Kansas City Development Fact Check: Westside Blight Wouldn't Stand In Brookside



Gotta be careful with this one . . . In the cutthroat Kansas City real estate market, asking for development is kind like summoning Beetlejuice.

Making a really good case could drop a toy train station right on top more houses just like it was that dumb-ass coffee plane.

So . . . I'll simply share this insight and the first photo that were KINDLY SENT OUR WAY from one of the most AWESOME TKC TIPSTERS . . .



"TKC, you like the Westside a lot more than Sly. Folks in the Brookside wouldn't have to look at this mess year after year."

Possibly, however I guess the Westside is lucky given that we have more than a few gentrification advocates comprised of the petite bourgeoisie but so far no corporations throwing around patronage jobs and campaign donations that really spark almost all Kansas City development. Natch.

  1. Let them eat crap seems to be city halls mantra these days.

    A few neighborhoods aren't willing to eat crap obviously.

  3. That blight has had several proposals to fix it shot down by the nimbys and casual racists of the neighborhood.

    You got that blight because you asked for it.

  4. That's not blight. We call it Hipsterville.

  5. That garden sits on a site that was a former thermometer factory and is contaminated with mercury.

    Would you want to develop there?

  6. Let's be honest your 'neighborhood' is hardly a neighborhood since they built that I-35 spur through the heart of it. Frames the downtown, and you are outside of the frame vato.

    Hipsters: Anyone seen wearing anything other than gear representing professional or college sports.

    Also, anyone who creates anything and is not consuming mainstream fare 24/7.

  13. TKC, that there in that photo is a community garden. They'd even welcome that in Brookside. In fact, we even have our own version of this at Border Star. And we love it.
