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.

      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.

      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.

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

      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.

      Far far Away thank you for responding. Wow! $500 is a lot. And y’all have to pay state taxes as well, right?

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.
