Well there you go, without any concrete benefit I can't see how the rezoning is warranted. If a developer gets scared off by a rezoning that failed because the project wasn't beneficial to the city or the neighborhood and was rightly and soundly rejected by both, when the developer knew it was not zoned for the purpose they had in mind when they bought the property, then I am perfectly fine with them taking their money to Nixa, or whatever town wants to support that kind of development at any cost.

You bemoaned the hostility from others in this thread, but then you say things like "lackluster neighborhood," and "Developers will avoid this city like the plague it is and is becoming!" I can see where an attitude like that might very well inspire some "hostility."

Transplants cry around about how locals are so hostile to them while calling Springfield a clusterfuck and implying that "wealthier" Nixa knows better. This is why. People who move here love to tell everyone how backwards and awful Springfield is and how the town should be run like this or that town. Most people from Springfield wouldn't live in Nixa if you paid us, and you'd have to pay us a whole hell of a lot to afford living there.

Care to explain the "right to work for less" reference?" I am not aware of any legislation with that title.

I will just repeat why I voted no on the Galloway thing. I was for it until the day of voting. The hard sell electioneering going on outside my polling location turned me off. Lady with a baby in a stroller in the rain. Was she saying to vote Democrat to support a woman's right to choose? No, she was pushing to vote in favor on Galloway. They played their hand too hard for me that it was the end of Springfield if we didn't pass it. I voted no to it to send a message to not be drama queens.

If you want to develop in Springfield, can't you just make sure it's properly zoned for the project first?

You might think again about running against him. You might have to withdraw like you did in your last attempt to enter public service. Big boasts on a Redit thread don't get you elected. Results do and you don't have any....

I thought he owned the little taco joint on cherry at pickwick?

Some of those homeless people are gonna choose to be homeless regardless of the help, but the ones who want should def have a free place to go and maybe someway to volunteer or work to earn their stay.

>Nixa, a wealthy suburb of Springfield

Lol, you're saying this as if Nixa has some how culminated this wealth itself as a town when the fact it's a suburb of ~Springfield~ and its commerce has caused wealth to congregate there.

Your two posts and comments SOLELY negatively about Bach means you're likely some pathetic plant with ulterior motives for this mayoral election. These questions aren't genuine and you have presented ZERO facts about anything you've stated except some schmuck's response from a suburb.

I realized long ago it's not worth arguing with ignorant people who refuse to even understand the basics of their supposed opinion - or moreso what they've been told to believe. Go to any other post here claiming Springfield is dangerous, and find the facts of why that is laughably wrong and simply misinformation spread by people too afraid to even cross north of Sunshine.

Nevermind the pothole issue is simple thermodynamics that happen every single year in every place that gets freezing weather. And the city repairs them every single year.

Me too but at least I’m aware, keep it mostly to myself, and when I don’t am actively making fun of myself for it.

I tend to try most new restaurants in town at least once. I looked at Taco Habitat google reviews and decided to never go. Small portions, long wait time and the kicker - complaints of a person in charge (not him) openly yelling and talking down to employees.

Yeah we need to build more strip malls there's not enough empty ones in town already. Also in what world does literally anything cause rent to go down it's almost universally gone up over time. Some more random developments are not going to lower rent. We have plenty of overpriced apartments that sit half empty because no one can afford them. There's also not really a job shortage so much as there's a wage shortage. We don't need more jobs we need jobs that actually pay a living wage in the first place. I do agree that we do absolutely need more homeless shelters though fuck anyone that tries to say otherwise. People should be starving and freezing on the streets.

Or developers will focus on areas that are already zoned for what they need.

Things pretty simple over there in Pleasantville, I hear

He supports making Missouri a “right to work for less” state.

Old hobby lobby parking lot in front of the mall

Whenever the response is something like this it just tells me the nail was hit on the head and there was no relevant argument but to seem “heard”, a response like this occurs. Bless your heart. Excuse me, bless yer heart. Chick-fil-A!!!

He counted on the fact he was a "job creator" and, as-such, the backbone of the "American Entrepreneurial Spirit" that the Executive Branch wouldn't come for him. Guess he learned he was a minnow in a much bigger pond than he thought he was.

It is likely there are many more high profile business owners in Springfield who got away with PPP forgiven loans (that didn't really need them) than this guy who go holding the bag.

Truthfully, if 417 or any other local print media wanted to "make their bones" they would chase down this tip-of-the-iceburg.

>One of the most dangerous cities in the state

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA alrighty then.

Closed yesterday. They came and took everything out today

Springfield is filled with NIMBY’s. They don’t want a homeless population, but also no homeless shelters. Lower rents, but no developments. More jobs, but no new businesses.
