    Its nice to see a person on the internet insulting the cities you grew up in😐 as somebody who grew up in Coffeyville, currently lives in independence, and frequents the other cities, i can tell you that the crime here isn't as bad as this guy makes it seem. Its not like you're going to get mugged on the street as soon as you walk into town, like this man makes it seem. How can you speak about how the crime in these cities is so bad if you yourself bring no evidence that you live here? And for independence, you've got the wrong city. Thats Missouri's Independence. Get your facts and your script straight before you start calling everyone's city a ghetto

Our entertainment is wonderful (not just because I personally know a lot of people in music lol) and also it’s a great centralized place if you wanna drive to Denver it’s only 6 or so hours. KC and OKC 2.5 hours.

Problem is, he's not smart enough to fact-check himself, or he'd realize the two murders were in Independence, MO... a town with a population of 117,000! Big, big difference.

    I live in Wichita. I do not think of it as a dangerous city. I know it is statistically as a whole, but it all depends on the neighborhood you live in and where you spend your time. Probably could be said of any city. I live in the NW corner of the city and it is quite safe here and the Far East nicer neighborhoods are a good place to raise a family as well. Most of the violent crime seems to happen in the North central, downtown, and south side of Wichita.

My sister has been in so much trouble and had issues that you talk about, but I have had very little. The worst thing I have had was when my sister borrowed my car for the weekend and then let her at the time bf take it to go get ciggies, because she was too lazy to get up. He never came back with it. About a week later it was left running in some people's driveway. It was full of gang and drug signia so the police said and it was totalled. I've had a few tickets that I felt were not my fault, but doesn't almost everyone think that too.

    I have lived in Kansas all my life, mostly in Topeka, and unfortunately crime is quite high here. As you noted, if you live in Johnson County, southwest side of the KC metro, it is very nice. The difference between most places in Kansas and more populous areas around the country, is that it is easier to avoid the trouble spots. Crime is everywhere, but for the most part You can pick and choose where are you go and stay away from the bad stuff. Enjoy your videos thank you for making them. Peace

    I am from a tiny town in Kansas and I can honestly say where there are people, there is crime. The issue with Kansas is there are few drug rehabilitation centers and mental health services so we tend to have a large number of meth addicts out and about. And due to lack of funding and spaces available they cannot receive the help they need.
    Also, small towns are great for classroom size, but can lack due to funding issues. My school didn’t have any AP programs, and our special Ed classrooms where limited in funding so they couldn’t offer as many opportunities as the bigger schools. Just something to consider for families thinking about moving.
