@jayharms17@EricWoods Actually this all started when Texas redrew its congressional map last year. The redistricting efforts in blue states were done in retaliation
Bob Brooks, Firefighters union leader and Dem PA-07 candidate, says Governor Josh Shapiro asked his union to support Republican candidate for Pennsylvania Treasurer in 2024 after the Democrat candidate questioned his ability to be VP to Kamala Harris
@JamesNaismith69@HowManyNattys@stoolkansascity@KCTenants For the record if we were going to build a stadium downtown this is definitely a more preferable outcome in terms of location, but don't pretend this is a 100% slam dunk. We can have nuance!
@JamesNaismith69@HowManyNattys@stoolkansascity@KCTenants For the land that's alright privately owned go and develop to your heart's desire. Doesn't erase the fact that you're at best kicking the can down the road 5 years just to start to recoup your investment, and in the interim public programs and our most at-risk will pay the price
@HowManyNattys@stoolkansascity@JamesNaismith69@KCTenants In terms of this specific case I can't speak to how or how many tenants will be affected. I know it was a big factor in the first proposed sight. Many city apartment buildings are majority owned by a handful of corporate landlords that can effectively fix rent prices
@TheLovelyJessi1@fieldofschemes Tax payer dollars are paying for more than half the stadium actually, tax dollars that the constituents didn't even get a say in
@BrettChiefsSzn@jc_bradbury@P4ges2HOF You are being held hostage by billionaire team owners because you they've convinced you that they are the only economic engine in the city. If you want the city to grow sustainably, you invest tax dollars into public programs that benefit everyone. I love sports but at what cost
@stoolkansascity@KCTenants Actually the funding spread is $800 mil from ownership, $1.1 billion in tax payer dollars. For reference that is nearly half the amount of the city's annual budget
@eli_pearce 800 mil is being paid by ownership, the other 1.1 billion is from tax dollars. An additional 1.1 billion deal has been made with Don Hall Jr. and Hallmark for development in the surrounding area. That 1.1 billion is nearly half the city's annual budget
