TKC EXCLUSIVE!!! HERE ARE THE REAL REASONS WHY JP MORGAN BAILED OUT OF SOUTH KANSAS CITY!!!



The Star recently featured an intense story with a lot of reader reaction regarding JP Morgan pulling out of South KC in favor of the Golden Ghetto . . . Unfortunately, what they came up represents only the aftermath of why the big biz went bye-bye and off to JoCo.

A SPECIAL THANKS TO TKC TIPSTERS who intercepted a bit of City Hall Communication on the decision as it was seen up close and from City Hall.

Folks working on this inside City Hall say, additional incentives by KCMO could not bring this deal back.

CHECK OUT THE SITCH FROM BEHIND THE SCENES REGARDING THE JP MORGAN SOUTH KANSAS CITY DUMP!!!

Here's what KCMO knows about the process . . .

  • Our incentive package to them was aggressive enough to virtually equalize the cost factors.

  • They wanted a suburban location from the beginning and did not even want to look downtown until we made our compelling offer and pitch.

  • The company wanted a single tenant building….both of their Kansas options were single tenant, Town Pavilion was not.

  • Pam Popp (CEO of JPMorgan Retirement) was only one voice in the decision process . . . this involved probably 12 people and went all the way to senior corporate in New York . . .

  • They've signed the lease at the Sprint campus

  • From a personal perspective, I've gotta believe the fact that there are maybe only one or two chicks that look like Sylvie van der Vaart-Meis in South KC and JoCo is up to their eyeballs in German Blonde babes might be part of the decision too. But I have my priorities in a much more strict order than most other business people.

    4. It was wired from the start. These searches are about getting the best deal after you've already decided.

    5. Do you even LOOK at the T&A you post? Its like you have no interest in it and you just post pictures gratuitiously.

      You need someone who has some taste to post the pix. To many of them come from the Los Angeles County Mammary Gland Enhancement Association.

      How bout you quit shilling for the plastic surgeons and start showing us some beautiful women? Way better ones on flikr. Ones ya'd actually want to TALK to, and more.

    6. yeah, but who are they hitting on on facebook?

      because we're all interested in the personal lives of people that you can only aspire to be one-tenth as good as.

    7. JP Morgan is smart enough to know that KC has no future.

    8. Why would JP Morgan executives want to send their children to schools in the Kansas City School District? Why would anyone want to send their children to the schools in the Kansas city School District?

    9. You missed -

      * 1% earning tax screwing anyone with a job.

    10. Are you suggesting J P Morgan is a racist and doens't like black children who will be arrested and found guilty of assault or burglary, or armed criminal action, or attempted murder within two years after they leave the KCSD as students?

      You think youre too cool to have your chileren go to school wieth kids who love the line, 'pop a cap in yo ass?'

      is there a Mexican translation of that that works over in KCK so Tony can relate to it>?

      You white people living in the 'burbs, just dont have any clue what neighvorhood morality is like!

      Call ALonzo, or some church playuh east of Troost. They know this stuff. or maybe they don't.


      Maybe today's black community (leaders) need to demand more, expect more and then IMPLEMENT MORE than what's got so many of their sons either IN the JUDICIAL system or just temporarily DIVERTED from it.

      black men who sire thse young smart ass boys, need to be responsible eough to RAISE their boys!

      Lots of Black men DO have family values. I'm not interested in the others waste my time with false blame on why THEY dind't do their jobs!

      They know. They just were too into themselves and they didnt' want to share themselves with some snot nosed young boy.

      DISCUSS!

    11. 1% earning tax is probably the cause all things being equal.

    12. My God, you are all so ignorant. Just leave. All of you. Your virtual activism is useless. Futile. I was raised in a KC where we fix things that we don't like. Fix it, you fools.

    13. The E tax is a big deal but face it, most employees hate downtown. They would rather drive 15 minutes from their OP home. Contrast that with a 45 minute commute, $50 a month to park, getting your car vandalized or stolen and the burbs look pretty good. Sure a few young hipsters like to live and work downtown but not the average worker.

    14. The downtown has such an active and vibrant nightlife, too. Your living room. If that gets boring, you can pay $50 for an outing to P&L, get frisked, and deal with the thugs.

      Then, if that's not enough, you can watch homeless people fight with each other, dig through your dumpsters and toss shit all over the sidewalk in front of your place.

      You might have someone try to steal your wallet while walking home. Then, if you're really lucky, you can listen to a car alarm go off for 12 hours outside your window because some stupid skank banging some douche from the bar has a crappy car.

      Yeah, downtown rocks.
