If affordable housing is ultimately a math problem, how do these changes improve the math enough to produce more housing rather than simply shifting costs around or appeasing unions?
@QuintonLucasKC I understand but we have never spoken one on one ever. Your work involves listening & working with constituents like myself and others. I would love to have a conversation elsewhere. Yesterday was my first tweet in 10 years. 280 characters isnโt enough to talk policy effectively
@QuintonLucasKC I think youโre great person. You are funny, clever, thoughtful and have a big heart. I just believe there are some changes the city can make to grow positively. My motivation for doing this is so when I do have a family someday I will want to staying KCMO and not move back to KS
@QuintonLucasKC Saying hello at an event is not what I am looking for. If you have 30 minutes where I can share some thoughts around policy changes I believe would benefit the city I would enjoy the opportunity.
@QuintonLucasKC I have a lot of ideas Iโd love to share and discuss with you, but you have never responded to my calls, emails, snail mail or messages on X. Please let me know if you have some time to chat.
@QuintonLucasKC@MayorLucasKC Iโve tried to get ahold of you several times over the past few years, but unless someone is โimportantโ or a news outlet, you donโt respond. Iโve supported you in the past and would still welcome a conversation. Until then, Iโll keep calling things out publicly.
@QuintonLucasKC Non fatal shootings are up 15%, so the city is actually more violent, but peopleโs โaimโ is getting worse thanks goodness. This is misleading. Iโm happy deaths are down, but the city is more violent.
@QuintonLucasKC@utekcmo2012@Quinton You are trying to imply the city is safer because murders are down, even though no non fatal shootings are up. Do you care to respond to to this point?
@QuintonLucasKC I have tried texting and calling you, but could have the wrong number. A friend and I need your help with an urgent safety issue. Their business is in danger of being burned down. Please let me know the best way to connect and explain more. - Beck Johnson
