Am I just being cynical? It seems to me that the majority of people in my county are lowlifes who would stab their own mother in the back to make a quick buck.

It has always been a low rent district. Back in the 70s-80s there was a lot of gang activity.

You can list the probability of a car driving recklessly in the KC area by the state/county of the license plate from most to least:

MO temporary tags- these are often used by criminals on stolen cars for illegal activity
KS Wyandotte county- See above
KS Johnson County- Especially if it is a housewife driving a white SUV
MO General Plates
KS Temporary Tags
KS Leavenworth County
KS Douglas County
KS Miami County

Along these same lines, I always found the craziest drivers in snow were 4x4 pickups with Missouri plates and JOCO luxury cars.

Back when I grew up there it was called the Syphilis capital of the US. Its still holding its own in that regard. Its equally divided among black ,white and Hispanic and its populated with the sick, poor and the young.

I especially remember Argentine.
I worked for Carpet Corner in KC KS for a couple years. It was not too bad around there.

Speaking of Carpet Corner, the woman who does their TV commercials (Roxanne?) is the most age-less female I’ve ever seen. She looks the same as she did in the 1980s.

Putting in all the section 8 housing is just a recipe for disaster. Poor people who came to the city when I grew up built their own shacks or bought houses.
