TKC BREAKING NEWS!!! FIGHT TO SAVE KANSAS CITY NELLE PETERS COUNTRY CLUB PLAZA APTS. STAYS WINNING!!!



Highlight from today's Kansas City real estate slapfight regarding the fate of an Entertainment District up for sale:

Historic Kansas City just received a unanimous approval from the City Plan Commission to include the three plaza apartments in the Historic Nelle E. Peters Thematic District! ‪#‎SaveDontRaze‬

A quote from activists hoping for Obamacash . . . "Federal and state tax credits are available. These properties are ideal candidates to receive them."

Meanwhile, the fate of the Plaza seems uncertain now that a big company is bailing out. For more info, check our bevy of links on the valiant efforts of these activists hoping to preserve this part of Kansas City feminist history.

  1. Perfect idea: Turn them into overnight community centers offering pizza parties and video games for teens after curfew on the Plaza. It'll work out great.

  2. White privilege wins again. While I agree that the buildings should be saved, the inequity in land development continues to be pervasive across the Troost divider.

  3. So I guess that we should assume that members of the Planning Commission and Historic Kansas City will be putting together the money to buy and bring those derelict buildings up to code.
    No?
    Really?

  4. Is it not interesting how investors can allow a property to become derelict and neglected while an average joe has the whole weight of the legal system come done on him for a little peeling paint?

  5. It seems like a solid decision... everyone seems so worried about the fate of the plaza, and it's decisions like these that serve to save it. Make no mistake, the collection and character of the buildings on the plaza are what make it what it is. Historic units designed by a (reasonably) famous architect, and built within the time period of the rest of the plaza, make more sense than anything new that will be built.

  6. 4:18 the Plaza residents do not like you and your "Friends of the Plaza" ilk. You people own zero property, yet want to dictate to us what we do with our neighborhood. How about we come out and tell you what to do with Mission Hills, or Holbrook, or wherever it is you live.

    These apartments are architecturally beautiful, but they are a haven for crime and undesirables. If money grew on trees then you'd be spot on, but it doesn't. We live in the real world, and the Nelle Peter's Apts are a problem, not an asset. So if you reasonably answer the following question, I will consider supporting the salvation of Nelle Peter's

    WHAT DO YOU PROPOSE WE DO WITH THE NELLE PETER'S APARTMENTS, AND HOW DO WE FUND IT?

  7. I'd say the apartments should be renovated and leased market-rate (which itself will discourage most of the undesirable activity, which usually relies on subsidized housing to exist). This which should not be too difficult with a decent renovation. With the historic designation, there are both state and federal tax credits available to offset a large portion of the necessary renovation costs.

  8. Renovation does NOT remove the cancer that is NIGGERS. All sorts of this bloviating will not change a thing that is happening to KC, the Plaza, etc. NIGGERS are systematically destroying the city and the humans are not only allowing it, but aiding in it's destruction.

  9. Another KC Cluster, no wonder highwoods moved.

  10. What is to keep these places from simply being allowed to decay like the apartments on Armour just west of Main?

  11. 4:36, it's obvious you think you're all that because you own property on the Plaza. But if you have no interest in preserving its past, you'd be better off in a new vinyl house in the outer burbs. You're right that money doesn't grow on trees, but the Plaza would benefit more by having historic properties restored than new buildings thrown up all over the place. If you're worried about your property value (and it's understandable if you are), you should realize that there's a helluva lot more problems affecting it than some tired apartment buildings.

  12. Plan is to turn them into Section Ape. LOL....can you see it now. Fucking monkeys hanging out the windows, throwing shit at Plaza rubes from Nebraska.

    Gotta buy a ticket to see this shit.

  13. 9:29, not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but I can totally see something like that happening! Slyme and the Right Reverend Car Wash Cleaver will get some sort of Osambo funding to renovate the buildings for Section 8. And as for Nebraska rubes, you nailed that one.

  14. It is interesting that the main spokesperson for Plaza preservation lives in... Armour Hills.
