Why would I "have to live within 500 miles of KC"? Do I have some kind of medical condition that insists I be around hayseeds? I don't understand.

Maybe you could stop being a rough ridin' $!#* and answer the question?  Would that kill you?

KC people are oddly snobby.

I mean... it's KC.
:shakesfist: Best thing in a 8 state territory.

Point proven.

Well, respond to his question then.

8 States is probably high, but I'd live in KC before most cities.  Denver is cost prohibitive to get out of the smog (would kill a drifter to have enough cash to buy a NICE place in Boulder or Golden).

As a professional, I require two things:  1.  Near a high traffic airport (KCI barely meets this, any smaller and it would not).  2.  Housing costs that are reasonable to allow for ownership of a single family dwelling of over 2500 square feet (e.g. SF does not fit this criteria for me).

Thanks for further proving my point.

This isn't about the quality of the city (KC is not a great city), it's about the snobby level. Which is off the charts.

KC needs more confidence (aka dick flopping) like this.  It's no world city but I'd take it over it's peers.

What's KC got to dick flop about? It's tiny airport? It's small downtown? It's irrelevant (minus soccer) sports teams?

Don't go all Ben on us...it's okay.  Your city is cool too.  :cheers:

All you did was dodge the question.

KC is a fine place. Kind of quaint but whatever. I just don't understand people who act like it's some kind of huge important city.

If I could go live anywhere in the Central time zone, I think I'd take Milwaukee.  I rough ridin' love it.

i bet you could get a huge house in St Joe and be closer to the airport than you are now.  yup, nailed it.  need a seller's agent? i know people.

So, your position is that being the best place to live in a 500 square mile area is a bad thing?

KC is a pretty nice place to live, IF YOU LIKE LIVING IN THE BEST OF THE WORST, THAT IS.

saying KC is the best city in 500 miles is kind of dumb too.

They are all pretty much the same.

KC, Des Moines, OKC, Omaha, Little Rock, St. Louis etc are all pretty rough ridin' similar.

If geographic proximity to anything is of no consequence for you, then why would you live in Chicago?  SF, SD, Boston, NYC are all superior to Chicago.  No self limitations.

I like St. Louis.
Me too.  I saw an awesome concert under the arch a few years ago and from then on, the Gateway to the West is AOK for me.

Tons of KC people hate it though.  Could be baseball related?  IDK.
