  1. Kansas City can’t fill the office buildings it has already. This isn’t something ANY politician should be considering endorsing at this time.

  4. Easy resolution, H. & R. Block reaches down in its pocket, pulls out a wad of cash, and builds the whole damn thing themselves!

    If it's "built on spec", and it's a truly a worthwhile business venture, then they can do it easily and keep all the vast profits for themselves.

    This is called "Capitalism", Block may have heard of it somewhere.

  6. There's been a recession going back to 2007 .And we are entering a Depression for many And consumers are still taking on debt. Business are starting to lay off. Soon they will be upside-down in ther Home Values and Paying more in taxes. There will be fewer Businesses leasing office space.

  8. Increasing supply without increasing demand simply results in the devaluation of office buildings. How is that supposed to increase the tax base?
