Quinton LucasGUEST
And can we opine on 30 years of sales tax incremental growth? and other incremental growth in our county? 30 years in the entire county? I mean, we had fairly fair debates, Pete, and you watched them, and maybe were part of some of them, on an impact area that was redirecting taxes in KCMO that's basically crown center over to the state line, i.e.
Quinton LucasGUEST
the West Bottoms, if you're thinking about it.
Quinton LucasGUEST
Right? That's a small portion of our city.
Quinton LucasGUEST
The, I guess, believed or proposed district over in Kansas is 52 times as large.
Anthony ShermanGUEST
Not the same thing.
Anthony ShermanGUEST
West Bottoms is like on the other side of the-
Steven St. JohnHOST
Down by where Kemper Arena is.
Anthony ShermanGUEST
Yeah.
Steven St. JohnHOST
Yeah.
Anthony ShermanGUEST
That's West Bottom.
Steven St. JohnHOST
That's West Bottoms.
Gehrig DieterGUEST
And what's Crossroads? Where's Crossroads?
Steven St. JohnHOST
You heard me talking about, uh, Kansas City traditions and growing up in Kansas City.
Steven St. JohnHOST
Well, one of those traditions, anyone that has, uh, spent time in Kansas City knows that the best haunted houses in the world are down in the West Bottoms, and I'm talking about the Edge of Hell and The Beast, and I will be back down there, uh, on Saturday, October 24th, and I can't wait for that.
Steven St. JohnHOST
But right now, we have some special visitors in studio.
Steven St. JohnHOST
The Queen of Haunts is here with us.
BrandyAUDIENCE
Uh, this has been a concern for me since they announced it, 'cause I live over near Van Brunt and I-70.
BrandyAUDIENCE
Um, my work commute won't be affected, um, but my commute to go pick up my daughter from West Bottoms at her job Monday through Friday will be, which is, like, a 10-minute drive right now.
BrandyAUDIENCE
It's gonna change to who knows how long.
BrandyAUDIENCE
So that's a big concern.

WierHOST
Like, will you move that here? Is there not room
JaymeHOST
in the West Bottoms somewhere? You know, like we renovated the Rock Island Bridge.
JaymeHOST
Is there not space over there for it so that at least it's still around somewhere and it's still in the city somewhere? I don't get how we went from River Market to it being in St.
JaymeHOST
Louis to it being in St. Joe or Leavenworth.
W2HOST
We got to sit down with him for an interview.
W2HOST
And then at the end of the night, he followed us down the street to West Bottoms.
W2HOST
Yeah, he showed up at West Bottoms
Jonathan HaslarHOST
Whiskey Company for the after party.
W2HOST
And he's like, would it be cool if I pulled these out?
Jonathan HaslarHOST
You know, reps started coming in from the whiskey festival.
Jonathan HaslarHOST
It was a great after party.
Jonathan HaslarHOST
And honestly, if you guys haven't been down to Kansas City and checked out the Kansas City West Bottoms Whiskey Company down in the West Bottoms, like, please do so.
Salisa KalakalCORRESPONDENT
One ordinance authorizes $615 million in bonds to fund the city's part of construction costs.
Salisa KalakalCORRESPONDENT
Another creates a stadium impact area stretching from the West Bottoms to the Crossroads and south to Union Hill.
Salisa KalakalCORRESPONDENT
In that area, most increases in taxes would be redirected for the next 30 years to pay off city debt.
Salisa KalakalCORRESPONDENT
Brooke Sherman, a president with the Royals, says their approvals are a huge step.
WierHOST
Any increase in that tax revenue within the stadium impact area over the next 30 years will be directed... back to pay for the stadium.
WierHOST
So if electricity rates go up for any reason, customers in the Crossroads, Westside, West Bottoms, and Union Hill will spend more money on their utilities.
WierHOST
Those utility bills are taxed.
WierHOST
That tax money will go to the stadium.
JaymeHOST
I wish, yeah, in different modes of transportation maybe, like it doesn't have to be streetcar.
JaymeHOST
I wish that we could figure out a way to make the West Bottoms not so isolated from downtown because that's a really cool area that we've been trying to do more with and we've taken some steps, but the problem with the West Bottoms is that there's no easy way to walk there.
JaymeHOST
There's no obvious way to get there from downtown.
JaymeHOST
It'd be great if somehow we could figure out a way to make that less isolated from downtown.
JaymeHOST
Let's see.
JaymeHOST
Yeah.
JaymeHOST
Somebody reminded us there used to be a streetcar line that went to the West Bottoms.
JaymeHOST
Yeah.
