      I was born and raised here in KCMO. I live in my childhood home that they just raised the assessment on by 52%, more than $95,000. I am tired of having to fight the county every couple of years because they are trying to get more money out of homeowners to pay for projects in the county that are of no benefit to us. Fighting their system is not an easy task either. I'm ready to leave my house behind and go somewhere else, which I think is really sad.

    • @movingtokc

      I just sold my house in part because my property taxes had doubled in less than 3 years. It’s unfortunate and I hope the state works swiftly to approve a cap on how much they can raise property taxes year over year.

    I grew up in Gladstone, in the 80's and 90's, and loved it! In the mid 90's I used to bus around to all the casinos by myself late at night and always felt safe. I used to spend my weekends at the City Market, then walk over to my friend's house on Independence Avenue in the middle of the night and never had a problem. Im not sure what it's like there now, as I've been gone for almost twenty years, but I miss it.

    I grew up in Kansas City but moved to Denver 1992-2007. When I first moved to Denver, it was very common to see bumper stickers everywhere that said “Please don’t Californicate Colorado”. There was a steady stream of Communist/Marxists that infiltrated Colorado which made it very unpleasant. The best decision I ever made was to flee back to Kansas.

Crime is something that needs to be addressed for sure, and I am hopeful that we will make progress as a community. That said, I have lived in Kansas City for 2 years. I know my neighbors. I have never felt unsafe in my neighborhood. The only time I have experienced a crime since moving here was when we were in a "safe" suburb and my car was broken into.

    What is the average home cost in KC vs Denver? Half? Hard to get too upset about taxes when you can buy a house for a reasonable amount, and your home is appreciating in value. Somebody has to pay to educate your kids and plow the roads, right?

    • @movingtokc
      @movingtokc  Рік тому +1

      Depends on what part of the metro you’re in, but yes, you can get more house for your money in KC. The big issue with the taxes is the assessments. Some went up 100-200%. Appreciation doesn’t mean much to someone on a fixed income whose property taxes went up an astronomical amount. I’m not saying that the taxes are bad, but people who are moving her from other states should know what’s going on 🤷🏼‍♂️

Colorado for one because it's in the mountains. The most snow I've had in the last several years wasn't over two inches and after several days it melted away. So if you want less snow then move to Florida or Hawaii where they have hurricanes and Hawaii has volcanoes. No thanks, I'll stick with two inches of snow. And by the way lots of cities are bigger than KCMO and have more problems. God bless.

All are better than Missouri or Kansas by far, with Indiana being the most mediocre. However, it is very conveniently located near plenty of larger metro areas.

    People from other areas say the rent is great here. By the way, for those who live in the rural counties surrounding KC, you can save hundreds on property tax on one newer model car. Jackson is bad. Clay is better than Platte, and Cass is great, as are counties further out. Also, before you move, make sure to ask your insurance company what your new rate will be at the addresses you are considering because there might be a big difference in cost between areas.
    Or, if you don't care about taxes, move to Kansas where the democratic governor vetoes bills about cutting taxes. Also, if you don't mind trans kids competing with your daughters in sports.

      ​@movingtokc 6 decades spent there. Yep weather is great but SoCal was flooded with midwest and east coast folks starting in early 80s. Dynamics changed. I miss surfing but not the millions of people who would visit the beaches. Property taxes in KC are nuts along with the current crime. It is bleeding in to our area. Sooo we are looking to move on.
