Impossible to get lost in KC.  You're a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) if you do.

Missouri is trash.  Johnson County "gets it".  Wyandotte is doing all they can to up their standards.

Athletic teams suck.  BBQ is great.  Arrowhead should be moved near the Speedway.  Kauffman should be moved downtown.

Airport is crap, in a crappy location.....but easy to get-in/get-out.

Missouri is trash.

P&L is a bit overrated, Westport is cool, Plaza is nice during the holidays, Waldo sucks, Legends is meh, Park Place is ok.

Missouri is trash.

Johnson County "gets" what?  Taupe houses, minivans, soccer moms who drive 10 miles below the speed limit with their cell phones attached to their faces, golden labs, two kids, trees the size of twigs?

Johnson County is the bleached version of everything that has ever existed.

Johnson County understands what it takes to increase business growth, city maintenance, urban expansion, etc..

Plenty of places in Johnson County with trees larger than twigs, houses with character, suburbans instead of minivans, etc.  The education system in Johnson County is arguably one of the best in the nation.  You sound like a sour melon.

It takes a lot of money to do all of these things. Other communities "get it" too, but they just don't "have it." You sound like a dumbass.

ya i guess it's just a coincidence that they put a med school there  

OU med is near a rough part of OKC, too.

It's not necessarily a county "getting it", it's just urban sprawl.  Nothing more.

Explain further please.  It's not a coincidence that all growth is happening in Johnson County.  Sure there is more money, but 10 years ago Overland Park didn't even exist south of 135th street.

I completely agree it is urban sprawl.  Explain then why the majority of urban sprawl is happening in Johnson County?  You're having businesses move from downtown to Johnson County, and you're having businesses near the airport fail.  Funkhauser (sp) has received major criticism for allowing KC,MO to lose jobs to JOCO.  Case 1:  Architecture firm moving from Plaza to JoCo.  The tax breaks alone allow the employees in the firm to receive a 1% raise.  KC, MO taxes are killer.

Moving to KC in a month. Thx for all the tips here guys.

There are LOADS of secret societies in Kansas City.  LOADS.  I am a member of three, myself.  Clams is pretty much the expert on them.   His uncle wrote a book about them, and it's in the Library of Congress.

I'm just saying it's not really unique to JoCo, it happens everywhere.  

[michigancat]

There's  lot of growth in urban sprawl in every direction of the metro.

Johnson County doesn't have the same problems most other counties do simply because poor people can't afford to live there.

sour melon?  i can live anywhere in this city that i want to and have no desire to spend any more time in joco than i have to.  the collective mindset found in overland park is a rough ridin' joke.

are you that stupid?  saul is correct.  it's cheaper to bulldoze a farm and put up a much needed stripmall on every corner of johnson county than it is to demo and rebuild in older parts of the city.  so guess what?  that's whats happening.  joco is one big ugly parking lot.  glad you enjoy it, it keeps you out of my neighborhood.

[CNS]

JoCo is horribly planned and very cheaply built.  Seriously.  Go look at a neighborhood that is 20 yrs old.  Houses are crap. 

Johnson County was a money grab by developers, land owners(formerly dirt poor farmers), and residential builders and those who love it are the suckers in the deal.

My whole point of Johnson County "getting it" was business development.  Thats what drives a city and gives it growth.  Why you turned it into housing/soccer mom/minivans I have no idea.  

[WildcatNkilt]

I agree that they are plenty of cheaply built houses in JOCO.  Nobody can deny that.  However there are some really nice houses as well (Mission Hills and Cedar Creek for example).

Mission Hills was Mission Hills before urban sprawl.  Does not count.

Yup, Johnson County gets it.  The business development policies in the most populous county in the state that happens to have a half billion dollar budget deficit are reelin them in.  Better hope that Gingrich gets Congress to adopt that law allowing states to seek bankruptcy protection.

Johnson County was a money grab by developers, land owners(formerly dirt poor farmers), and residential builders and those who love it are the suckers in the deal.

This is true.  It's like the stucco is just melting off of some of these homes.

I lived in Mission (liked), Lee's Summit (liked, but less than Mission), and I own a home in North Kansas City in the northeastern part of the metro (meh).  My wife and I have ultimately decided that we're going to focus our next search out in Johnson County in the Lenexa/Shawnee area and end up calling that our home after trying out some other areas.

In all fairness, the Northland isn't horrible, especially where we live, but there are much better parts of the city to live in.
