Kansas City Mayor Q Finally Admits Move Away From East Side

The politics of Mayor Q's recent move have been overlooked by mainstream media and even our freinds from the 3rd District. 

Remember that our KICK-ASS blog community BROKE THE STORY OF MAYOR Q MOVING TO MIDTOWN THIS SUMMER.

Like it or not and given the spike in home prices . . . Also, the "flight to safety" is understandable given high profile MASS SHOOTINGS the district suffered in 2021.

The residence of the mayor means a lot to local voters.

Right now the Northland is desperately searching for a candidate with appeal on both sides of the bridge. 

Real talk . . .

If it's a choice betwixt Mayor Q and some gringo . . . The 3rd district will still support the incumbent who served as their at-Large rep not so long ago. Only a primary challenge or an EPIC & timely appointment from D.C. will prevent another 4 years from the current 12th & Oak administration.

 Accordingly . . .

 This south side shout out is worth a peek . . .

“South Kansas City taught me how neighborhoods could work at their best,” said Lucas, who lived in the inner city but attended Barstow School as a child. “I want to make sure that exists for future generations.”

Lucas and his wife had a baby last spring and recently moved from the 18th and Vine District to a house in Midtown. “My wife and I got into an argument. I wanted to move to south Kansas City, but I’m a new father and I lost,” he said. “Our new house is nice, but I really would have liked to be near Barstow.”

Lucas wants to see more single-family housing units rehabilitated in parts of south KC, and suggested the various-priced homes in Lee’s Summit around Longview Lake might be a good model.

Like any good politician, Mayor Quinton Lucas complemented south Kansas City, yet expressed concern for its future in a talk with The Telegraph. "You've got great neighborhoods, good council members, and for the most part are a safe and stable part of Kansas City," he said.
