Kansas City - Wyandotte Co. - 1/23/2016
Avoid living in Kansas City, KS (Wyandotte Co.) by all means! We made the mistake of moving to this dump. High crime, high unemployment, murders daily, dilapidated neighborhoods, and highest tax area when you can drive a couple more minutes and live in one of the wealthiest counties in the nation (Johnson Co.).
The judicial system is broken here with its revolving door policy for criminals. You can just spend 6 hours in jail for serious crimes and then thrown back out on the street with a court dates months away. Oh here is the best, they let them out of jail and guess what's right across the street? A casino!!! Shame on you Kansas City, Kansas! I cringe at the sight of a jury summons since its in the same area and a disgrace of a sight all around downtown you see when there.
Since I'm on a role I'll tell you about the schools. It's pretty easy as most were unaccredited in the last couple years. You get my drift.
And if you decide to live

KS or MO? - 4/24/2012
lived in both kansas city, ks (wyandotte county) and in kansas city, mo - and we preferred kcmo - there was a little more to do - besides, in kansas it's a b*t*h to get your hard earned refund if you're owed something back. The state was so broke they couldn't give people their State refund checks. sad. Either way, get ready for blistering unbearable humidity and heat, the kind that makes you go mad, hour long waits on crappy buses when all you wanted to do was go to the store, what should just be a 15-20 minute trip, can take you up to an hour or more. Ridiculous cold, harsh winters though you can be in low 20's one minute and the next it will be 80 something
