Oh, hell no

If what BlogKC says is true, it's time to go ballistic.

"Real estate developers are asking KCMO to annex over 300 acres of rural Platte County just north of the Kansas City International Airport for a large suburban-style housing development called 'The Lake at Tomahawke Creek.'”

No, no and hell no and here's why:

The city of Kansas City, Missouri is broke, folks.

We have no money.

We have a poor credit rating now--and it's slipping.

We have too much sprawl now.

It's in the flight path of the airport and (as BlogKC reported) "the airport is warning that it will be noisy for anyone living there..."

"The site is far from existing city services..."

I think that's enough right there.

No.

No.

The answer is no.

Are we clear here?

Addendum: And since when do you make the name for an American Indian tool (tomahawk) British by adding an "e" to the end? Does that make any sense to anyone?
