Thank you sooooo much. Glad you enjoyed it. :)

Oh wow. That makes me sad, as I'm a KU alumni. EEEEK. Are you from Lawrence? In all honesty, I have noticed that people don't really care what type of impression they leave when driving. Never noticed a correlation, though, to a school. Wish it were not so.

Hi there. Sorry for the confusion. My point was that the DNA here does not include a huge amount of bent towards people who travel all the time. Like, the DNA of NYC is (in my opinion) explorers and travelers with their home base as NYC but traveling to other places seems the norm. Here in KC, people like vacations, but they enjoying staying put here. In fact, many residents haven't explored even our most iconic places in town, like the WWI museum, or the Truman library. We are getting better, though, especially with the increase in development around town and the additions of fun activities. We have so much to do here in town and people are having more fun than even here, but it's taken time. But having a DNA as a 'traveling' city isn't part of how outsiders describe the people here.

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. Please let me know if you have any questions.

There are international students here. There aren't as many as say chicago or NYC, but we have international students both in High School as well as some of the colleges. We have a god list of universities in and around the KC area with some great options of studies. Even the University of Kansas in Lawrence. Hope that helps.

@anitacordelllivinginkansas9052 Thank you for your kind words.

You are so welcome.

That was smart. Some people need to move out when it goes on the market. Other people can manage. I'm glad that you were able to get some help. It certainly is not easy.

Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. I often include my personal experiences to provide more context and a unique perspective that might help others see the value and charm of different places in Kansas City through a resident's eyes. Often, I get asked about my experience, so in this video I wanted to share a little of my history. However, I understand that everyone has different preferences for content, and I'll keep your preference for more general information in mind for future videos. Thanks again for watching and for your comment! Have a beautiful day. :)

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I'm sorry to hear that you didn't agree with the content of the video. I strive to share helpful and positive insights about various neighborhoods, including their unique aspects and potential for residents. I'd appreciate knowing more about your concerns or if there are specific points you feel were misrepresented. Understanding different viewpoints helps me to improve the information I provide. Thanks again for your feedback, and I hope to hear more from you.

Hope you enjoy the video.

Hi Jess - This is a short that points to the actual long form video with all of the useful information. Hope that helps.

@@anitacordelllivinginkansas9052 then advertise the short that way so people don't waste their time. By the time I got all the way through without even a nugget of the advertised information being provided, you lost my trust as a viewer. You are setting yourself up as a click bait minute-fisher instead of being useful and informative. I have no desire to follow your link because this is how your run your videos. Sorry.

@@Jesspyre Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I sincerely apologize for any confusion and disappointment caused by the content of the video. It was not my intention to mislead, and I appreciate you pointing out how the presentation may have come across. As a fairly new KZbinr, I’m committed to providing valuable and accurate information, and your input is crucial for me to improve, so thank you for your grace. We take snippets from the long form and point to the long form, but obviously can do better. I will take your comments into serious consideration for future videos to ensure they are clearer and more informative from the start. Thank you again for your honesty, and I hope to regain your trust in future content.

@@anitacordelllivinginkansas9052 ok, you're about the first content creator I've come across in a decade that actually took the time to communicate (ironically enough). I apologize for the quippiness of my first comment. Most people who have your format just string people along and never actually give them something useful. Because of that, there is little motivation to go digging with the chance of wasting time without reward. You would be doing yourself a favor to be direct in your videos like you're being direct with me here in the comments. You've turned my opinion around, and I want you to be successful. The Internet is full of that which is empty. If you provide rock solid content by the quality of your information and no bs approach, you will stand out. I.E. if your short form video is titled "5 of the best places to live in KC", give that information up front succinctly. Then add something like "wanna know more about these spots? Follow the link to the full video below" That gives the initial impression as respectable, reliable, valuable and upfront; here to help. Exactly what I would want in a real estate agent (which is a business known to be fraught with untrustworthy salespeople).

THANK YOU for wanting me to succeed. I've been at my channel putting out long form video each week since December - as I've been told it takes about a year to really grow a channel. So, I've been committed to providing content, not wanting to be empty, but wanting to provide value with me and my editor working hard at that, fully knowing that I'm no expert at KZbin and learning along the way as we go. (I guess I'm a perfect example of 'progress not perfection'. LOL It's been slow, so we added the short form videos. I will keep trucking away and tweeking my approach. (Might have to go back and look at all of the prescheduled content. EEEEEK.) But, thanks again. I truly do want to use my platform in a positive way, not with a bunch of fluff. So, thank you. and, yes. I do like to actually communicate with people who engage with me.

I am so glad that you had a good experience. Yes - one thing that is for sure is that there are SOOOOO may great people here. My experience is that people, in general, have a helpful attitude. Hope you come back for another passthrough.

Click on the link at the bottom of the video and you'll be directed to the full video that hopefully will provide what you are looking for. This is a short linking to to full content. Hope that helps.

This is interesting information. I have not heard or seen anything about this. Where are the details? I'd certainly like to check into these contracts, as I'm sure a lot of people would, but I just have not heard about them. I appreciate you coming by and watching my content.

@@anitacordelllivinginkansas9052 Do you think criminals ripping of the taxpayer's money will let you see them!?, they work while people are sleeping at night; digging holes and ruining our streets ; nobody will question them when they deploy construction cones and pretend they are fixing the road, it requires a special kind of government's investigation to find out what they are exactly doing which I don't expect it to happen since corruption is dominating this state, nice to meet anyway , I hope we met in a better circumstances , take care.

Thank you for bringing up your concerns, and it’s great to meet you too. I 100% understand the importance of addressing issues that impact our neighborhoods. I'm keeping my eyes open more for sure. Being proactive can truly help bring about change. Thank you for your engagement and swinging by my channel.

Thanks so much for watching. Always appreciate viewers.

@@anitacordelllivinginkansas9052 you are doing a great Job ........ God fearing Woman

@@dubonheur01 Awe. Thank you so much.

Thank you for sharing your experiences and observations about living in various parts of Kansas City over the years. Curious what your favorite things are about Liberty. I need to spotlight your area in the future. You are correct. As a Realtor, I must adhere to certain guidelines that prevent me from discussing specific crime statistics. However, knowing that safety is a major concern for residents and potential homebuyers, I continuously recommend checking reliable sources and website to find the most current and detailed information about safety in different neighborhoods/areas. I love our city, as so many people do. Being informed always helps people make great decisions about where to live. I appreciate your engagement and hope you continue to find fun and valuable info on my channel.

@@anitacordelllivinginkansas9052 I worked in downtown KC before I retired. LIberty is so much easier than Less Summit. The airport is 20 minutes away, there are all of stores you need close. The schools are good, and it has been pretty safe.

I love, too, that Liberty is closer to the airport and you miss the downtown route. (I like the less trafficked routes myself. LOL) And, YES, I hear so many great things about the famlies that go to Liberty schools.

Thank you for your insightful feedback and for highlighting important aspects of the Kansas City area that weren't covered in my video. You’re absolutely right about Johnson County's significant role in the region’s economy and its appeal due to its office space, GDP, and community features like walkability in Downtown Overland Park. My focus on the Missouri side in this particular video wasn't intended to only spotlight KCMO and disregard JOCO, but more to highlight some larger businesses and I went fast on that part of the video, making it only 1 minute in total, but I appreciate your point about the balance and the importance of including comprehensive information. I’m always aiming to provide the most accurate and useful content, and comments like yours help tremendously. I'll definitely consider a follow-up video to explore and discuss the dynamic contributions of Johnson County. Thanks again for watching and taking the time to share your perspective!

It's funny how you compare a whole county to the city of Kansas City. OP will never compare to Kansas City and ks will always need Missouri. Without Kansas City, the ks suburbs would be just like every farm town in ks.

@@Lteeno_heet that’s hilarious. Kcmo has a lower population density than Overland Park and a very high murder rate. And it’s city limits are the size of a county so it’s a pretty good comparison

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you for your insightful points on the historical and social dynamics in Johnson County and Kansas City. You're right; factors like white flight have significantly influenced demographic shifts, and discussing crime is crucial for understanding community safety. I appreciate your perspective and look forward to exploring these important topics in more depth in future videos. Thanks for contributing to a meaningful conversation.

Oh yes. I love Hen House. It's great. I should spotlight that.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you enjoy my channel. Have a wonderful day.

I love wise people like you ❤

Thanks so much. Sorry for the late response. I just came upon your reply.

Oh man. That's bummer. While it may have not worked out, here's to hoping the path you did go down was even better.

Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed the information.

Great question. Kansas City is known for its diverse and welcoming community, in my experience. Neighborhoods across the city celebrate diversity, with many local businesses and schools promoting inclusive policies and programs. However, as with any location, experiences can vary, and I recommend connecting with local LGBTQ+ organizations or community groups who can provide specific insights and share experiences about living in the metro area. This can give you a better understanding of the community dynamics and support available to see if Overland Park is a good fit for your family. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Come on. I'm here to help.

OH wow. I didn't know they allow coolers. That's awesome and very unique indeed. Thanks for letting me know about that. And, the wave pool is also great to let people know about. My kids have loved wave pools, so it's certainly a great feature to add. Thanks for that.

I hope you enjoy Blue Springs. It truly is a hidden gem in my opinion. While people know about it, I don't think people realize all the perks and great things about this city. Thanks for watching.

LOL! Not true.

I appreciate your opinion, however I have to disagree. There are many opportunities for employment. Case in point, I had a recent client move here from Las Vegas. They loved the area and decided to just take a shot and within 2 weeks, both had jobs and they were able to purchase a home off of that income. Also, there are multiple headquarters here. Hallmark, Cerner, Sprint. and soon to be a large base for Meta and Google. If those don't appeal, there are development plans in and around Lenexa, etc. I would have to disagree with your assessment. I do hope you find something if you are looking

Thanks for your reply. I agree with your assessment.@davidscarlett8305

I’ve lived here most of my life and worked in IT for over 20 years. Cost of living is lower than a lot of other states, and depending on where you work, pay can be pretty good. I’ve lived over seas when I was younger and lived and visited other states as well, so I can comment on cost of living comparisons. KC is growing and there are a lot of things to see and do. The parts that have the farmland would be western KS.

Absolutely. I'd love to help. First step is consultation so I can get to know your goals, etc. You can either call me at the number in my description, or set up a time to meet for a consultation with the calendar link. Looking forward to it.

Thank you so much. These are truly great ladies i surround myself with.

Awesome. I'm happy you enjoyed it and it was helpful. Thanks for watching.

You are so welcome. I will be doing more staging videos so be sure and come back. :0

Thank you so much. I appreciate you. I receive that.
