Mainly the careless spending part, but I will admit those other things took effect too. It also effected rent downtown as well.

Can you name some other KC metro projects you consider careless spending?

The new airport. The planes fly fine out of the current one.

Not one of this stature. The Kaufman Center really grew on me and looks badass in our skyline.

Well tax money didn't build that. Kind of weird for a believer of unnecessary government spending can only come up with one project.

I knew you wanted me to say the airport and honestly I don't gaf about it anymore. Most of the time it's super convenient to get in and out of, but I do see how it looks compared vs other airports. I can't have a passion for 1 specific project, Phil? I'm not in the weeds like you are everyday. I doubt most of the road construction out there right now is needed, but what can I do about it?

That last part is music to my ears wacky. I totally agree with you.

Took my 3rd option home because the first two are closed and then that one was closed too

They closed the 69 exit from I-35 on Saturday and I’m not happy about it

Common ground!

Assuming Induced Demand is true, wouldn't the upshot be reduction of traffic on surface streets? That is a collateral benefit.

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #11941 on:** August 08, 2019, 07:23:58 PM »

I would be amazed to see how 435/35/70 etc. would look without consistent construction. Like, I’m talking the flow of traffic. Sounds like a dream.

Phil Titola · « **Reply #11942 on:** August 08, 2019, 07:24:25 PM »

Traffic is not a KC problem. All in on rebuild though,!

Oh, I know. That’s why I didn’t bring it up with your initial question. I just wanna see a free 3, 4, 5 lane highway and how it works without constant construction. Kinda feels like we’re defeating the point at times.
