AWESOME KANSAS CITY INSIDERS REPORT CITY HALL DRASTICALLY CUTTING BACK RESOURCES FOR NEIGHBORHOOD CLEANUP!!!

Here's the word in a special comment offering more insight into the program and its consequences. Checkit:

Kansas City Neighborhood Leader On Community Cleanup

FYI the city changed their blue trash bag policy and they only allow neighborhood leaders to have ten each. Lol, ten!! How are we supposed to clean up trash in our neighborhood with ten bags?

Years ago, the city limited us to two trash bags and required us to schedule bulky item pickup; the result has been trash piled all over the urban core, leaving volunteers to spend their evenings and weekends attempting to make a small dent in their little forgotten corner of KC.

It's just extremely frustrating to see basic quality of life services for communities cut while we see tax incentives handed out like candy.

It's easy to fall in love with the *idea* of making bold investments into downtown, but when the result is an increase in crime, an increase in trash, and a decrease in basic services for community volunteers, it's kinda making me want to vote NO on the sales tax renewal just to send a message to City Hall.

When will we have invested *enough* in downtown KC? When will the urban core receive the windfall from all of the giveaways that are going to make KC a world class city? Will it be felt equitably, or will it come with displacement and an affordable housing crisis? How much longer do I have to listen to these smug urbanists telling us that gentrification is actually good for everyone?

Can I just get some G.D. blue trash bags??!

  1. But we have hundreds of millions to throw away on the streetcar? Sound about right.

    1. Here's what sucks about this.

      The people who are willing to walk around their neighborhood and pick up trash are some of the most dedicated and valuable residents we've got in Kansas City. What's the message we're sending to them? Sorry, but we're barely giving you enough help to make a dent.

      It's typical KC - Take advantage of people at the ground level in order boost lawyers & developers.

  6. City hall gets away with all this because KC voters never never never say NO NO NO NO. KC voters will go and vote yes April 3 when the majority of money is going to go downtown.

    RIPP CITY.

    Absolutely disgusting what KC gets away with when it comes to screwing over neighborhood groups. This is just the latest way that mayor and council ignores everyone who isn't a partner at a downtown firm.

    Buy your own bags, bill the city at $20 a pop! They deserve to be flooded with invoices.

  9. You rubes keep saying yes to every tax on the ballot. You deserve this.

  10. No, @ 12:13, City Hall just keeps announcing that we "rubes" said yes.

    We need a Citizen's Petition to have every election's results compiled and tabulated by the State Auditor's Office!

  11. The coloreds in the hood and millinials will go vote and vote yes every time. Most of them don’t pay taxes so they don’t care. Until white people take going and voting seriously this crap will continue to get passed.

  12. The people using these bags were abusing them, they were cleaning out their own houses and relatives houses and putting the bags out for special pickup at no charge. They would pick these bags up by the cases at the city, that’s right cases of them. Serves their ass’s right by cutting them way back. Remember that trash that the lady was complaining about on blue pkwy at that abondoned motel? Guess what, those were bags that were for neighborhood cleanups illegally used and dumped there.

    They already spent hundreds of millions on the “central core” and billions inside the downtown loop. When is it the rest of the cities turn?

    Fuck you slie, your destroying this city for your own ego

  20. Northeast neighborhood leaders reached out to City Council representatives, the neighborhood services department, and KCMO Parks, and it seems like we may be drowning in Blue Trash Bags now. But why did we have to go through a mini crisis and rely on our connections rather than simply be able to rely on this basic city service??!

    We're continuing to cut services from communities! So what, 7:14, if folks are abusing the trash bags? You mean they're putting TRASH in them rather than on the street, in the park, or on a vacant lot? Does trash have to be illegally dumped before it can be put into the blue trash bags? Do we open all of these trash bags to determine if the trash was in the public ROW before it was placed in the bag?

    Sorry, but how many perks do corporations and government insiders exploit on the tax payers' dime, but suddenly there's a suspicion that some community volunteers may be using blue bags instead of purchasing trash tags when they have more than the two permitted bags of trash, and we implement Draconion reforms??

    Give me a break.

  21. $60.00 dumpsters have helped my neighborhood! We do it twice a year and have one for trash and one for yard stuff.
    I have also worked with the city for a neighborhood clean up and the city hauled all we collected. I thought it worked well.
    I agree city hall seems to do what they want even though people voted.

  22. We know how bad tings are in the urban core. What we have trouble with is why the city buys trains when they should be buying plows and demolition experts.
