Does anyone know what the “target” neighborhoods are?
Apparently my neighborhood must be a “target” ‘hood- targeted to help with the city’s budget deficit.
While not doing a damn thing about the dilapidated rentals around here- they ticketed guest & residents’ cars for being “improperly” parked a few inches on the grass beside the street.
The city can deal with whatever slumlord we decide to sell to as we leave KC-MO….
Another city joke… but it ain’t funny. Why don’t they use some of these 20 new investigators to look at current violations. I continue to report a neighborhood eyesore and can’t get the city to every follow up on the outstanding issues.
