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

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 Boring Suburb 1 (liked), Boring Suburb 2 (liked, but less than Boring Suburb 1 ), and I own a home in Boring Suburb 3 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 Boring Suburb 4/Boring Suburb 5 area and end up calling that our home after trying out some other areas.

Was born and raised in Brookside. Moved to JC in the 90's. I'm probably the most well rounded Kansas Citian you will ever meet. Certainly on this board.

The people north of the river are KC's Jersey Shore.

Every male over 19 north of the river has at one time, or is at this moment, driving a tow truck.

Every female over the age of 16 north of the river has dyed their hair at least 3 different colors. Typically all at once.

Every female north of the river is easy pickings for any guy from Johnson County. It's like fishing with dynamite. 

Every male north of the river always wants to beat the crap out of any dude from Johnson County... and they probably (always) can.

Ward Parkway is the best Boulevard in America.  And Boulevard is the best brewery in a six state region.  I love Waldo now--whoever says it sucks is way off base.  It's become the hot spot for 20-30somethings.  P&L can be pretty good if you're drunk enough and there's some event going on.

KC is probably the most segregated city in America.  The violent crime has been really bad for decades, but you don't realize it until you move away. 

As for Johnson County--the parts within 3-5 miles of KCMO are still pretty decent.  Everything else has turned into horrible sprawl.  Most cities have sprawl problems, but Jo Co has taken soulless new strip malls to a new level.  But it's also the only place you can get Taco Via.

Hating JoCo. Very K-stateish. I bet this would be a really popular thread over on GPC.  :flush:

It is Kstateo when you prefer Hays or El Dorado or Quinter to Johnson County, not when you prefer KC proper or other urban environments.

As a former squawk and as someone who had the chance to observe squawks in their natural habitat, I can authoritatively say that WildcatNKilt sounds like a squawk.

Yup, 42 just took the words right out of my clam shell.  Kilt is either a) that white redneck that played Defensive End for Ron Prince whose name I can't remember but I saw wearing a kilt on some picture one time, or b)  a squawk. 

my money's on him being a squawk.


also, the northland is quickly becoming missouri's johnson county

also, no one even mentioned anything about my fantastic kc factoids. :jerk:

If you were going to rank the following, as far as "Best Area to Live," how would you do it?
Plaza
Waldo
Brookside
Downtown
Kansas side: Not OP or Olathe
Other area I don't even know about

Northland not an option.  TIA (apologies for LKCIQ)

It all depends on what you like or want to do.  If you're a boring loser, go to Lenexa.  If you're a hipster, go to midtown.  And so on and so forth.
