Urban planner fanboys and paid hacks celebrate EVERY set of drawings with glee and imagine a world of luxury housing dominating the downtown skyline. Meanwhile, even residents of posh Crossroads condos & lofts worry about the impact of so much speculation on their growing enclave. Read more:
14-floor apartment building to be proposed in Crossroads
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Kansas City skyline could continue to change with a proposal to build a new 14-story apartment building in the Crossroads. "We are just now seeing new construction for housing, after decades of no new construction at all, let alone for residential," said David Johnson with the Crossroads Community Association.
Slie will be all in for this non-affordable housing as he has never seen a development plan he didn't like.
ReplyDelete^^Wow. Incredible insight. Who cares?
ReplyDeleteJust where do these losers think all these people are going to come from to live in these overpriced dumps?
ReplyDeleteAre tax incentives involved? If so, how much?
ReplyDelete^^I don't know. Did you ask the developer? If not, why are you asking on here? Do your own damn work!
ReplyDeleteAre tax incentives involved? Has anything been built in KCMO the last 20 years without incentives? Could anything be built without incentives considering the project would have to compete with subsidized projects?
ReplyDelete^^I don't know? Why are you asking on here? Don't you have anything better going on in your life? What a loser!

ReplyDeleteI hope mayor dumb shit is smart enough not to cause a parking problem like he has in Hyde Park. But then again he always does things ass backwards, his hard on for developers is pretty strong!
"^^I don't know? Why are you asking on here? Don't you have anything better going on in your life? What a loser!"
ReplyDeleteSo you don't know, either.
14 floors....eyesore.
ReplyDelete@11:48(aka retard) I didn't ask a fucking dumb question either.
ReplyDeleteMore tax incentives for luxury apartments.
ReplyDelete"@11:48(aka retard) I didn't ask a fucking dumb question either."
ReplyDeleteSo you'd prefer not to know? Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.
What passes for "luxury apartments" would shock anyone who came from an actual reasonably sophisticated urban metropolitan area.
ReplyDeleteMost of them look like they were designed by former Soviet architects who got their ideas from the 1930's and somehow adding a granite counter top boosts the rent by hundreds of dollars a month.
And they're all smack in the middle of exciting....absolutely nothing.
In just few years most of these fiascos will look like public housing on the wane.
Landlords always favor ANY rent over an empty building.
If the developers ask for so much as one penny of TIF or other tax breaks- to pardon my Swahilli- fuck them. ;)
ReplyDelete^^Boring. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
ReplyDeleteTony Botello is right, how dare anyone ever move out of their mom’s basement and make anything of themselves.
