In other words, city resources funded with our tax dollars that everyone in KC should have the opportunity to vote for or against.Bryan M.

Who are these 6,000 people? Yeah right, on a two-mile route where few take the streetcar to get from their homes to work or have the money from their city hall or bank teller jobs to ride a streetcar to lunch at downtown restaurants every day.

The streetcar cannot cause an increase city wide, it can only move activity from areas away from the line into areas near the line. So some areas decline because of the streetcar. <br /><br />Even claims of economic development near the line are questionable since they are usually accompanied by TIFs and other incentives. But it cannot be questioned that any increase in taxes has a negative impact on economic development unless the increase results in tangible benefits to residents and businesses. On that point the streetcar fails miserably.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-4143424273141781982017-08-10T06:50:16.344-05:002017-08-10T06:50:16.344-05:00FACT : The COMMIE LIB'TARD Democratic scum,, w...FACT : The COMMIE LIB'TARD Democratic scum,, will never abide by elections, once they've been called out for their SCAMS, Fraud & Corruption, LIES !! <br /><br />So, instead they will just go ahead and continue with their plans, REGARDLESS of how the VOTERS actually Voted !! <br /> <br />Exactly how the Democratic COMMIE LIBERALS operate too !! <br /> <br />Welcome to the Democratic Communist Terrorist Party, are ya Enjoying it yet ???? <br /> <br />Next UP - they are coming for ALL of your MONEY thru HIGHER TAXES of all sorts, rather YOU like it or NOT !!! <br /> <br />YOU WILL SUBMIT to the Democratic COMMUNIST Party or else !!!! <br /> <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
