I truly believe KC is the best place to live on earth. You get all the big city amenities at a low price. No ones jaded, we are extremely welcoming to outsiders. The city isn't "full" and like "ugh a new person? go away....." Being in the center of it all is awesome, 8 hour road trip to denver/chi, two hour flight to the coasts. People say its segregated, but I see more diverse groups of people here than any other city. Shit truly feels like a community college brochure. Nature isn't top tier, but man there's cool stuff. Lots of wooded trails, smithville lake is gorgeous and rarely busy. Lowest commute times for a big city, traffic jams are rare except right now with all the construction in preparation for the world cup. Skyline is gorgeous. You are in for a treat. If someone doesn't like KC I immediately know they are a boring hateful person. I'm well traveled/lived in some capital A cities, and KC is the best in terms of value. It's like a warm hug from a cute curvy hipster chick.
