I know the whole world works this way. But it still blows my mind how we can spend so much fucking money to build shit for sports but not enough to fix the real problems in our local state/county.

I understand the appeal to build a better stadium to completely hook the masses and distract em with sports. Just like the Roman’s and coliseums, building shit to distract the peasants with entertainment from what’s really going on 🙄🙄🙄🙄

The situation between the local governments in Portland and the Blazers (namely owner Tom Dundon) has deteriorated to the point where relocation is a real possibility: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7457423/2026/07/19/tom-dundon-trail-blazers-portland-mota-center-nba/

Kansas City has been through this same song-and-dance a number of times, but this seems more realistic than ever for a number of reasons:

1. The two top markets without an NBA team, Seattle and Las Vegas, are getting expansion franchises, and the league would rather cash-in on the expansion fees versus moving an existing team there and miss out on that windfall.
   
2. The next two “trendy” markets, Austin and Nashville, are also no-go’s because they’re in the Spurs and Grizzlies’ existing markets; the league would almost certainly block a second team in Tennessee, for instance.
   
3. Dundon isn’t looking to sell the team and the Blazers would be a tenant wherever they go, which means KC wouldn’t need to put an ownership group together (which has hampered past NBA/NHL efforts), nor would we need to build a new arena, though they’d most certainly ask for a renovation as part of a relocation agreement.
   
4. The only other markets in play also have question marks- San Diego’s arena isn’t built yet and would be opposed by the Lakers and Clippers; Tampa may be opposed by the Magic; etc. an international move (Vancouver, Montreal, Mexico City) also hasn’t been discussed to this point.

Realistically, it may come down to us and St. Louis if the Blazers relocate. You hate to see a city lose their team, but there’s a non-zero chance the NBA returns to KC for the first time since the Kings left for Sacramento.

"But Revitalization Unlimited is all but admitting that its goal is not to build a data center tower. It only proposed a data center tower because that’s the type of project that will receive the highest possible appraisal, which in turn would produce the biggest tax deduction for its investors."

So, it's even worse than a data center- it's a gigantic investor scam dressed up as a data center.

I just saw that In-N-Out is expanding to Colorado and even Idaho. Kansas Citians crave In-N-Out- it would be so profitable. Do you think we'll be getting an In-N-Out anytime soon?

I don't know what has been happening but for two weeks now I have had strangers coming up onto my porch, not knocking, not ringing my door bell and leaving within a minute or two. I have a camera so I can see faces but these aren't people I know and I don't have family or friends that come over unannounced. I don't want to be paranoid but at my old house something similar happened where I caught a female trying my doorknob then digging through a flower pot for a key assuming no one was home. But it feels familiar like someone is expecting my door to be unlocked.. I keep it locked because I work from home and have small children. But I need another perspective, am I being paranoid?

Spotted along Armour Rd.

Can we get at least one of these jerks out of office?

It came in a few minutes early, and the guy at the Freight House gate was kind enough to let me in to see it! It will be on display all of tomorrow and leave at 9AM Thursday.

Not exactly local politics, as it's a state-wide thing, but very important locally as well.

This was that car fire on 35 southbound yesterday by the ferris wheel.

I drive past this abandoned building all the time and I’ve always wondered what it was because the sign always sticks out to me. It seems like it was a store or a bar. The images are from google earth, even going back to 2007 I couldn’t see much evidence of it being an operation. My relatives who’ve lived nearby either don’t know or don’t remember and I can’t find any information about it online so reddit was my last resort. Does anybody know what this was??

Learn from my mistake. I have a medical condition that flares up unpredictably, often necessitating an ER visit or hospitalization. A couple of years ago I ended up in the hospital on voting day and really had to advocate for a ballot hard. Not because staff didn’t want to help, it’s just not something that happens often. A staffer in a different department just heard about my insistence and called my county election board, who sent out two staffers who brought an absentee ballot, verified my registration, sealed and took my ballot with them.

Also, nursing homes are federally mandated to ensure their residents rights to vote are facilitated, unless deemed incapacitated.

I didn't see a thread for this, but I picked up lunch with a coworker there at the new location yesterday. I'm sure I'm not the only person working in the crossroads that was missing this.

Going to be in Lee's summit wanting to get some recommendations on options to see the oddessey from the 70mm , digital iMax or the Dolby cenima

My kid goes to a chain dentist and I don't really want to go to their partner orthodontist. Does anyone have any recommendations in the neighborhood of Waldo/PV/OP/Leawood?

I'm looking af apartments and was curious is BH Property Management was a decent company to rent from. Any advice is appreciated!

My puppy is needing a new home. Only had her abt a month. She is awesome. Unfortunately one of my other dogs (i have two others) is not getting along with Stella. She is loving, cute, and pretty funny. She is a beagle. She is abt 16 weeks old. She is up2date on her shots and has not been spayed.

Hey all! My child is getting ready to begin a very challenging period of their high school education.  While they have no issue with any sort of mathematics, they somewhat struggle with the writing side of homework.  Mostly with longer form essays and such.

My partner and I are looking for a writing tutor that would be able to help them strengthen their approach to longer essays and just generally improve their skills.

If anyone on here has any recommendations I would love to hear them.  Thanks so much!
