The luxury condo boom continues in Kansas City. Efforts to revive a stalled plan for more luxury living space on the Plaza might soon be underway. All things considered it's not a bad thing that rich people are getting more options for housing closer to the city's urban core. Additionally, the many escorts, delivery and maintenance people who service the residents of these spaces might get a chance to appreciate the view as well.

Clearly, Kansas City is looking for new residents with big bucks and higher taxable incomes. While all of these new developments are touted by officials across the metro, the potholes in this town threaten to swallow those of us not driving SUV's. In the end, Country Club Kay can't be blamed for bending over backwards in an attempt to seduce the new gentry back to the city. What's a gold digging girl supposed to do?

However, as middle and lower income Kansas City residents cease to be valued as citizens and now become nothing more than scenery; those looking out on their expensive view might notice a lot of pissed off people, upset with the city's misplaced priorities, looking back.
