The SW part of Missouri, 7000 people and I truly believe That is how many families bring home their food, rent and normal living expenses. Not many people that live here can't get a decent job. When it comes from Federal Government you don't see it. You had it right when you said Misery. Drugs seem the biggest industry.

[@KS5040]

That's because SW Missouri has a 2nd world economy that mostly revolves around cheap labor, low wages, and jobs that require more advanced education and training are not emphasized or quite often don't exist at all. Springfield is a complete joke with some of the worst wages in the US for any city of its size. Very few good paying jobs at all.

Here in Camden County anyway, "Missourah" seems to be the preferred pronunciation. We got here in Sept of last year, and I must admit that it does not take long to start pronouncing it like everyone else either.

After moving here I would never recommend people to move here. All three major cities, including Springfield, are in the top 100 high crime cities in the US. The personal property tax is atrocious. Go to SW Missouri where Springfield is and you'll see hourly wages that are not nearly keeping up with cost of living. Mix that with the personal property tax and you'll see a community with some of the oldest and most broken vehicles on the roadway, it's because people can't afford newer cars because the personal property tax is so high. Missouri is a blue state pretending to be a red state. Missouri ranks one of the worst for healthcare and for healthy living. I have never seen so many 40 year old obese people with walkers in my entire life. They all put on a show that they ware down to earth and neighborly, which isn't true at all some of the biggest scammers I have come across. Just research how the airport was built, how Springfield spends and launders tax payer money so they can hide it. Look up how many police chiefs or fire chiefs in this region have been arrested or ousted for corruption or crime. The number is highly staggering. Compare this city with similar sized "metro" areas and there is a complete lack of amenities because these people don't like change or do something fraudulent to scam potential companies from coming in. The outlying jurisdictions will raise sales tax rather than have more businesses move as there is a complete misunderstanding how business and revenue works.

So what about Benton County. And anastine realty

[@wiserlivingrealty]

Benton County is in Arkansas not Missouri 😂 And I've never heard of Anastine Realty 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@KS5040]

Benton County is very very poor, backward beyond belief.

How’s the diversity over there? I’m Mexican American with conservative beliefs, is their decent Mexican restaurants? Lol

[@wiserlivingrealty]

@@ferdinandflowers3189 my best friend is Mexican American 😊 he’s originally from Texas, but fell in love with the community he got involved her Springfield has amazing tacos. The sketchier the taco truck, the better lol

[@bluesky5384]

I'm in the St. Louis suburbs and encounter people that are white, black, Bosnian, and Mexican mostly. You'll find a mix of liberal and conservative beliefs here too. You'll find less diversity (mostly conservative and white) outside of St. Louis, Kansas City, Springfield, or Columbia.

It is a low wage cesspool with bad weather most of the year and excessively conservative in most areas.

Whats this guy talking about no trucks in CA? You cant believe anything these people making videos say.

[@wiserlivingrealty]

We're not saying there are no trucks. There's just not as many as you have here 😂
