Probably the most ambitious local urban core project in the past few years: "A group of Pennsylvania real estate investors plan to rehab the 304-unit Hilltop Townhomes near 18th Street and Topping Avenue. Seventy percent of the units are vacant and most are uninhabitable." Developers plan to pull East Side neighborhoods out of blight - Kansas City Business Journal

Only a plague to wipe out those living on the east side can save the east side.
ReplyDeleteOh good, another study.
ReplyDeleteThe answer is no. Systemic analyses are not necessary. The problem is in the character of the residents. Heresy!!
ReplyDeleteBe nice if they had a decent fixed rail public transit system to invest near, like just about every other comparable sized city in the country. Especially if that system was 90% paid for by downtown the plaza and the stadium complex, but 75% of it was built east of Troost and it could connect east side residents with the biggest concentration of jobs amenities and entertainment in the city, which is overwhelmingly the Main Street corridor from downtown to the plaza...
ReplyDeleteSigh. Give it up, David.
DeleteAnd then pigs will fly and unicorns will walk on rainbows!
DeleteUm, according to Google Maps, thats a 2.7 mile 54 minute walk along 12th street to get from Hilltop to the nearest proposed streetcar stop.
DeleteUnless the developers are also alchemist who are able to turn shit into gold, we know the answer.
