Houston vs Kansas City - Which City is the Best? THINGS GET REAL!

[@NewToKansasCity]

Thanks so much for the opportunity Jaylenn!

[@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong]

It was great to see you today brother! Hope to see you soon!

Hey jaylenn! I am moving to KC for work at saint lukes on the plaza and I am going to have to rent for a couple of years most likely. Are you aware of any safe apartment complexes near the plaza? Budget is looking up to 1500/month

[@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong]

Hey Brandon! Yes, I do! Want to chat about it? I know another client who is in the same situation.

Try KMacho's in OVP and there's some good Mexican food off Broadway in KCMO like Pinches Tacos

[@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong]

Yeah, not to mention Wyandotte County. However, I would believe it if Houston has better food!

[@JustRoShow]

@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong I actually plan to travel to Houston before the end of the yr. There's a Mexican place called Ninfas that I saw online I'd like to try while there. I like KMacho's it can get busy, but it's worth the wait when going. And there's a lady who works the bar that makes great drinks.

[@JustRoShow]

Oh and I can't forget KC Tacos in the Market area of downtown. It's small but you can easily miss it near the Farmers Market. I love the street corn there.

[@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong]

What’s your favorite Asian food place?

[@JustRoShow]

@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong now that's a hard one. The last place I tried was on Wornall Rd and 85th called Joy Wok. It's a buffet style and they have all you can eat crab legs. Not bad for maybe a mid week outing. There's also a place on Wornall and 90th st and a place called Bo Lings on 135rh and Metcalf. You'll spend more money but they aren't bad

I don't understand the debate between the MO or KS side. If you want boring, culture-less suburbs go to kansass. If you want the CITY side with all of the attractions live in Missouri.

[@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong]

I tend to agree with you, but in Kansas you have safely and good schools. For families that’s huge.

[@danieljones3634]

Really considering kc

[@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong]

Thanks for commenting! When would you move?

[@rebeccaponce6767]

I moved to KCMO from Upstate, NY. I cried when I got there. I missed the beauty of Upstate. To me, the cost of living was cheaper than KC. Taxes on everything is what drove me out of KC and back to Houston. I never drove a new car in KC because of the personal property tax. I stopped working in Olathe because I had to pay state taxes there and MO. Taxes on groceries, E-tax, state tax. It was too much for really nothing. I actually came back to Houston. I’m much happier now. It’s not Upstate but it’s far better than KC. Just my opinion.

[@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong]

Thanks for sharing! Surprising to hear that NY's cost of living was less than KC! Was it rent or taxes?
