The best way to describe Kansas City is "split personality." First you have the Kansas-Missouri split. This is odd for the fact that 2 areas so close together have such different vibes. For me this split boils down to this: The Kansas side has a more western vibe as in rodeos, cowboy boots, and agricultural wide open spaces - the Missouri side is both ozark hillbilly and urban at the same time. And yes, this in itself is a split and a very odd one at that. The other split is literally day and night. In the 40 some years I have lived here I have never felt unsafe during the daytime. But at night it's a completely different story. Lots and lots of gun crime especially on the Missouri side. Most people, even people that have lived here all their lives don't know it, but Kansas City has historically had a high crime rate. As far as I have been able to research the high crime rate goes back to the very begining. As to why, it seems no one knows, there's only speculation. KC also has a long and storied history of police corruption which is why the state controls the KCPD, not the locals. It was especially bad during the prohibition-organized crime days. Which brings us to my last observation. There is a lot of corruption in city government on the Missouri side. A LOT. From the school board to the water department and everything in between. It has been this way the entire 40 some years I have lived here.
northeast has great houses....affordable, ive been here since the late 1980's....the crime is bad but getting better....compared to los angeles, or california, its not the suburb's but huge houses for 300k are great
I am so tired of you asking people whom have lived in kc all their lives compared to your 4 blinks you call years all for you to discredit or say in your superior opininon that it is not true.

I think those are all interesting observations! How did you find out about the corruption? Do you have any avenues of research I should look into?
The negativity about KC is no comparison to living in LA. Traffic, crime, cost, etc. It’s like day and night!
Yes, people do hate on LA even more than KC!
metro north mall
Yeah, I heard that shut down.
not phazed by the parade at all
I didn't know if people around here felt the same thing.

Yup! Absolutely love Kansas City!

That's right! Northeast would be one place that I would love to live!
The best thing to do in kansas city is leave.
