Kansas City Economy Stays Losing 2019?!?!

A reality check amid the ongoing shut down stalemate, shifting markets and a real estate boom that might not be able to sustain $1,300-per-month studio apartment downtown rents.

Take a look:

KMBZ economist: Expect more turbulent times 2019

The economy has been in an upswing over the past few years but an exert says you should not count on steady growth in 2019. The coming year will be a tale of two economies, said Chris Kuehl, managing partner with Armada Corporate Intelligence, with the first half much like 2018 and the second turning into a rough ride.

  2. Head-chopping in 2019 at Sprint may cause issues for JOCO?

    This year will be tough for everybody who didn't inherit a lot of money from their Dad.

  4. Anyone with any basic economic sense and education knew back in 2009 when the Fed's began QE to bail out the banks and wall street said to themselves.. uh oh here we go again. Thanks Obama!

  6. I remember when Sprint first built the new corporate HQ in OP over by Town Center Plaza. It was the biggest development event for the metro at that time. It feels once the Nextel merger went through it went to crap ever since. Lots of pink slips showed up over the years. Now its going to get the biggest ax it has ever seen.


    As for rentals in downtown they are overpriced. River Market west has high rental prices, and they are nice. However, they told me in response to my inquiry of the high costs that the prices were set high because that is where the market is growing. They were renting off perceived future value and not leasing on present value. Now RMW is building a new building across from them and I am not sure what they plan on charging.

    The problem with KCMO is how chopped up it is by the highways. River market district is its own enclave from downtown cut off by the highway. You really need to be careful where you choose to live in KC. Its nice little pockets here and there surrounded by crime and blight. Other cities have much larger areas that are not cut off. The violence of KCMO is just too close to downtown for it to not spill over so much.

    1. You can thank the Cunningham era geniuses for the downtown highway noose that cut the shit out of the neighborhoods of central KC e.g. columbus park, west side, Humboldt etc etc. The same geniuses who put our airport in Iowa. Pendergast gets a bad rap but his graft-y improvements all look pretty good (municipal auditorium, city hall) and at least the money sloshed around in local pockets.
      Radish

  7. The 25 million tourists, downtown hotel, more subsidized luxury apartments and of course the toy train will save KC from any economic issues.

  8. @11:02AM seems like you lack the basic financial economic sense you bemoan. QE began in November 2008 because the economy cratered under the Bush administration. You can thank Bush and Greenspan for that bubble economy. (i.e. unregulated securities sold en mass to unsophisticated banks, rampant speculation and greed, you know standard Republican policies). The more you know!

  9. Right but the fact remains the same shit basically happened during Obama's watch. Grossly overinflated asset values, etc, etc. Obviously unsustainable but the Dem's encouraged it anyway.

  10. Would love to explain how the orange man will explain the trump depression.

  11. ^^ Easy. Fed raising interest rates when not at all warranted. Next, traders are taking their profits and the rest are scared of the incoming Democrats and their obstructionist ways and policies.

    ReplyDelete
  12. ^^Wrong. Manipulated rates at zero for far too long, when GDP surpasses 2.00% is every bit "warranted". You must have gotten your economics degree at Trump University, because like your knowledge of economics, it's worthless. Blaming the decimated stock market of the "fear" of democrats is lazy, stupid and downright wrong. The real culprit is a useless trade war in which tariffs were imposed and a President who has zero fiscal policy and business sense. There, I fixed it for you.

  13. ^^Psst Hey shit-for-brains, worst December market since the depression. 2018 worst year for markets since 2008. Oh no! You'll need to take Trump's dick out of your mouth to give us your Trump University market analysis!

  17. @1:31PM aka Trumpkin. Make sure you let us know when the Dow gains back the 4,000 points it lost this year under Trump. a little 600pt gain today, only makes back what it lost on a half-day of trading on Monday. Math is hard, ain't it Trumpkin? :(

    1. Tsk tsk. So unhinged with your Trump obsession that you don't know who to attack.

      What is it like being in love with Trump? I didn't vote for him and don't obsess over him but you...I mean wow. He lives in your head rent free every minute of every day. :)

  21. @2.15PM Dow on January 2009(Obama in office)=9,034. Dow on December 30,2016(Obama leaving office)=19,762. So you fucking retard, Barry DID in fact, get it over 14,000(these numbers are on the internet you fucking dope). Looks there was also 10,000 point gain under Obama too boot.

    Dow on Jan 6, 2017 (Trump in office)=19,963. Dow on 12/24/18(last business day of Trumps current tenure)= 21,857. So not even a 2,000 point gain in two years of Trump. So your investments are not doing very well at all you fucking liar. Since you asked shit-bird, my 401(k)is down about $25,000 this year, (Dow is down 7.4% YTD) but since I deal in real money not Monopoly money like you, and I own real stocks, not made up ones like you, my investments are not doing so well. Now class is dismissed you fucking liar.

    He is also a career criminal and narcissistic sociopath. He will soon be headed to prison with his lackeys.

  29. ^^^^Worst December market since the depression. Read it and weep geezer. Maybe if you had some money in the market instead of being a taker in our society, you might know that. Now go back to the tax-payer subsidized nursing home you reside in.

  30. @3:31PM you need some real money. That pile of Monopoly money you have is worthless. It's about as worthless as your economics degree from Trump U.
