04/29/2019 Arthur Gallaway I'm with you!!! 👍I finally got outta there in Dec. 2008 & have never looked back. But just heads up, in Feb 2008, while at work, at least 2 thugs broke into my home & stole anything that could be carried out.
@@floridastaterpemergenceyre3833 I haven't a clue who you are or where you reside and don't really care. I've lived in Missouri now since 1972. I'm not afraid of living here and never will!
I dont know where you got your info from but most of the places you mentioned are not what you said they are...I know, I've lived in Missouri all my life!
So have I. Clayton, Town and Country, Chesterfield, Ballwin, Kirkwood, all wonderful cities with low to no crime, great shopping, great schools, and fantastic real estate/housing. If anything, you probably don’t make enough money to live in those towns. The only ones I’m skeptical of are Bonnie Terre and Columbia. Columbia is a college town and that’s about it, so I wouldn’t want to live there. And the claim that Bonne Terre is diverse? More like hillbilly’s, but whatever.
@@rogermurph101 excuse me, my income level has no bearing on the TRUTH, I love my Show Me State...and I did say most of the places they mentioned, so in order for you to look a lil more intelligent, read and understand a person's comment before you respond and I guarantee it will help...GOD Bless you though!!!
Bonne Terre? Well it is the cheapest like you said lol. What about doing another list but only choosing one town in the st. Louis area and then the rest throughout the state? Oh and I lived in como for quite a while moved there at 18- not for college but for my job and I loved it there! And my best friend moved there- 5 years ago and loves it now that she has a family. The only bad thing is the crime is rising in certain areas really fast 😔 And you forgot one of the best places to live- Hannibal! Actually it could be on both best places to visit and best places to live 😉 .....so much history and tourist things etc. For visitors and living there is pretty great too. ☺ I think the list is ok- with the exception of bonne terre- no one wants to live there lol and the fact that many of the places listed are in the stl area- it would be fun to see a list that has places all over the state and just maybe put stl area- like town and country etc and have it be one place. ☺
I live in Jeff City and we were just voted as the sixth best place in the country for young professionals. We have a very low unemployment rate, low cost of living, a ton of development, and you're 30 minutes from Columbia or you're 30 minutes from the Lake of Ozarks. However, if I had to choose the "best" town to live in Missouri (a relative concept) I would point to Hermann. Hermann has hundreds of things to do, wine country, is the most beautiful town in Missouri, virtually NO crime, low unemployment, affordable housing, great place to start a new business, close to HWY 70 access, safe school, and great place overall to raise a family. The one problem with Hermann is the high cost of utilities.

I've lived in Missouri my whole life and I honestly laughed at this video. West Plains was the only town I agreed with being on the list. Springfield is a great place to live and I feel that the Kansas City side has great towns such as St. Joe, Maryville, Excelsior Springs, Lawson and so many more. The video should of had more focus on small towns.
Have you been to all these cities? If not, what gives you the right to think they shouldn't be on the list? I have lived in Ballwin for over 40 years. It is beautiful, clean and virtually no crime. A place where you can leave your doors unlocked and wake up alive.
Yeah lol, I’ve lived in Kansas City all my life in varying neighborhoods. From shabby, hood like places, to expensive, nice neighborhoods... and not ONCE have I been catcalled, or had my house vandalized or broken into. I’ve felt safe everywhere! I went to public schools, and they were all kept in nice shape, and had good teachers. So Idk why it wasn’t on the list.
St Louis city is small and compact , only 63 square miles. The old city is almost entirely inner city.. That skews the crime stats compared to other large U.S. cities. Detroit is 139 square. miles. Yet, St Louis has popular gentrifying areas with great 19th century architecture. Don't count out St Louis.
@@Adrianahgsefltyib11 I live in San Antonio Texas which has 505 sq miles. Much of the city of San Antonio looks like suburbs. If 20 miles of the higher crime parts of San Antonio were compared with 20 miles of the highest crime areas of St Louis we'd probably not see much difference. Texas law makes it generally easy for a city to annex adjacent unincorporated areas and somewhat expensive for these areas to resist being annexed. North St Louis is losing population and eventually many parts will be redeveloped. Its a shame that so much beautiful architecture was lost during the decline
Don't forget about Baden! It is a shame. As a kid we used to walk the streets at Bellefontaine Neighbors at night; we'd jump a bus (as young kids) to get to the Northwest Mall or Jamestown, play at the arcades all day and jump the bus back home. I visited BN a year ago for a wedding and I wouldn't dare unlock my car doors. That whole area has become a shit hole.
These people are funny they are just telling a whole bunch of lies to get people to move in around st. Louis and other places there's more crying there than anywhere
I assume you meant to say crime and not crying? Well, you’d be wrong. The municipalities mentioned in this video experience virtually no crime. The only reason St. Louis makes that most dangerous city list every year is because the city proper has a population of only 300,000. The metro area, which includes most of the cities in this video, has a population closer to 3,000,000. If the entire St. Louis metro area were included in those rankings, St. Louis wouldn’t be anywhere near the top 50 most dangerous cities. And in the city itself, most of that violent crime is isolated to a handful of blocks.
Wow...no Branson, Cape Girardeau, lake of the Ozarks, hell not even Eureka or Washington? Ste Genevieve? Springfield? Rolla? St James? How about covering the real state and not just St Louis and West County? Btw, if you are out of state, the "mall" in Chesterfield is dead and empty literally
@@juliecopelandbarrows2971 no I mean the Chesterfield mall. If you call the bookstore and Cheesecake Factory alive and vibrant, then you have a different opinion than most. Crestwood has been deserted for years yes, but Chesterfield is in a death spiral. I think you are referring to the outlet mall or the bottoms, not the actual mall. I have pictures on my phone showing exactly what a ghost town the mall is and it was taken on a Saturday night. No Sears, no Spencer's, no bath and body works, no hot topic, no old Navy, no Victoria secret, no Dillard's, no slackers, no Lids, etc. Basically it's the dirt mall from the movie Mallrats now.
@@juliecopelandbarrows2971 perhaps you are talking about West County is Des Peres? The one with the dove? That's about 20 miles from Chesterfield mall if that is where you are referring to and yes I agree it is doing well
Cape is dying on the vine. The people prefer family and lineage so you will never fit in. I have never made a friend here, the people do not welcome outsiders. Jobs are for people who know each other, and there are very few to be had. It is very beautiful tho esp the St Gen area. It's nice if you have money for weekend getaways but you probably won't. This is a State with more minuses than plusses. I would leave and relocate but I'm too poor.
I moved to Missouri from Illinois, and I love it. We have the best firearm and self-defense laws in the nation. We have all four of the weather seasons. It's a medium to medium-low tax state. As with every state there are some bad areas, but overall it is definitely a great place to live.
USMC Vet I left NW Mo after enlisting in the Corps in 1970. I moved to the retirement list in 1990. I missed the four seasons, the hunting and fishing, Bearcat Football, and friendly neighbors. I did not like the unfriendly taxes and the lack of jobs. Sadly, I couldn't afford to move home. I hope you find a future there. Semper Fi.
I was born and raised in St. Louis and I fled it 10 years ago. It's a hell hole. My friend said the crime is spilling out from the North side now and into South County which used to be okay. Clayton and Chesterfield are nice if you can afford it. Most people can't.
I've lived in MO almost all of my life and this video targets out of state urban dwellers. If you want to learn about the rest of the state, talk to a fisherman or a hunter and learn about all the natural resources Missouri has to offer. There is more to Missouri than housing costs and median incomes. As the song says: Hunting and fishing and loving every day!
Also, they're really bad with their building codes. A lot of houses are set up to dump their septic waste into the lakes. Also Google Lake of the Ozarks electrocution deaths 🤐

Absolutely ridiculous - I live there now. Try paying property tax on your cars, etc forever. You don't do that in FL, TX, WY and many other places. Very tired of the Hood mentality too. No a good place.
@@IAmHisBeloved5 I forget the percentage but on a 2014 Ford Escape we paid $500 last year. It goes down each year a bit but its 8.25% on the new car then your paying each year.
Far far Away thank you for responding. Wow! $500 is a lot. And y’all have to pay state taxes as well, right? I’m wondering if the cost of living is even cheaper than somewhere like TX being that you have to pay property taxes on cars and state taxes every year. What else do y’all have to pay property taxes on?
Melanie, coming from an actual resident of Missouri. Stay clear of most places on this list. Especially Kirkwood. Around where I grew up. It is infested with gangs and high criminal activity. South saint Louis is the worst place to live. It is ranked (whole city of st. Louis) as the deadliest city in the U.S. 13th deadliest city in the world. Missouri is fine in some areas but I do have to mention the weather. We are in tornado alley and receive harsh storms from Kansas (the sate west from us). If you want a good place to live, I can tell you some places. Listen to the comments.
I lived in wentzville and I highly recommened that area. Its growing fast but its nice and close to a lot of fun things. But my parents live at lake of the ozarks and the summers are so fun.
I was born in Columbia Missouri raised in Higginsville Missouri small town but I currently live in Warrensburg Missouri. I don't like some of the places in Missouri but I am proud to live in Missouri. Go Missouri tigers!
It depends on what you want. Got kids? Good schools are important. You make lots of money? High home values are important. I just retired in another state and bought land in SE MO, near a little town called Fredericktown. Rocks, St. Francois Mountains, clean rivers, National forests, canoeing, hunting, fishing, hiking, peace and quiet... I am building a house that will be three times the size I could afford here because it’s so much cheaper there. The scenery is fantastic. I prefer small towns. I’m tired to death of crowds. But, that’s me.
Why did they not mention anything about Sedalia LOL, I love living here in central Missouri... We got the State Fair, and lots of history in the downtown too💁♂️
@Chel Marie oh! From what I know, and especially from talking to the black folks - we have some of the nicest black communities and we have more white people problems here than with the black by statistics 😂
@Chel Marie the only racism problems you could have are in the bigger cities like KC and St louis,, because that's where the democratic leaders rule. We love our black people here in the smaller towns like Sedalia

As a native Kirkwoodian (and St. Louisan) currently living in San Diego, I am happy and proud to discover that most of these cities were in the consolidated St. Louis metropolitan area.
I already had to block some people for talking garbage about this state. In some people's little worlds it is all a dump. But in the real world it's not. St. Louis County has many suburbs. Welston, MO is trouble. High crime. And it is time we clean up the city of St. Louis and it is time for us to clean up Welston. I am going to try to attend a next Transit Oriented Development meeting.
Wow seriously misleading! I’ve lived in this state all my life and can not understand where the hell these people got this information. Why did they fail to mention any other region but around St Louis? Epic fail.
Come live in elsberry Missouri its super small but it's great. Its in the northeast part about a hour away from st.louis. one of the best schools besides the slight drug use.
Bro I live in the southeast part of the state it sucks down here but the crime rate isn’t near as bad as St Louis, and the price of living is pretty cheap

I have been living 50 miles west of st.louis all of my 56 years. That city is filthy and dangerous. The areas mentioned here are nice but if you travel outside the good neighborhoods...duck
I live 25 miles south of St. Louis, both grew up in South St. Louis, Bevo area, when it used to be great, to close for me, sick and tired of seeing all the crime on the news anymore, now a police officer is arrested and charged with a felony for shooting a robbery victim who resisted arrest and wanted to fight the officer on the parking lot, so the officer shot her, and now the officer is the criminal, we thought only that shit happened in California, we are moving in 3 weeks, way north, almost to Iowa, and getting away from all the bullshit, we don't leave our 9 mm's out of site anymore.
FYI- there is no Sprouts in Kirkwood, it is Fresh Thyme but that is not the farmers market they are referring to. It is an outdoor venue and not a chain store. Would be nice if they did their research.
I live in Missouri there is this small town called Fulton that I once lived in for a bit and it is the best city probably in the entire midwest. Such a great place.
You will BASICALLY not get shot in Columbia if you are not involved with gangs, drugs, prostitution, or you don't get caught sleeping with someone else's someone. If you rounded up everyone who got shot in Columbia last year and they didn't know their shooter....all of them could sit together in a booth at Dairy Queen.
When I was a kid there was a drive by shooting at the Columbia Chuck E. Cheese and for years I was under the impression that Columbia was just a hotbed of crime and violence, then when I was there as an adult it was very tame lol.
I went to college there for a year in the 80s and people then thought it was great. But now I hear that there is a lot of crime and drug use, and the city hasn't developed much over the decades.
That's because there so many great places to live in Missouri that it's hard to narrow it down to only 10. Most of the small towns would only be attractive to certain people though. My parents lived in the middle of the Ozarks and they loved it-----but a lot of people would not enjoy that lifestyle.
I love Missouri I was born and raised here and if you are planing to move here that’s great. Just one thing you have to be prepared for is the weather it is crazy.
I live in missouri and you could not pay me to live in St. Louis not in this life time
I moved to Jeff City from St Louis because the city has become a hell-hole overall.
Jason Jeff is a fucking dump but ok
Agreed, St.Louis is one of the worst in crime.I live in Columbia, Mo and love it.just moved from the God forsaken Illinois.

I assume you meant to say crime and not crying? Well, you’d be wrong. The municipalities mentioned in this video experience virtually no crime. The only reason St. Louis makes that most dangerous city list every year is because the city proper has a population of only 300,000. The metro area, which includes most of the cities in this video, has a population closer to 3,000,000. If the entire St. Louis metro area were included in those rankings, St. Louis wouldn’t be anywhere near the top 50 most dangerous cities. And in the city itself, most of that violent crime is isolated to a handful of blocks.
Wow...no Branson, Cape Girardeau, lake of the Ozarks, hell not even Eureka or Washington? Ste Genevieve? Springfield? Rolla? St James? How about covering the real state and not just St Louis and West County? Btw, if you are out of state, the "mall" in Chesterfield is dead and empty literally
Dennis Helm Still has a theater at least.
Chesterfield mall is very busy & vibrant. You must mean Crestwood.
@@juliecopelandbarrows2971 no I mean the Chesterfield mall. If you call the bookstore and Cheesecake Factory alive and vibrant, then you have a different opinion than most. Crestwood has been deserted for years yes, but Chesterfield is in a death spiral. I think you are referring to the outlet mall or the bottoms, not the actual mall. I have pictures on my phone showing exactly what a ghost town the mall is and it was taken on a Saturday night. No Sears, no Spencer's, no bath and body works, no hot topic, no old Navy, no Victoria secret, no Dillard's, no slackers, no Lids, etc. Basically it's the dirt mall from the movie Mallrats now.
@@juliecopelandbarrows2971 perhaps you are talking about West County is Des Peres? The one with the dove? That's about 20 miles from Chesterfield mall if that is where you are referring to and yes I agree it is doing well
Cape is dying on the vine. The people prefer family and lineage so you will never fit in. I have never made a friend here, the people do not welcome outsiders. Jobs are for people who know each other, and there are very few to be had. It is very beautiful tho esp the St Gen area. It's nice if you have money for weekend getaways but you probably won't. This is a State with more minuses than plusses. I would leave and relocate but I'm too poor.
Best place to live in Missouri is anywhere but Missouri
SEE COMMENTS!
You nailed it.
Good. Don't move here. You aren't wanted.
@@herbearness5558 I do you moron, that's how I know it sucks here.
I been lived and studied in COMO over 5 yrs, Missouri became my 2nd hometown, will love Columbia MO forever

They left off Ashland it's a amazing little town almost no crime and an amazing school district. Near Columbia lived there my entire life.
I moved to Missouri from Illinois, and I love it. We have the best firearm and self-defense laws in the nation. We have all four of the weather seasons. It's a medium to medium-low tax state. As with every state there are some bad areas, but overall it is definitely a great place to live.
@rayboi33 🤣
Illinois also has all four seasons.

I left NW Mo after enlisting in the Corps in 1970. I moved to the retirement list in 1990. I missed the four seasons, the hunting and fishing, Bearcat Football, and friendly neighbors. I did not like the unfriendly taxes and the lack of jobs. Sadly, I couldn't afford to move home. I hope you find a future there. Semper Fi.
Semper Fi brother...I moved from Chicago 7 years ago..Springfield MO is my home now.
My MOS was 3516
From bonne Terre mo. Work in stl... I'd rather live under a rock. In death valley.
This is a one sided presentation and you left out more than half the state out of your information so this is not objective at all.
more than half of the state...70% of the state.
I was born and raised in St. Louis and I fled it 10 years ago. It's a hell hole. My friend said the crime is spilling out from the North side now and into South County which used to be okay. Clayton and Chesterfield are nice if you can afford it. Most people can't.
I live in Kirkwood and there are plenty of affordable properties and beautiful neighborhoods. Yes, there are horribly awful parts of the metro area.
I've lived in MO almost all of my life and this video targets out of state urban dwellers. If you want to learn about the rest of the state, talk to a fisherman or a hunter and learn about all the natural resources Missouri has to offer. There is more to Missouri than housing costs and median incomes. As the song says: Hunting and fishing and loving every day!
except for fat guys with beards
Gany Meade Didn’t you know that Dad-bods are in and so are beards!
West Plains has the best water I have ever tasted. 2 libraries. Quiet and beautiful
There is more in Missouri than St Louis. How about all the cities around Kansas City. Parkville, Lee's Summit, Liberty, etc.
Also cities in southwest mo. They only listed one of them. I feel insulted down here in southwest part of missouri.
Right!! Lol
Lol the ozarks are the meth capital in the us. Stop lying 😂😂😂
Also, they're really bad with their building codes. A lot of houses are set up to dump their septic waste into the lakes. Also Google Lake of the Ozarks electrocution deaths 🤐
Too many fat guys with huge beards and meth labs everywhere...

LMAO.
This is a complete lie. More people are moving out of this city,
Why?
Best place to live in Missouri is anywhere that’s not in Missouri.
Blake Q oh I am, I’m not here by choice, glad you like it here, I think it’s all shit, I’ll be out this stupid shit soon.
i literally live in Ozark, the #1 city and they made it sound like heaven 😂

There's a town Missouri called Forsyth it's clam and pretty
Sparta destroyed their baseball team for a fact
Forsyth is a great city. I love it there
Absolutely ridiculous - I live there now. Try paying property tax on your cars, etc forever. You don't do that in FL, TX, WY and many other places. Very tired of the Hood mentality too. No a good place.
On average, how much is property taxes in Missouri?
@@IAmHisBeloved5 I forget the percentage but on a 2014 Ford Escape we paid $500 last year. It goes down each year a bit but its 8.25% on the new car then your paying each year.
Far far Away thank you for responding. Wow! $500 is a lot. And y’all have to pay state taxes as well, right? I’m wondering if the cost of living is even cheaper than somewhere like TX being that you have to pay property taxes on cars and state taxes every year. What else do y’all have to pay property taxes on?
@@IAmHisBeloved5 It varies just like Texas
I live in Missouri, and this video seemed very odd to me.
Tons of St. Louis suburbs. Lol.
I love my city would rather live in Joplin over St. Louis any day.
Can someone comment in Springfield and Branson. We are considering relocating and heard those were the best for retirees.
I would recommend doing more research. Branson is very touristy and Springfield is questionable in crime.
Check out Sunrise Beach or Osage
Springfield is higher in taxes and regulations than what's ideal.
Thank you for this video I live in New Zealand and am wanting to move to Missouri later on in the future this video helps alot😄
Melanie, coming from an actual resident of Missouri. Stay clear of most places on this list. Especially Kirkwood. Around where I grew up. It is infested with gangs and high criminal activity. South saint Louis is the worst place to live. It is ranked (whole city of st. Louis) as the deadliest city in the U.S. 13th deadliest city in the world. Missouri is fine in some areas but I do have to mention the weather. We are in tornado alley and receive harsh storms from Kansas (the sate west from us). If you want a good place to live, I can tell you some places. Listen to the comments.
@@aceneinhous7466 Will do, but I kind of knew that scene my bf is from Missouri
Stay out of st louis county... Keep a 2 county buffer between you and st louis/st Charles/Jefferson counties.
Why leave NZ? Lawd, that is a sad change. Cannot beat it.
I lived in wentzville and I highly recommened that area. Its growing fast but its nice and close to a lot of fun things. But my parents live at lake of the ozarks and the summers are so fun.
Lee’s Summit? Liberty? Where’s the KC area?
I was born in Columbia Missouri raised in Higginsville Missouri small town but I currently live in Warrensburg Missouri. I don't like some of the places in Missouri but I am proud to live in Missouri. Go Missouri tigers!
It depends on what you want. Got kids? Good schools are important. You make lots of money? High home values are important. I just retired in another state and bought land in SE MO, near a little town called Fredericktown. Rocks, St. Francois Mountains, clean rivers, National forests, canoeing, hunting, fishing, hiking, peace and quiet... I am building a house that will be three times the size I could afford here because it’s so much cheaper there. The scenery is fantastic. I prefer small towns. I’m tired to death of crowds. But, that’s me.
Now there is the best of Missouri. When I am going on a motorcycle ride I head there or NW Arkansas.
Good job. I feel proud to be in Missouri it pays to research your own City sometimes
Columbia is the best over all my ass I used to buy my weed from out there and new people who got coke from there 😂🤣
Why did they not mention anything about Sedalia LOL, I love living here in central Missouri... We got the State Fair, and lots of history in the downtown too💁♂️
scott joplin
@Chel Marie well it's not a big city like st louis, KC, Jeff City, or Springfield. But we are getting there.
@Chel Marie oh! From what I know, and especially from talking to the black folks - we have some of the nicest black communities and we have more white people problems here than with the black by statistics 😂
@Chel Marie the only racism problems you could have are in the bigger cities like KC and St louis,, because that's where the democratic leaders rule. We love our black people here in the smaller towns like Sedalia
My city made the number one on ur list. Columbia. ♡ I am a transplant from a small town in Iowa . I really do like Columbia👍😁
I live in Missouri and there’s a reason it’s pronounced “misery”. Don’t move here.
Most who come here to live want to leave

Kansas City suburbs or Columbia MO are the best.
facts
Missing Lee's Summit, Blue Springs, Liberty, Raymore, basically everything on the western side of the state.
As a native Kirkwoodian (and St. Louisan) currently living in San Diego, I am happy and proud to discover that most of these cities were in the consolidated St. Louis metropolitan area.
I hope someday i can travel in USA, one of my dream is america.
These are mostly all St.Louis area..how about St.Joseph north of KC?
I want to visit there someday.
I already had to block some people for talking garbage about this state. In some people's little worlds it is all a dump. But in the real world it's not. St. Louis County has many suburbs. Welston, MO is trouble. High crime. And it is time we clean up the city of St. Louis and it is time for us to clean up Welston. I am going to try to attend a next Transit Oriented Development meeting.
Wow seriously misleading! I’ve lived in this state all my life and can not understand where the hell these people got this information. Why did they fail to mention any other region but around St Louis? Epic fail.
Ballwin is great for retirees! Im 30 years old atm my grandparents retired in 1989 before i was born
Come live in elsberry Missouri its super small but it's great. Its in the northeast part about a hour away from st.louis. one of the best schools besides the slight drug use.
I live near there! (O'Fallon)

Bro I live in the southeast part of the state it sucks down here but the crime rate isn’t near as bad as St Louis, and the price of living is pretty cheap
Which towns are better by your opinion in southeast part ? Thank you.
i live in stl and its crazy af here 😂😂💀

How is it in Springfield I'm thinking about moving there this summer and are there any African Americans that stay there
No. Southwest Missouri has a scary history with race. You should move to Columbia.
“This state has a natural beauty”
Me: (lived in Missouri their whole life)
Also me: *ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhah*

Yeah it really doesn’t.
Having lived and travelled all over the US... I gotta disagree. Missouri has a unique beauty.
Wildwood and Kirkwood are great places but of course my city isnt on the list lol

Everybody shush, this video is for all those people from California migrating to Missouri. Don't tell em about the good spots!
I live in in Missouri and none of this information sounds right

Meh and a half on a good day
I love it here. Of course I spent a majority of my life in Kansas. Go figure.
how can someone say ozark schools are the safest when half the high school football team does steroids
What about Lee’s Summit best schools in missouri
Elijah Rowland Nixa has the best schools in MO 🤨

I live 25 miles south of St. Louis, both grew up in South St. Louis, Bevo area, when it used to be great, to close for me, sick and tired of seeing all the crime on the news anymore, now a police officer is arrested and charged with a felony for shooting a robbery victim who resisted arrest and wanted to fight the officer on the parking lot, so the officer shot her, and now the officer is the criminal, we thought only that shit happened in California, we are moving in 3 weeks, way north, almost to Iowa, and getting away from all the bullshit, we don't leave our 9 mm's out of site anymore.
FYI- there is no Sprouts in Kirkwood, it is Fresh Thyme but that is not the farmers market they are referring to. It is an outdoor venue and not a chain store. Would be nice if they did their research.
I live in Missouri there is this small town called Fulton that I once lived in for a bit and it is the best city probably in the entire midwest. Such a great place.
Near Columbia. I almost bought in Fulton, but ended up buying house in Columbia. Original choice. Might move there.
I am going to Missouri in three weeks!
Missouri don't come here don't!!! Don't you'll end up arrested and on probation nooo!!!
I live in New York which would be the best place for me?
Columbia are you actually kidding me literally every night and morning when I check the new a shooting in Columbia literally happens EVERY day 😂😂😂
Ya I know right I was born there
I lived in the North side of town. Stuff happens down there
Part of the word Crime is Cri as in Cry. Too much crime.
It is the same way n Kansas City every morning there are always news about who was shot last night!
You will BASICALLY not get shot in Columbia if you are not involved with gangs, drugs, prostitution, or you don't get caught sleeping with someone else's someone. If you rounded up everyone who got shot in Columbia last year and they didn't know their shooter....all of them could sit together in a booth at Dairy Queen.
When I was a kid there was a drive by shooting at the Columbia Chuck E. Cheese and for years I was under the impression that Columbia was just a hotbed of crime and violence, then when I was there as an adult it was very tame lol.
What about Springfield?
That belongs on the 10 worst places to live list
@@mikecrocop1 facts
I went to college there for a year in the 80s and people then thought it was great. But now I hear that there is a lot of crime and drug use, and the city hasn't developed much over the decades.
I travel to and through Missouri quite regularly. I found that this video clip promoted the St. Louis area mostly.
That's because there so many great places to live in Missouri that it's hard to narrow it down to only 10. Most of the small towns would only be attractive to certain people though. My parents lived in the middle of the Ozarks and they loved it-----but a lot of people would not enjoy that lifestyle.
Me: If my town isn't listed I'm gonna fight somebody.

I love Missouri I was born and raised here and if you are planing to move here that’s great. Just one thing you have to be prepared for is the weather it is crazy.
Lord of Fire
That, and stay far away from any place vaguely near St. Louis.
Anybody else turn up the playback speed so you wouldn't fall asleep
Springfield is just fine. I've made it 46 years here just fine. St Louis does suck and I wouldn't move there for free rent.
