  2. Richard Florida, the guru of urban futurists and creating creative class millenial meccas just had a column in an actual national newspaper pointing out that the rush to urban areas has crested and passed and the suburbs around the country are once again growing faster than the cities they surround.
    As overbuilt on a pile of public subsidies and debt that the KCMO downtown "renaissance" is, that's much worse than the canary in the coal mine.
    It's never too difficult to predict that fads tend to become fades as generations grow up and everyone moves on to other newer things.
    Anybody still have hulu hoops, CB radios, or disco balls?
    Funding fads with debt is a really bad idea.

  5. OH, HOLY HORSE HOCKEY! Will any of these "Empty Suits" still be around Kansas City five years from now?

    Within a year of the GOP led Congress cutting taxes on Corporations and the Wealthy we are going to see the same results we have been seeing for the past 36 years, yet another Recession!

    As soon as the Economy slows the funds for buying into all these "Residential Conversions" will vanish, and we will hear howls of anguish about the "Oversupply" of Downtown housing!

    This will be followed by a few Bank Mergers in lieu of closures, then a round of Airline mergers and takeovers (reduced incomes to pay debt service on the KCI Airport), and an oversupply of unsold motor vehicles.

    These Tax Cuts seem to had a beneficial effect once in modern history, then JFK reduced the top Income Tax Rate from 91% to 72%, but the only thing they have done since is remove money from circulation and bring on Depressions, I mean Recessions!

    GOP tax theories ignores the fact that Laffer's Theorem does not give any Numbers, and that the "Bell Curve" he theorizes had a peak and diminishing returns once that peak has passed. If we assume, as the GOP claims to, that Laffer has validity, then the historical indications, limited as they are, indicate that we should have a Top Individual Tax Rate in the area of 72%, a Top Corporate Rate of about 55%, and a reduction in both individual and corporate deductions, since this is the only range of numbers that has ever shown a beneficial result to the Economy.
