Ignore The Vacant Businesses, Kansas City Toy Train Streetcar Hype Machine Rolling!!!

As the streetcar is set to debut, check out City Hall talking points disseminated far and wide and in direct contradiction to at least half a dozen vacant store fronts along the fake transit line. Take a look: Streetcar sparks development along downtown line

  1. None of these businesses will last a year.

  2. Take away the streetcar the development continues. Take away the tax breaks the development stops. So much for sparking.

  4. Those people buying or renting apartments in high rises have no clue how awful they can be. They'll soon find out when they try and bring bags of groceries, furniture, pets, kids, contractors for interior work and more into an elevator lifestyle. Been there, done it. Never again.

  6. It's both amazing and embarrassing how the local media is falling all over themselves peddling the over-the-top hype and crap from city hall and the development crowd.
    Any town that would like to think of itself as a serious city has to have much better than bush league television readers and a newspaper much more serious and professional than the pitiful Star.
    KCMO is all hat and no cattle.
    Well, actually not much else other than cattle.
    Mooooo!

  7. Still hung up on the denial stage of loss, Tony?

    Well, you can always pull at the treads of (fill in the blank) and bitch on a blog.

    Wait.

    I just described Tony's KC.

    IF I POST IN ALL CAPS, WILL IT BE MORE EFFECTIVE?

  8. It sparked my interest in staying far away from anything within two blocks of the choo-choo. Parking and traffic nightmares with excessive fines after the choo choo has been ramrodded down the throats of unwilling participants...that is taxpayers. Here comes David Johnson with his idea that only a small portion of people are paying for the two-mile jolly trolley in 5, 4, 3, 2...

  9. Meh, like anything else, time will tell. Even though KCMO is being run by a bunch of libs, there's still a chance to make something of this. America is a capitalist country and only the real left wingers would rather have us live in caves than build anything.

  10. From reading TKC's header, it sounds like he thinks Mike Mahoney is full of shit. TKC must hate Mike Mahoney

  11. Adults agree to disagree, 6:19. Hate isn't a healthy obsession, look at KC's crime rates.

  12. Nothing screams Kansas City is awesome to those riding the streetcar more than a shady-as-fuck shyster auto "repair" shop such as Calverts on Main.

  13. Mike Moostakis is an asshole in real life.
