In fact, KCMO north of the river more closely resembles Overland Park than it does Brookside.<br />One of the really attractive aspects of the metro is the great diverse choice of living locations and people are generally going to choose what they feel best works for them.<br />Parochial screeching makes the KC metro look pretty silly and bush-league and if there's really any serious interest in national competitiveness, the region's going to have to play to its strengths.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-20728516550068951982014-05-27T23:21:54.537-05:002014-05-27T23:21:54.537-05:00Don't go away mad, Clay.

Fucking rubes. <br /><br />The same people who complain about the non existent "traffic" in JoCo and crow about the amazing snow removal 2 times a year, but don't understand why their "cities" literally have to bribe businesses to relocate there.<br /><br />JoCo is a corporate trough and a marketting ploy. The suburban delusion is a pyramid scheme. And its fucking crumbling while you crybabies shriek and howl.<br /><br />This little hatespace is the only place you can go to feel like you in the majority, and its sad.

And Overland Park is consistently rated as one of the best places to raise a family in national surveys, so badmouthing that city is pretty silly as well.<br />Of the 2.4 million residents of the metro, over 80% of them live, by choice, in suburban communities, whether they be close in like Prairie Village, or rural like Stanley.<br />They do that because the negatives of what passes for a local urban environment far outweigh the positives and aren't going to get better anytime soon, particularly with a KCMO government that spends money, time, focus, effort, and energy on pretty much anything BUT actual services for residents.<br />And that's not going to change, so the metro demographics will continue as they've been going for decades.<br />Good luck with density, the creative class, the streetcar, and becoming the innovation capital of the USA. When those fads pass, which they surely will, and the millenials age out, downtown real estate is going to be pretty cheap. Of course, by the time Sly's through, the taxpayers will be responsible for paying for most of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-47036481988762350002014-05-27T17:54:33.705-05:002014-05-27T17:54:33.705-05:00That chick in the judges outfit reminds me of Judg...That chick in the judges outfit reminds me of Judge Franco!<br /><br />Any relation?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-14148231214025100412014-05-27T15:56:34.174-05:002014-05-27T15:56:34.174-05:003:41 are you really that fucking stupid or did you...3:41 are you really that fucking stupid or did you have a head injury at sometime in your life.

Speaking of stapled together crap, why don't you start follwoing whats happening in your own "city", aka Overland Park. what's the latest on the obscene amount of taxpayer $$$ you guys just pissed away on a highway interchange to no where that no one uses? Or your 15 subsidized strip malls? Or your convention center that tax money props up? Or the business you literally have to bribe to locate in nowhereville, nothingtown.<br /><br />Suburbs = hind tit suckers. You literally would not exist without this city. Face it.

The city council ignored the vote.<br /><br />Kansas City need light rail, all current fire stations plus new ones, more police officers, and more infrastructure improvements. The biggest thing we lack is a Mayor and city council that can see the real future. We don't have light rail because the city took it out. We don't have fire stations and fire fighters because the Mayor and city council are playing games. To bad Sly and the Family can't think further into the future. I'm tired of people talking game and then bailing on progress.
