The passing of question #2 would have removed that $2k buffer for residents of Jackson County.

It was rumored that people could actually go up IN the rolling roof and watch the game from ABOVE the playing field.

If they want the roof to pass, they need to tax something that residents wont use that much like a hotel or rental car tax. Those always seem to work well.

It was risky, to build such tall towers in N.Y. One can never fully predict all future eventualities. Like, a 7.0 earthquake in some hidden fault that may or may not lie under K.C. Or the Monster tornado that would gust up and under said roof and carry it away like Toto back to Kansas. |

True other events could occur in which the roof could get destroyed, but if that happened I am pretty sure anything else in that area would be gone as well. As for the earthquake in KC, assuming there is a hidden one that all of the geologists happened to not see, and then that it suddenly hit with a 7.0 I am positive that the roof would be the last thing we would be thinking about being as very few, if any, of the buildings in KC are designed for earthquakes being we are not in a seismic region and thus civil engineers do not have to design for them according to building codes. |
