Blueline Bar Bemoans Kansas City Homeless Crisis In River Market

For the record . . . This bit of AI slop is from a previous rant on the same topic from the bar owner. 

Via social media Blueline bar owner Steve Stegall seems to have a great deal of support in his complaints against parking regulations and nearby hangouts for "the unhoused" among many other grievances.  

From time to time local news picks up his plight . . . Here's the latest rant that doesn't really seem like a great advertisement for the bar but EFFECTIVELY reveals that there is A VERY REAL PROBLEM given vagrants shooting up drugs very near his place . . . Check-it: 

"The city’s homelessness problem has become The Blue Line’s nightmare. Just Saturday night we had 4 cop cars, 1 ambulance, and 1 fire truck with their lights on right outside our patio. It looked like a murder scene! For an hour this went on. Our neighbors told us the scene drove customers away while red and blue lights were hitting everyone in the face. How embarrassing! This lost business is on the city. We are sick of dealing with their homelessness problem.

"Now Public Works expects our staff to walk through not only this parking lot, but also use other options that include walking across a bridge where there are even more homeless encampments and even less safety. That is beyond unacceptable."
