Yeah I live in independence and my property taxes went up 1k. It’s pretty insane how corrupt it is. I just saw also frank white is trying to get rid of the lawsuit against Jackson county
He’s trying to get them to drop the current lawsuit that waives the property tax increase for last year because of how much funding the school districts would lose.
I moved here just over a year ago. For me, the highway system sucks and everybody is in a rush and drives fairly reckless. Aside from that, I really like KC. We got some nice golf courses
@@TF-Times I typically drive hwy 71. It has stoplights and people always cut me off. However, I will say I've never lived this close to a big city or had to go downtown on a daily basis until i got a job here. A coworker of mine is from the Seattle area and she told me it was much worse out there. So I guess It's all relative to our personal experiences. However, I am originally frontage Saint Louis area
I moved to Manhattan Ks last year. I love going to KC and it’s by far my favorite big city in the US. It checks so many boxes from entertainment, sports, history, great nightlife and yes, world’s greatest bbq. Every big city has its problems but you really can feel civic pride when you go there.
Taxes are so corrupt here that the state tax commission is suing Jackson County. The politicians taxes on their own houses don’t go up much but their surrounding neighbors went up exponentially. I live outside of KC but still in Jackson county and my property taxes have doubled in the four years I’ve owned my house. My property value went up almost 100k in that time, but I know if I sold tomorrow I wouldn’t get that kind of money for it.
I’m honestly just curious because how can this place produce two of the best guys ever, Jason Sudeikis and Paul Rudd? Is there something in the water? In the barbecue?
It’s not that it’s split by two states. It’s that there’s a Kansas City Kansas and a Kansas City Missouri. Much of what I discuss applies to both, but when I talk about city services it’s mainly KCMO that I’m referencing. I did a video a few weeks back about the differences of both sides of the state line if you’re interested.
@@movingtokcit's not that it's split by two states and then you say it's there is a KC Kansas and KC Missouri lololol....how did you disagree and agree at the same time....nice work 😁✌️
Don't forget being taxed every year for owning a car or any personal property. I dont own anything fancy and still pay $1200 a year for my 2 cars in personal property tax
@@soberstruggles3358 Yes, in Missouri you pay tax on all of personal property every year based on the value of the property. So if you have Cars, Motorcycles, RV's Boats, etc then you pay a percentage of its accessed value to the county in December. It fluctuates every year but Ive had it be as low as $1000 and as high as $1,800. Last year was 1,150 and my property was valued around $30k-$40k
Where the F were those trash bins when i lived there?! Two bags? Yeh n had to put out morning of or else racoons would tear your bags apart leaving a massive mess. Trash tags i had to buy from grocery store to allow my household to put out additional bags. That part SUCKED! Otherwise KC was fine. Traffic was great for a metro area. In STL now and its awful. Would never talk any of my friends out of moving to KC. Great place!
We really, REALLY need rail-based mass transit here. We need our own version of DART, BART, METRA, etc. The street car is nice, but everyone has those AND they are subject to traffic issues.
I moved to Davies County from the US Virgin Islands after my wife passed. Ignore technology and one would think they were transported to the 70s. Cost of living is very affordable, kids ride bicycles, no wokeness, excellent schools etc. People find peace here.
KCMO. Although you won’t find much for that price in Midtown/Brookside/Waldo. There are a lot of homes priced sub $100k on the East side that skew the numbers.
Small town USA is still where it's at. Anything in the city or surrounding suburbs is going to be more expensive. Even the ghetto in the city is more expensive than small/rural towns. Edit: In my rural town you can get a place for 100k. A nice place for double that.. and there's a few factories in town that are just about always hiring.

I always wanted to move to a city where the biggest news is that they now have trash bins. Welcome to finally entering the 20th Century. KC, not interested.

its expensive everywhere, doesnt matter where you go

What highway system did you come from? Traffic here is so much better compared to almost everywhere else!

@@TheBuffaloFlats Ok fair. 71 sucks balls.
Better than houston tx@@TF-Times
Sorry people just need to get out the left lane when it’s safe
Do you assist with finding apartments?
We do not, but I have a list of apartments on my website www.movingtokc.net/resourceguide

Shootings every night, full of crime, lack of high paying jobs that have all left to the denser Kansas suburbs

The tax is for the great services we have... And then there's those pot holes. Nope... Not convincing me.
I’m honestly just curious because how can this place produce two of the best guys ever, Jason Sudeikis and Paul Rudd? Is there something in the water? In the barbecue?
Nice trash cans AND women's soccer both!?!?!
What is this world?!
That's a 1% "EARNINGS" tax...If you live OR work in KCMO you pay 1% on your earnings. If you live AND work outside KCMO it doesn't apply.
So whats the total tax if you work and live in kcmo or kcks? Im from houston tx area. And stationed at fort riley. We are thinking of moving to kcmo.
Yeah, and the City just ignores tax refund requests for teleworking time even if your accountant sends the request
Looks like the city is spit between two states. Which are you talking about?
It’s not that it’s split by two states. It’s that there’s a Kansas City Kansas and a Kansas City Missouri.

They’re 2 completely different cities 🙃
Most boring city ever , house appraised tax valuations increased over 100% IN ONE YEAR !
Don't forget being taxed every year for owning a car or any personal property. I dont own anything fancy and still pay $1200 a year for my 2 cars in personal property tax
They charge every year???

Baby steps 👍🏼
@@movingtokc Well I suppose
Only lazy college kids and homeless use the mass transit

Glad you found peace. Welcome!
Nothing is crazy.
On the contrary; everything is crazy 🤪
Evidently you haven't done much driving here there are so many roads that are major bad shape that they haven't touched it's far worse than you
But still tax you for. 1%
Median home price $285k? Where???
KCMO. Although you won’t find much for that price in Midtown/Brookside/Waldo. There are a lot of homes priced sub $100k on the East side that skew the numbers.

The Ghetto. The median homeprice in Kearney is $425k
The median means middle. So half of the homes for sale there are under $425k
yeah i got a million dollars. im going to move to KC. hahahaha
That million will get you a lot further in KC than most places 🤔

Kansas city is a loser city.

What's funny is back in the good old days they used to call Detroit the "Paris of the Midwest".
Going by the gages in your ears. Bye.
