SIZE MATTERS


Kansas City, MO is TOO BIG.

The services needed are never going to be met: Police, Schools, Roads, Light rail, etc... Especially if th City continues to give away the tax base of Downtown.
I have spoken with Police Officers who believe they have too much ground to cover.
We see everyday that the roads are garbage, as well as the sewer sytem; which does plenty of damage to the roads.
We should seriously consider letting some land go. Maybe keep it so the Airport is in the limits; but why does it matter if it is not. Maybe we will lose some Fountains and recognition for being soooo Big. Who cares, take care of the things that actually matter to attract ans retain business and residents, schools, services, crime, even development.

Boston, MA is rather small, not many people live in Boston propper, maybe a million . They live in the surrounding areas 2+million.

KC needs to stop tying to keep up wit the sprawl and take care of the core of the CITY, in order to make any improvements.
