The best is to continue to develop the urban core and have make deals with developers to include some affordable units but we can't just keep passing 50 mil here 50 mil there for affordable housing because like I asked what happens to those folks in a year or 2?

I don't support tax incentives for developers but the reality the new stadium will pass and all housing down around the stadium is going to be ridiculously priced. I won't be voting for the new stadium but people should realize that's what's going to come with the new stadium

I think they are the sort of group that will never be happy but I think their activism is pulling the pendulum back in a way that is for the better.

Because that is politics right? Its not like KC Tenants get to say everyone should be able to live in a nice place for 400 a month and then that happens. But normal working people should be able to live in Kansas City on normal wages and for a lot of places that really is not the case.

I don't pretend to be an expert on all this stuff but I appreciate how much time Bunch has spent on the issue.
