2024 bout to be a doozie!

The audacity... surprised but not really...I made a post before, in response to the news about The Landing Mall being redeveloped, where I said you can’t really stop gentrification. The only thing we can do is invest or reinvest In our own communities to make sure that the demographics aren’t so one sided.

But with that being said, when the outsiders move in they need to be good neighbors and have some knowledge and respect for the area/culture that they are coming into. Don’t come in with a sense of entitlement and lack of respect & decency that’s displayed in this story.

Imagine having the audacity to suggest a 150-year-old campus should be moved because tuition-paying students have complained about pet owners using it as a dog park.

If you ever needed a reason to invest in commercial & residential real estate, read this article. The Landing Mall located at 63rd & Troost is up for possible redevelopment. This is considered by most to be the hood, but if you know the area or you're familiar with the Troost corridor, you know that improvements to the area have been going on for several years, and development is increasing at a rapid pace. Now ask the question why would they all of a sudden be looking to upgrade this area??

There's been a lot of conversation about gentrification of urban neighborhoods recently. I don't believe there's really anything that can be done to stop it completely, but it can be slowed down. I believe that a healthy economy, with good racial, social & economical diversity is a major component of great city. We can sit back and complain about the gentrification, that is happening and will continue to take place in the urban core, as neighborhood & property values continue to decrease due deferred maintenance, or we can all do our part and start investing or reinvesting in the neighborhoods that many of our families grew up in so that they don't look 100% different from how they used to.

There are A LOT of opportunities for investment in single family(primary residence or rental), multi-family(duplex, triplex, fourplex, apartment buildings), vacant lots, and commercial properties, throughout the city. The fact of the mater is Kansas City is changing and those neighborhoods are going to look different. The question is do we help shape what the urban core our our city looks like or do we leave up to someone else?

Before it was renovated into Kansas City's first indoor mall, New Landing Mall previously served as an outdoor shopping center. Now, Sunflower Development Group has the property under contract.

According to a recent study by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), a $1,000 increase in the cost of a median-priced newly-built home pushes 127

Welcome to the new "east of Troost." It's where $600,000 contemporary homes — coupled with class tension — are rising throughout the Beacon Hill neighborhood. Newcomers voice hope. Old-timers express concern.

I saw this coming 10-15 years ago. when I was a real estate appraiser and home inspector full time....

New apartments along Troost Avenue spur hopes for an economic revival along a historically neglected corridor of Kansas City. But it also raises concerns about gentrification and the lack of affordable housing.
