Will Seven New Luxury Skyscrapers Save Downtown Kansas City???

Stolen Liberated a social media scumbag who stole it from somebody else . . . Check the lineup: 

1) 14th and Wyandotte- 27-story high rise apartment/hotel complex (although Lux has recently come under fire for several things)

2) 16th and Broadway- 28-story project with 250-350 apartments and a 200-250 room hotel

3) East Village- Royals stadium/ballpark district (deadline to put a tax proposal on the 2024 ballot for partial public funding is January)

4) 12th and McGee- Copaken Brooks 700 apartment and 20k retail space

5) 14th and Baltimore- Four Light at the L-shaped space around B&B Theaters

6) Main and Truman- 506 apartment and 85k of retail where the now-closed Calvert's Express sits

7) 13th and Main- new high-rise on top of the existing retail space
