I grew up in Omaha Nebraska and moved to Kansas City 3 years ago for work. Me and my wife bought a house in Hyde Park last year because we knew Kansas City was going to be home. A diverse city, with a welcoming cummunity❤. As a latino age 31 I’ve already made good friends here and I moved not knowing anyone. I love going to the chiefs game, eating delicious BBQ, supporting Farmers market and much more! There is always something happening in the city and surrounding areas! Thank you Kansa City 🌆
We moved to KC from Minneapolis during the pandemic. We were only planning on staying 2 years. Ended up LOVING it and purchasing our first home up by MCI (Looking forward to your coverage of Tiffany Springs area in the future ;o ) The good-food-per-capita in KC is amazing. There are also so many orgs like Kaizen KC, ReRoll, OtakuLounge, and Naka-Kon that keep the geek community engaged year round - something I haven't seen much of in other cities (usually a comic con or two and that's it!). The cost of living is also a majo reason why we never left - our quality of life is so great here, and it would be at least 15% more expensive to get a similar lifestyle back in MN. We can get all the way down to Overland Park in 30 minutes, but also have easy access to Zona, Legends, River Market, and MCI -- unimaginable ease of access in most other metropolitan areas.
I’m a native Kansas Citian who has lived in the Northeast ever since leaving for college in 1976. I enjoy staying abreast of what’s happening there through your videos. One thing I’ve learned from my years up this way: KC expats take the place with them in their hearts no matter where they live or whether they will ever live there again. But, as that T-shirt they sell at Raygun says, “I lived in Kansas City BEFORE it was cool.” There was a time when I wouldn’t have thought of returning. That time’s long past.
I used to live in Jackson County. I was pretty young, though. Apparently, my family was living paycheck to paycheck (15-8 years ago) with my dad having a director-level job at UMKC and my mom was making pretty good money as well. I don't know how this was the case, but... uuhhhh... scary...
A little annoying that you compare KC to really big cities (mostly CoL perspective), but are most people really making their decisions amongst large cities considering KC?
I live in Joco since 2013 and lately home prices went up. Thanks to people from cali, NY, NJ moved here and paid higher prices than asking prices. You made locals life miserable and now we are facing high prices and unaffordable living.
There's over 100,000 people here in Independence, we appreciate our fireworks and lower prices on the Missouri side, oh also my blue springs school district tax in Independence that sends my kids there so stuff up it your az.
@@mitchell6673Yeah I'm from Garland, Texas, a city of almost 250,000 people, suburb of Dallas. I kinda feel like Independence and Garland are similar in the fact that they both are bigger cities that some people from the area would avoid but when you have a city that big, you're gonna have good and bad areas. I feel like most of Independence is fine honestly. Plus that's where yall got some awesome Mexican markets there, something i really miss about the Dallas area.

The Golden era isn't in KC yet. The Golden era isn't in America yet.. COMING soon.. You better catch Kyle.
I moved away from KC last year. Don't miss the potholes and steel plates in the roads one bit.
Like other cities don’t have those. What a dope
I live in Johnson County, Do not live in Independence unless you have too lol

You know nothing of the area you live if you're as close minded as JOCO

It's gotten better in the past decade. No longer the meth Capitol of the country, at least.
@@mitchell6673independence is a shithole
Don't move to LS. We're full and they won't stop building rentals.
That's because Lee's Summit might be the greatest area in the KC metro.
Had a lot of racist crap go down in lees summit.. lived there all my 20’s and will never go back..same with blue springs area.. yuck
@@PlatinumHustleI have a feeling the real racist is you
