You'll probably get killed in the P&L District . . . At least if you operate under the assumptions that are propagandized by Kansas City's paper of record and other Downtown Renaissance cheerleaders.
Check it:
A robbery victim mugged at gunpoint warns downtown party-goers about crime in the new Kansas City Power & Light entertainment district.Still, Kansas City's Mayor doesn't think that crime is a subject that should rank in his top 5 priorities.
"I had my guard down because I thought where I was was safe," said the victim, who did not want to be identified. "I figured it would be a safe place to go, you know, but apparently not."
And, unfortunately Kansas City is still on the hook for MILLIONS worth of bonds for the P&L District that's not only incomplete but also seems to be a lot more dangerous than folks had initially suspected.
All things considered, just as TKC and SO MANY OTHERS had warned: Downtown Cheerleading won't stop crime and if the Mayor is more concerned about imaginary light rail than other realties this city is facing . . . It's not just people who are really in trouble, but also Economic Development which is far more important!!!
