TKC Fact Check: NOBODY Ever Compared 71 To Berlin Wall

Forgive us for busting our local progressive bubble . . . 

But we've lived in this town all of our lives and NOT ONCE have we we ever heard anyone compare 71 to the Berlin Wall.  

There has always been rough talk about Troost. 

Fear of Prospect and even bittersweet memories of The Paseo . . .

But 71 is nothing more than a traffic disaster that was created WITH THE HELP OF EAST SIDE LEADERS.  

Sorry man, but this is what happens when our local progressives get carried away inside their own echo chamber and start inventing history that most people have forgotten. 

Of course, in fairness, we share the public TV narrative that would otherwise go unnoticed despite Youtube's boosted stats . . .  

"Once dubbed “Kansas City’s Berlin Wall,” Highway 71 was supposed to connect the city. Instead, it cut through the heart of Kansas City’s Black community, displacing thousands of families and dividing neighborhoods. Join host Nick Haines and a panel of elected leaders and transportation experts for a town hall exploring the history and current state of Highway 71 and debating what comes next."
