Last night Kansas City's least favorite blogger was nearly swept away by sewer water in what would have been a fitting end to a "career" writing about this horrible cowtown.
Thankfully, this blog survived if only to provide a bit of balance to all of the worthless candidates running for office in the upcoming election cycle.
More importantly . . .
CHECK A FEW LESSONS FROM LAST NIGHT'S FLASH FLOOD ON KANSAS CITY'S OLD AND BUSTED STREETS!!!
This will be just a quick review given that we talked about this a bit last night . . .
NO Kansas City Progress On EPA Mandate
Lots of residents don't know this but KCMO is still under a Clean Water Act agreement with the EPA and last night's fairly typical spring rain proves that progress on that initiative worth BILLIONS hasn't made any significant changes.
Midtown Kansas City Mostly Underwater
The National Weather Service deemed Westport impassable for quite some time last night and streets filled with last weekend's trash, bullet casings, condoms and probably a few band flyers proves as much.
Global Climate Change And Infrastructure FAIL Setting Kansas City Up For Another 1951 Disaster???
Check old school Time/Life pix of the historic cowtown devastation and realize that there are a great many parts of Kansas City's sewer system that are still in use from that era.
You decide . . .
the epa agreement will come up again. when they issue billions more in work orders we'll only have city hall to blame.
ReplyDeleteSPRING RAIN! HOLY FUCK ITS GOT TO BE GLOBAL WARMING CLIMATE CHANGE AND CANCER BEARS!!!!! HELP US PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE.
ReplyDeleteBrookside was worse than westport.
ReplyDeleteSly was punishing Brookside with floods for unanimously opposing the toy train and supporting Terrence Nash and Dan Coffey for council.
ReplyDeleteNext up : plague of locusts!
Sly's not punishing anyone. He's putting money in his own pocket and ensuring KCMO becomes the countries most dysfunctional smaller city by the time he vacates the Mayor gig.
ReplyDeleteSolid but unspectacular governance never leads to higher office. Splashy big budget projects do. It does not matter that they're failures (in terms of little value received for a lot of money spent), so long as they can be spun as big successes.
ReplyDeleteBy a morons logic, sure.
Delete^^^ +1
ReplyDeleteand FTW!
Nope. No climate change going on here.
ReplyDeleteI', moving to Houston.
Bob nailed it.
ReplyDeleteThe problem here is that Sly isn't interested in actually improving KCMO. Just helping his friends improve their bank accounts.
7:47: Do dat train run unnawadah?
ReplyDeleteWhy do you people still live in KCMO?
ReplyDeleteEvery time it rains, it becomes an open sewer.
Every time it snows, your streets become dangerous or impassible.
Why don't you just move to Calcutta? Same slum thing, but with warmer winters.
Why do you obsessively read a blog about KCMO?
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, because you're a hanger-on.
The best thing I love about Kansas City is the fact I don't live there. I packed up my business and moved it to Kansas and loving it.
ReplyDeleteMiss our need to charge Kansas more for their storm water runoff.
ReplyDeleteJust goes to show you Tony. If you are not in a revenue generating center for the city you are in for shit.
ReplyDeleteEvery time it rains it rains pennies from Heaven.
ReplyDeleteStorm drains worked fine here in the suburbs.
ReplyDeleteAnd how is Brookside flooding? They are high ground. I fear the storm drain issue for KCMO is worse than we all know. In addition to polluting, it isn't even properly draining flash floods.
