Lived in Minneapolis for two years and Fargo, ND for 30 years. I've lived in KC metro for 6 months. I've seen / been passively exposed to more crime in 6 months then I did in 34 years between living in MN/ND. Quirky weird, fun place and great culture... but damn the crime is wild and really spread out between suburbs.
@@lashlarue59 Well, I will let him answer if he wants, but this past week we just had a driveby shooting. Nobody was killed, so I would classify that as "somewhere in the middle" on your scale?
Don’t go to Whataburger! When we visited this past December we made it a point to see what the hype was about. And now, we’re still wondering! You guys ok with the storm that just passed by?
I agree with Whataburger! My theory is that those who grew up with In-N-Out/Whataburger/Braum's, etc. grow really attached to that burger. That's the only reason that we could see for people liking Whataburger. Yes! Thanks for asking! We did get water in our basement, but we just finished clearing that out and its dry again!
Traffic and people driving without tags/expired tags and temp. tags are awful. The highways are designed so every trip is a challenge. Insurance and taxes are pretty high in KCMO also.
Water in the basement will happen often. We slept downstairs of our grandparents house and woke up with water in the basement. What kind of insurance do you need for tornadoes?
I will call my insurance agent today, but I believe that standard homeowners insurance covers tornadoes. The thing that isn't covered by a standard policy is usually flood.
Some do, definitely more than what closed down when we lived in California. There are plenty of main stores that do stay open. We just went shopping at Aldi today, so they didn't close!
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong I used to date a girl in Irving, Tx (long distance, don’t ask). And on Sundays everyone, except the big stores, closed on Sundays. Which I liked because it encouraged people to go to church,
@@Kana7782 I think I would like that too, less things to do means more time to Sabbath. I would say that many local businesses will close down on Sundays, especially those mom & pop shops. How long ago did you live in Irving?
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong I didn’t live in Irving. She lived in Irving. I live in the Los Angeles area. My cousin set us up. Which is why I mentioned it was a long distance relationship.
Sometimes! Depends on where you are. In our experience, they are bad towards the outer part of the KC metro. I heard of a guy who had his property destroyed by a tornado this year. He lives up in Smithville. However, our home is right in the middle of the metro, and we don't really get really bad tornadoes. That could all change in one day though!
Kc metro is listed as some of the worst drivers 😂... This is facts! Passive aggressive, angry drivers. I moved here from Wisconsin to Overland Park. What I have to say is People here are passive aggressive and Climbers. if you have a high end career, people will love you. If not, people don't wanna waste their time. Mountain Biking is really good in KC, Food is great, BBQ is crazy expensive,
If you hate KC so much just leave as some one who lives in LA (century city) but grew up in KC you seem like you hate them. Also not everyone if you actually knew the community isn’t religious, your facts are wrong and it’s actually disrespectful. I don’t see why you even left LA? If it’s so great in Thai town? I don’t call Santa Clarita LA so why even bring up north of the river? Maybe you should look up while there was segregation you can blame Truman for that! Ugh I love when people talk about things they didn’t grow up there !!! Also there is no real Korean or Japanese community which says a lot the only reason there is the best Vietnamese is because they were forced there for camps and that’s terrible!!! Why do you hate lake jacomo? Too? That’s wild! Go get some real history!!!!
Boy, a lot to respond to here. First of all, thanks for commenting! -Don't hate KC. Would never leave if we didn't have to. We love it here. -Not sure what you're saying about the "religious" aspect of my video. If you clarify, I would be happy to respond. -We left LA so I could go to school here + way better cost of living. -I bring up north of the river because there here is part of KCMO north of the river... -I don't hate Lake Jacomo. I just looked up that map. Anyways, thanks for commenting. Would love to respond if you think I'm wrong about something. Have a good one!
I am listening to speak about how you love KC.that is great.I welcome you and your family to the Midwest.Your enthusiasm is great.But I am curious you mentioned that you are a Christian and you home school your children and you lean to the right of your political beliefs.Okay I'm curious to know sense you are a Christian and you lean to the right will you be supporting the Republican candidate this year for President? I am only asking because you said you are Christian .😊😊😊😊😊😊
I received your reply.Well I was just curious I guess for some of us it is great to be safe.But you know I wish there were never any consequences.Well once again I welcome you to the Midwest.

Sorry to hear that! Where in KC are you living?
What kind of crime are we talking about; purse snatching, chainsaw killing or something in the middle?

@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong Wow, man I'm sorry to hear that. That is terrible but it is somewhere in the middle.

Yes, I see it all the time. I can’t believe they don’t enforce it!

Water in the basement is usually a foundation issue.
@@shelondasaxton5786 True. When foundations crack, or if there is too much water it can come through the walls.
I would never move back to Kansas City as I don't have enough money to live anywhere but the ghetto 😢
Sorry to hear that! When did you leave? Where do you live now?
Speaking of going to church. Do businesses close down on Sundays? Usually to encourage people to go to church

In Kansas City are the tornados bad as they say they are

Nice to meet you Mr jaylen thank you for your information and I love your video content do they have a big culinary scene up there because I'm a chef
I appreciate you mr jaylen I'm extremely interested I'm just trying to do all the research I can
@@matthewburton2153 Nice to meet you as well! What kind of chef are you? We do have fine dining establishments. Are you that type of chef?
@@matthewburton2153 Awesome! Where are you coming from?
Gotta get yourself a Fatburger shirt to go along with your In-N-Out shirt 👍
Oh yeah! You like Fatburger over In-N-Out?
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong Absolutely! The availability of turkey burgers plus THE best lemonade push it over the top!
I don’t think I’ve ever wanted a turkey burger, brother! 😂Is that a turkey patty?

When you say, "climbers," you mean climbing the corporate ladder?
