Dirty, Dangerous Kansas City Motel Shut Down

Fox4 has the most descriptive headline . . . KC Motel Investigation: Feces, Fleas and Drugs

KCTV5: Police raid Kansas City rat-infested 'drug crime haven'

KSHB: 'Filthy' motel closed, animals removed

It's a good move and should be much safer as a vacant building!!!

Hell there are no less than a dozen of the hotel/apartments right in the middle of town, owned by some big political contributors, and the squalor and shit in these places is something like you only in slum scenes in the movies. I'd love to see the city actually get off their asses and stop closing their eyes to this crap, .....but slum lords with money win big time in KC.

Why did it take this long to shut it down? How did Fox4 find out about it, or did gumment call the TV station to make sure it STAYED CLOSED? Are there OTHER FLEA TRAPS LIKE THIS? Why are THEY still open?

What does the health department actually DO each day for their pay?

"Patel Motel" phenomenon

The "Patel motel" phenomenon, as it is popularly known,[citation needed] has made a major impact on the American hospitality industry.

A sizable number of Indian immigrants to the United States came in the 1960s and 1970s. Some came to pursue higher educations, but upon graduating with MBAs, Engineering, etc. degrees could not find professional jobs or jobs that paid well. Many of them worked in blue collar jobs and saved up and bought up undervalued and dilapidated properties and turned them into businesses.[7] As many as 60% of mid-sized motels and hotel properties, all over the US, are owned by the people of Indian origin. Of this nearly one-third have the surname Patel - a popular one among Indian Gujaratis (those that came from Gujarat).[8][9]

"According to the Asian American Hotel Association (A.A.H.O.A), 50 percent of hotels and motels in the United States are owned by people of Indian Origin".[10] A large immigrant population of educated Gujuratis came in the 1960s and 1970s. These Patels are known as founding fathers, having worked hard and saved, then invested in many properties. Having a steady amount income and savings, they called over their distant relatives and friends from the villages of India. Upon their arrival, they would already have financial assistance from the founding fathers and could start up their own businesses.
