So this is all false whoever made this video clearly has no idea what he’s talking about I wonder if he has even been to KC

Was much cooler in Boardwalk Empire.

Perfect place to film a post apocalyptic movie

lived in KC my whole life. KC has BY FAR the best zoning out of any city I have ever lived in (FL, GA, OK, TX, LA, NY).. driving is therapudic. this video is something I would make to keep people out of our beautiful way of life. Your whole city is a sardine can... KC is the opposite... shhhhhhh!!!!!

Unjustly established Empires will fall. FAFO

City failed because it was too dark if you know what I mean

Who keeps killing cultures in the name of diversity. A Big Democrat. Over 70 years.

It's important to notate which Kansas City, because there's two! One in Kansas, and one in Missouri

Progress? They ruined it!💔😢

Atlantic City looks like a real life liminal space

I say it all the time! Modern architecture has ruined everything!

Almost like the mafia runs a better government than the politicians.

Invaders plus DEI folks destroy everything 😂😂😂😂😂

Most of the nice looking houses in the cities 100+ years ago isn't where the working poor lived. They would have loved a sturdy concrete block apartment on a city street. And Blade Runner is always a poor example when comparing with today. Something that isn't very clear in the movie is that the earth is getting depopulated. Anyone who is healthy, educated and competent are leaving for the colonies. It is briefly mentioned that housing in the city is easy to come by. But as a result nothing new is built, except by the companies staying on earth, and even maintaining the buildings isn't done, leading to a run down decaying city full of people that for some one reason or another isn't fit for employment off planet.

Kcmo native here, funny seeing my old “luxury” apartment building-River Market paid $1800 a month to live in one of the the few “walkable” neighborhoods. Kcmo also has a severe housing crisis that no one seems to be talking about

Cutlure will never survive the weathering of greed.

Where did you get the list @ 0:35

In second grade 2004 a close friend of mine moved to Atlantic City, we were from northern Jersey. Really makes me wonder what happened to him and his family and if they lived in one of those houses we are seeing

The city is certainly beautiful, but like many American cities was built an a precarious sandy barrier. Putting it at great risk of destruction via hurricane storm surge anyways. See images of hurricane sandy for an example of the inevitable destruction faced by towns and cities built on coastal barrier systems. The cities of course can be rebuilt, but why rebuild in the same exact place, (Hurricanes are increasing in both frequency and intensity) when you could rebuild elsewhere for a longer lasting settlement.

This is what happens after the small hats have used the strip-mined corpse of your country as a puppet for decades

Beginning to understand why US visitors love Liverpool. Perfectly preserved walkable city centre, tight green belt to prevent sprawl, great metro system and wonderful architectural inheritance even in small scale terraced housing. New development that is an exciting foil for the old. Liverpool was basically lucky. The post war plans to clear everything were foiled by the collapse of its economy in the early 70s and the entire city centre went to sleep for 25 years.

My otha brotha.

Television in Cincinnati in the 50s 60s WLWT WCPO NETWORK SHOWS FROM CINCINNATI WAS VERY EXCITING! RUTH LYONS PAUL DIXON DOTTI MACK MADE CINCINNATI AN ENTERTAINMENT CENTER! THOSE WERE THE DAYS!

This was only New Englands playground. The rest of the country wanted nothing to do with it.

I'm afraid it's going to get much worse, before (if) it ever gets better; for now the uglification thrives. Even though I live in a medium-sized city I like it less and less with every passing year. The mayor is basically owned by the developers and concrete monsters keep popping up everywhere.

I remember Atlantic City and also Margate in the 70s. Why America so disrespects its cultural heritage is so bewildering to me. It's absolutely barbaric.

So instead of catering to the best in people they chose to cater to the worst in people. Great plan.

Name of the town at 7:41 please

Kansas City, like many large cities were beautiful with classy architect. However, they've been uglified with American waste behavior.

Most the office space, wealth and overall density is in Johnson county Kansas now. Kcmo has a lower density and a higher single family housing rates than Overland Park and Lenexa Kansas now. Kcmo had more homicides than St. Louis in 2023.

I moved over 11 years ago. I didn’t know how bad it was until I left. I knew I was poor. I knew others around me were poor. I know what happened. People there know what happened. All they talked about from the 80’s until I left was “what to do with the waterfront”.

I saw what you did there, don't throw shit at brutalism. Brutalism is beautiful, but difficult to implement but when it works it is a clear reflection that sometimes less is more.

I still enjoy a day or two in AC, I love the ocean & the boardwalk is still okay.

This all goes back to those here IN USA who sent industrial base to china ....I don't judge no one ...God will.

Hartford currently has two federal buildings. The Ribbicoff and the Cotter. Both are nearly empty. A recently fire drill at one of these buildings showed about 40-50 employees & visiting public exit the building. And they plan to build a third federal building in Hartford. Talk about waste. Dont build a new federal building, close one of them down. Most of the federal government teleworks and these buildings arent needed. The upkeep and repairs alone are a waste not to mention the cost of the land and additional GSA personnel to run them.

Hi everyone! 👋

Ew colorized Metropolis.

They don't even have a daily newspaper anymore.

It seems as though every large, medium and small American city has been destroyed. This is sad to see what was. I visited the city and was quite disappointed to see what Hartford now represents however there is some hope, I like to think.

Most American cities are a soulless desolation conducive to alienation and thus mental illness. Americans did this with their eyes wide open.

4:01 I agree with your overall point but theres a big detail I think thats being lost: that is in the first half of the 20th century that huge problem with slums and homelessness. All we see today is all the wonderful and beautiful buildings, but the folks of that day only saw cities that were struggling to cope with a booming population as a result of increasing industrialization We may consider the "Panelák" (and its many equivalents in the communist world) eerie and lifeless, or "Suberbia" in the capitalist world dull and uninspiring - but they represented an attempt to address a systemic issue in their collective lives; affordable housing (Also New York will never be as bad as it was in the 70s, every film that was shot looked like a dystopian movie)

could it be too many sitting on their as watching tv all day no need to build or talk to anyone anymore

The northeast area survived but took alot of tax money to do it and very expensive homes

Its from criminal theft within the lawmakers

R.I.P. Kansas City.

What a crime to demolish these beautiful houses. It is a betrayal of its culture. Unfortunately, this happens all over the world.

Don’t worry about us. Our comeback is going crazy.

The fall of Kansas City, brought to you by redlining, the second segregation, jc Nicholls, and car centrism

Where's Lucy? Is she still there? We went about 10 years ago and we were the only people going inside Lucy and we stayed in there half and hour and observing the few people that we saw walking by
