anticipated....it's a combination of the financing plan being VERY conservative and property coming online faster than anticipated which has increased the property tax paid into the streetcar fund.  This (value capture) was a huge piece of the streetcar proposition.  For example, that new Residence Inn/Courtyard next to Bartle Hall....in 2016 the taxable value of that property was $308,768.  This year?  $11,413,518.  That will move their streetcar tax payment from $1k to over $50k.  One property.

How in the world?  Owned by a REIT?

[mocat]

Wasn't it just a parking lot before?

It was surface parking and a 1 story desolate building on the land last time it was assessed (2015).

If you think average Joe's aren't paying for this Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) thing, you're rough ridin' delusional.

It's a rough ridin' CID so developers don't have to pay taxes

Joe six pack pays an extra 1% in sales tax (an ~18% increase over normal  ) for this psuedo infrastructure.

the proponents who love their city so much will tell you that cities like KC have to TDD, otherwise developers won't develop in hayseed towns like KC
the truth is that the public has underwritten far more than their fair share for everything that has happened downtown while out of town developers have fleeced their pockets.  slying james gofundedme downtown kc.
