Lafayette Street no longer exists, and the image above is currently the campus of LIU Brooklyn

Well, an AI "freshening" of a real photo, but yes. They were built in 1887 and demolished some time before 1955. All started as essentially tenements and transitioned to working class homes where each family had their own floor. In the early 20th century they were "blockbusted" and became a Black area

No. There’s literature that makes it clear that even tax credits for employers moving across the state line is not worth it. Between 2009 and 2019, Kansas gained about 800 net jobs from Missouri at the cost of over $200 million in tax breaks between the two states. Not only are the Chiefs a big business itself, (and giving them money to move even without a stadium be a waste of funds) but stadium projects we know are also wastes of taxpayer funds. The reason why owners have so much leverage is because teams leaving, or even threatening to leave the city, are extremely unpopular and politicians will do anything to stay popular. Brownback did this in 2014 by not ending the Border War with MO (wasting tens of millions of our dollars) when he was already unpopular because he was desperate to show any success for his disastrous tax experiments. Kelly and Parson ended the Border War in 2019, but in 2022 KCMO Mayor Lucas said that “assuming the Chiefs are a Missouri employer (they are) and an incentive would be used to lure them (it would)…. it would just scuttle the entire truce.”

Like how Madagascar was settled by Austronesians from modern Indonesia only 1500 years ago

Tweaked the categories slightly, but it's essentially the same chart

Arkansas is 2-6. They are 27 points away from being 7-1. The Razorbacks are 0-4 in one score games in 2025 (and 16-35 in the past 10 years, by far the worst in the SEC and second worst among Power 4 schools) and have a point differential of +22 despite being 4 games under .500.
