I Explored The Worst Neighborhoods In Kansas City

Man what you said was right I was raised there Raytown area now there moving south and east what wasnt bad is not questionable the racial thing is strong
there letting the blacks kill themselves off question were did the young people get all the guns from, kansas city mentality with black folks are copy cat mentality
there influenced by others and dont think for themselves I was raised there I know, I don live there anymore, both Kansas and kansas city has a white supreme strong hold is some of the
reason why the things go the way they go.

You're both wrong about mixed income neighborhoods being unsuccessful though. Kids who grow up in mixed income neighborhoods as opposed to segregated low income/section 8 neighborhoods are statistically far more likely to be economically successful. It also brings higher incomes in general into the neighborhood without pricing out others and stops "ghettos" and food deserts being created with pools of low income residents who end up trapped there. You can think it's a bad idea all you want, the results say different.

Kcmo isn't bad during the daylight.

That’s the new motto project and regular society living in the same apartment complex.

I live in kansas city for 40 years never had a problem.

All the jobs,wealth and density are in Johnson county Kansas now where Overland Park is

Kc is dope I like the people there a underrated city

Kc don’t do meth I no a lot of you do it

Nah. There are places to stay away from.

You nailed it. However, you have not been around State Line. I invite you to drive the Strip. Kc is pretty safe. Just know where you are going

Crime has been really pushed. I have lived here my entire life. No excuses. There is a lot of gang related violence. Police dont want to get involved. And I dont blame them.

Typical right winger. Bad mouthing and stereotyping folks that live in public housing. I live in public housing in MO. I'm no theif or crackhead and neither are my neighbors. Those of us living on small disability checks can't afford anything else. We deserve to live in safe neighborhoods to. And to segregate us into high crime areas is disgusting. Most of my neighbors are elderly and/or disabled. You obviously have a prejudice against folks on "welfare" Typical right winger

that looks like a nice part of kcmo

People left Missouri KC for a place called Grandview back in the 80sLeaving a lot of abandoned houses.

I just want to thank you first for your guts. And also willing to explore. Never go in at night.

Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas, although geographically close, are two separate and distinct cities with no real connection to one another. They only share a name. It was painful to watch the KC, Kansas police officer struggle to answer questions about KC, Missouri where he neither works nor lives. Oh well, it was still interesting to learn about the problems in Kansas City, Kansas.

The cop is so inarticulate.

Watch out for the nasty hood of Overland Park

I like how you speak on my city all reckless but you aint from here 😅 you sound like a damn fool and everyone FROM HERE knows it ain't even like you speak on it.

I moved here 2 years ago from a "larger town" in Kansas. I've found the people here in every area I've been in are very friendly and helpful, more so than any other larger city I've been to. I really LOVE living in KCMO!

I just learned they're not building houses under $500,000 in KCMO. I'd say affordable housing still isn't being built.

Those def weren’t the worst looking spots in KC. Independence ave. Prospect and 20-30s

It's meth and crack in Blue Valley too...They go to the blighted sides to get it. Talk about that PART.

Nick. When does your release of the song you sang come out? lol

Some investigators in media need to do an in-depth examination of what happened to police being on patrol; traffic stops, or investigations. Where are the police hiding? How was KCMO able to conjure 800 officers to attend the Chief’s rally at Union Station but we never see them in the surrounding neighborhoods? Why have traffic stops stopped when more stolen cars are being driven with impunity and the streets have never been so crowded with hazardous drivers? Why is the illegal trade in guns and drugs allowed to flourish openly, dangerously? We pay high taxes for law enforcement and unless we resort to vigilantism we do expect the police to actually do their job. KCPD Chief Graves needs to publicly answer these questions.

Springfield checkin in. In Springfield, you can stay much safer just by staying out of the trailer parks.

Don't be a ussy

Just make it all white and it will be perfect

I’ve lived in KC all my life. I’m clean and sober for over ten years now. It’s really not that bad, even after dark. Look, if your into drugs and that life, yeah, you might run into trouble… that is expected ANYWHERE. I do installation work around KS. I’ve done jobs on troost and prospect. Walking around, in people’s backyards…. Yes, obviously you knock on the front door and ask lol. I would never live in those neighborhoods, but it’s not as bad as some people make it. If you do, or sell drugs… yup, you might get robbed or shot one day….. that’s not just a KS thing

You just there come back thur areound 5

Thats my bus in troost lol good ol troost max and banister trails

Hey GENIUS... YOU'RE QUOTING FAKE NEWS AND STATISTICS... WHAT A JOKE OF A VIDEO 🤮

I lived in Kansas City as a child from 1982-84, and it was wild then, living in the Independence projects most notably.

You kinda disrespectful

Nick you should watch the first 48 episode about Terry Blair & Pierce Morgan’s interview with Lorenzo Gilyard.

KCMO resident my whole life here . I live in the hood ,never really felt unsafe. The violence isn't random, it's usually gang rested and specific. Just mind your bussiness and you'll be fine.

I have lived in northeast Kansas City off St. John and I have lived off 31st by prospect. Keep your head down (but not really) and mind your business. Be aware of your surroundings. I always carried some type of weapon with me though. I always made sure to get home before dark.

just spent 5 days in KC. It's grown up a lot. Much nicer that it was when I was growing up there in the 1970's, i graduated from high school in KC 1982.

Remember this is the 2008 market crash and then brownback as governor

I've been to kansas city and lots of people tell me their mayor Quentin Lucas is the problem. He and a lot of law officials are way too lenient on criminals, especially gangs

I’m from the KC area. I love KCMO I get it it’s bad but it is a fun place and it wouldn’t touch St.Louis in crime

As you pointed out, most of KC's crime is centered around a few small areas, and even if you live in these areas, if you are not into drugs or gangs you should be relatively ok.

It’s a dump. There’s more shootings there than St. Louis. Johnson county Kansas is where most the jobs and density is.

The fact that you labeled Westport as fancy tells how little you know.

❤❤❤

Right by my apartment, it’s not that bad if you handle yourself properly.
