If you don’t go watch the women’s soccer games and pay for the parking its probably because you’re sexist tbh

I’m guessing this is what happens a lot when it’s freezing or hot as hell out. Maybe they’ll start charging for it and that will change

Mecca would have shed a tear for the dude and gave him 20 bucks I’m sure

In another city where I lived the light rail was a rolling homeless shelter, especially in the winter. It's heated and has wifi, and they unofficially eliminated fares by putting the whole payment thing essentially on the honor system. The last time I rode it I saw a homeless dude just whip it out and piss right on the floor. It used to be mostly unscary at least in the day, but I quit riding it after that.

And in that moment you knew you were seeing and smelling progress.

Must have been humbling

You'll get way more concerts.

The soccer stadium does look cool coming across the river. So it’s got that going for it

They eliminated transit cops and stopped checking tickets for reasons you'd have to discuss in over in the DC forum. Seeing people urinate in public had become common in that town, but inside a car on the train was a new one for me. Aggressive panhandlers on the trains were a problem too.

Don't get me wrong, I'd like it if KC had more transit options, but if they aren't going to keep it clean and safe people aren't going to use them.

Hop on the street car

Or the casino can make some parking money.

They’ll be used. There’s a whole subset of urban gen z that practically vomit when they see a car per Reddit. They all busted extra fat nuts over the expansion from River market to Berkeley park. So they better use it

Maybe so. They can charge 60 to park on asphalt so that’s already a better deal

crossroads spot makes too much sense. way more attendance in this location. tons of extra people who might go early/stay late to hang downtown or crossroads. tons of new jobs to take care of all the additional spenders which increases tax revenues for the city. extra money made by royals increases payroll so we field competitive teams that increases attendances even further.

if people are against crossroads location, they hate our city.

Your average Mayor Q voter ^^

dabergtobirden 02-23-2024 05:46 PM

you prefer locations that give our city fewer jobs and less tax revenues for city programs? why? crossroads location would undoubtedly be better overall for the city.

You would really think they all just drove in from BFE Kansas or someone had grabbed an uncontacted tribesmen from the Amazon and dropped them off at Times Square... but nope, live in OP and just cannot fathom getting around downtown and finding a place to park.

LMAO

If I can’t back in my pickup that I’m spending 60% of my monthly household budget on and light up a grill then this just ain’t going to work for me
