we moved to KC in 2009 (from Nashville)... in 2015 our family had moved away due to jobs relocation, so we moved back to Nashville... 6 months later, we came back because we missed KC too much and realized - this is home! We love it here and plan to spend the rest of our lives in this wonderful city!
Wonderful! I'm so glad you're back! How do the two cities compare?
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong Nashville has grown exponentially since we’ve been gone, and it’s basically a different city than it was in the 2000’s. One of the biggest turn-offs we found was the horrendous traffic! It’s rush hour all day long every day in Nashville. The infrastructure wasn’t built for the growth the city has experienced.
Got it! I asked you in another comment, but would you be willing to do an interview? Similar like the Houston vs. KC one I did a few weeks back?
I'm Latino I come from Dénver. And I'm proud to live in Lee’s Summit . It has given me a lot. .
Awesome! What brought you here?
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong I got tired of driving bumper-to-bumper. If you live in Denver, it takes you one hour to get from one place to another.
@@jimmydiaz6072 Same with us in California. Was it hard to leave? Did you get to keep your job?
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong Yes sir. Remodeling house.
If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything . It's my comment to people who speak badly of any city. Everywhere there are good apples and bad apples.
Your comment about 38* Winter run was pretty on point. My daughter and I generally walk to and from her school each day with the 30* rule. The rule being if it’s below 30* we’re more likely to drive (something we try avoiding). Even then, there was a morning this year that even at 22* we walked to play in the snow while walking. It can be surprisingly warm walking if you’re playing along the way - may even break out a sweat. ** I’ll add a note that she was only driven to school twice this winter and picked up once.
I think it makes Winter much more bearable personally. When you have the right clothes, I can see 22* being nice! What days did you have to drive?
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong I don’t remember the exact days, but it means we only had two school days this year which were under 30* in the morning with no snow on the ground. We had a lot more snow/“remote” days this year though.
LOL, nothing like the actual Midwest, KC shuts down for "dustings" of snow and is a just like the backward South in that regard. If you live in Des Moines northward, no one is phased by temperatures of 0-20F in the winter, only when it gets down well below zero- people are less likely to be outdoors for longer periods of time.
@@KS5040 I agree with that! I actually kinda like that about the metro, since I don't like going out in the snow anyways!
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong It isn't a good thing as the region does a very poor job at being prepared for winter weather, (road safety), when it occurs with far more regularity than areas further to the south.
Just a question. Which Kansas City? There are two.
Great question! This video is referring to Kansas City as the greater metro area. I would include both KCK and KCMO, as well as the surrounding areas that would consider themselves the Kansas City metro (Johnson County, Platte & Clay County, etc.) Does that make sense?
2 million? I looked it up and it said 509,000 people
Yes, 500K in Kansas City, Missouri. However, in the entire of the KC metro, there are a little more than 2 million.
But is there a H Mart? I gotta have one
No H-Mart! The closest thing is 888 International Market in OP! I miss H-Mart from when we lived in California! Where are you living now?
PHX right now. I'll have to look up 888. @@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong
We are looking to move to Overland Park from Ottawa Canada, any suggestions are welcomed.
Would you be willing to chat over the phone sometime? Would love to find out what you’re looking for in more detail.
OP is the best place to live in the KC metro due to the amenities the city offers, the low crime rate, the school districts, and overall proximity to everything. It's also more expensive (though not the most expensive in the area), but you can't go wrong with OP
@@LeoNelBuilds Agreed! OP is a wonderful place to live in the metro. I think that the only weakness there is that there is less to do than the Missouri side. Some people don't share my opinion though!
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong it depends on your lifestyle and personal preference. My idea of a good time is taking a walk at the lake, taking my kids to the mall, or going on a date downtown (which is only 30 mins from where I live).
@@LeoNelBuilds Agreed! I think the same, but I can see why people want different areas of the KC Metro!
Lol yeah there are a lot of Asians in KC as well
We have certainly been noticing more! We didn't notice that many Asians here when we first moved!
The only thing I care about is the Chiefs
That’s the same as a lot of people here!
Pros of KC: cheap COL, All 4 Seasons, Great BBQ, good sports culture, great suburbs. Easy traffic. Growing entertainment areas. Lots of church options if you’re Christian. Decent economy. Cons of KC: No ocean. No mountains. Extreme Seasons. High Violent Crime Rate. Occasional bad natural disasters like Blizzards & Tornadoes. Lack of diversity for restaurants & grocery stores. Horrible public transit. If you’re not religious out if you’re Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish, Agnostic etc…good luck finding your community. The 2 states 1 city thing can be annoying…. Personally, I get why people like it. It’s not for me, because I love mountains & water & moderate weather …but I’m willing to pay more for a higher quality of life. If you’re not into hiking mountains or water activities & you can handle hot humid summers and cold winters then give it a shot. Just visit 1st before you buy. Side note: 2008: LA,SF,& Seattle avoided the recession…not sure if KC favored well lol. And soccer city KC wasn’t picked as a World Cup city 😂.
Great list! I may be mistaken, but I believe that LA was hit pretty hard during the 2008 recession...Seattle, I'm not so sure. We WERE picked as a World Cup Host City in 2026!
I disagree. I have lived oversees and in other cities. Kansas City is one of the best kept secrets in the US. Cost of living low, people are friendly and other amenities you criticized KC not having are improving.
Thanks for commenting! I agree wholeheartedly! I think people overlook Kansas City. Do you live here now?
LOL, KC is a joke, deluded dumb homers that hate any type of change or progress. Hope you lose one of your professional sports teams to a much better city shortly!
St. Louis is a much better city than K.C. Despite the fact we have lost 2/3 of our city population. The urban fabric StL still has from our trolley era lends itself WAY more to urbanist revitalization than car-centric K.C. Cities built for humans first (not automobiles) will thrive into the future. There’s still plenty room on the East side of MO if you want an actual world class city to call home. ;]
Well, well, well! If it ain't an ol' Missouri city shootout! 😀I DID notice that about St. Louis when I visited there! I would also say that your infrastructure are parks are better too! Fair points! Anecdotally, I feel like the people here are more welcoming here in Kansas City, and there is more to do, but I may be wrong about that? What do you think?
St. Louis is in decline and has a much smaller population than KCMO does.
@@calvinvandegrift3812 I've heard that St. Louis has much higher crime rate!
I have homes in California, NYC and Kansas City. Kansas City is one of the worst places to live for a variety of reasons. The most glaring issue is lack of culture. There is very little. You're in a mostly white and vanilla city, in the bible belt where, they hate change. The arts reflect this, the food, and entertainment reflect this as well. You are also very limited in what there is to do. You have the Plaza, 95th for the mall and retail, sports, Westport, Barry road, again for movies and retail, The market area near downtown, The Nelson-Atkins museum, I mean, there isn't much. Furthermore, you are literally 1,000+ miles from any major body of water. Kansas City is also not a market that recording artist want to come. Nearly all the major artists skip the Kansas City market. Why? It's small and not as profitable. I've lived all over the US, and I travel 4 months out of the year. I promise you, Kansas City is not anywhere I would solely want to live. I'm in Kansas City for about 2 weeks every 3 months or so because of a business I own in the area. In the past, I've lived in Kansas City months at a time, and, really, disliked having to do so. If you're not a very worldly person, small-minded, are not a dreamer and have no desire to see the world, Kansas City is going to be fine for you. Most who live here in Kansas City do not know any better. They are content to live and die in this small city.
Yeah, I can see your perspective! Thanks for commenting! Coming from Los Angeles, and living overseas, I realize that I don't have the perspective of living in every city, and that you have credible reasons for not considering Kansas City as an artist. I do think that the majority of people who would agree with me are in my shoes - young family, value the pace of life and ease that Kansas City provides. I would not imagine that a burgeoning artist would like it here for the reasons that you provided. Thanks again for commenting, and if you're in Kansas City soon, I would love to treat you to a meal or a coffee. Have a good one!
People with young families value cost of living, ease of and access to transportation and safety
This is true! The the video is me making my best case for why Kansas City is a great place to live. I can see that for some people, it would not work well for them!
Its good to know that a person like you doesn't want to live here. Makes me happy knowing that I don't have to deal with you, loser.
you are obviously lying. WHY would you own a house here if you have houses in NY and Cali and hate KC too? You make no sense. Liar.
Prices are affordable in Kansas because we are mainly a republican state, if enough Democrats move here and vote Democrat we will no longer be affordable we are already almost there thanks to Governor Kelly!!
Well, Jackson County is largely Democrat but you're right! Thanks for commenting!
Home affordability has nothing to do with party
@@tomdalton4293 wake up, it sure does!!! Blue states have higher property taxes which makes the cost of homeownership go up!!! Just look at Oklahoma, pure red state with low property taxes
Their police department is one of the most corrupt in the nation. Top 10.
Really?! Where did you find this info? I’m always willing to learn more about this.
