One of THE most boring, overrated places you could possibly imagine.

I guess there IS a reason the locals refer to it as "containment area for relocated yankees."
It is all that you say it is, but it's really a lot like Cumming, GA where my friend lived before he moved to Cary. He considered his move a step up, but I see it as a lateral move.

You couldn't pay me to live in either one.

No bugs in the winter but winter still "bugs" many people. Lack opf sunlight for one! Then when it's warm in the midwest it's often humid.

That's because you live in Overland Park. Probably one of the most boring places in the entire country...

There is a ton to do and see in KC and this thread proves how little people know about the area, including locals that never leave Johnson County.

There are so many cities out there with much less to do than KC, many of them are much larger than KC.

I'm not saying KC is great, but to group the city with OKC, Buffalo, Jacksonville etc is absurd. Those are boring towns. I still like them as cities, but they have nothing on KC. People will choose KC simply because it's in the middle of the country and they associate the city with Kansas (where people imagine cows, farms, nothing and more nothing).

I now live near Baltimore and I can tell you KC offers a lot more than Baltimore. Inner Harbor or not.

1. Detroit
2. New York
3. L.A.
4.Chicago
5. Houston

#1 is obvious. #s 2-5 are just too congested or expensive and I would visit but not live in. Other cities like Cleveland or St Louis would make the list if it was a top 10.

There are actually areas of the city that aren't that crowded at all. A lot of people just think of Manhattan when they think of NYC, not this:

Because when anyone, even a New Yorker, talks about new York City, they mean Manhattan.
