I’ve lived in this city my entire life All it is, is houses, restaurants and stores Sure it’s safe but there’s really nothing fun to do

[@deathvalley1477]

Come live in NYC. People spend 4-6 hours daily commute. Homes over 1.5 million. Ends after 30 years almost 4. Major of NYC calls great salaries at $52000 a year. You are working mandatory a sixth day any field of work. You rush at work like you are a slave and your boss a slave-driver whipping you all day. Union in NYC suck ass. Homelesses all over the city. If me and you can pee on the corners , cops give us a ticket. But all 42 nd street looks like old Turkish toilets where every homeless take a dumb without problems. Dirty all over. Maybe you get time once month to go out get drunk and come home dead, because you have two hours left to sleep . U wearing up 3:30 -4 am for a 7 am start at work. You see your kids growing up without having any memory of them even though you live with them every day. We don't know what trees and parks are. After reading this are you still bored of overland park? Do you want to switch life? Let's do it right now

@@deathvalley1477 Anyone who complains about living in states similar to Kansas or in smaller communities are those who have never really lived in major cities. I've lived in several major cities in various states and can easily whole heartedly agree with everything you said and know for certain there's no place I'd rather be then the small city I currently reside in central Kansas.

@The One - My career may soon bring me to settle in Overland Park. May I ask, for a monogamous settled married gay couple, is this a safe place to live, or will we face issues? Just asking this out of ignorance for the area, so I hope you don’t mind. We are both middle aged professionals and live a very settled, normal life, but wanted to make sure we were not heading into any trouble. Thanks so much, have a great day!

How is it that Overland Park is home to so many large corporations? Just curious.

[@bjdon99]

When it was built out 20-30 yrs ago it had the right kind of locations for corporate HQs with lots of easy access (the KC metro really loves freeways) and good housing/schools for a workforce. Also this is where a lot of Kansas school college grads move to. The tax situation is better on the KS side of the state line vs MO as well.

This sprawling metropolis is quite a bit denser than kcmo
