![5 Safest & Most Dangerous Neighborhoods In Kansas City [BEWARE]](/img/n.gif)
Hidden Valley: Where the CERNER Complex is, a large shopping center used to sit. Bannister Mall. Real nice. But gangs and crime was its downfall and it was demolished. To the east of it was a Walmart “Hyper-Mart”. Gigantic. Also lots of other stores nearby. And Benjamin Stables for horse-riding. All gone now.
All of those seem like they would have been great places to spend time. When did they leave?
My work is sandwiched between two of these neighborhoods. I work at the Kansas City VA Hospital. While I often can hear gunfire off in the distance, I never truly feel unsafe. Most of the bad stuff happens after my workday ends and I'm back at the house in Blue Springs. Before I started working at the VA, I was a delivery driver for Amazon. A lot of my days were spent making deliveries in what many consider dangerous neighborhoods off of Troost, Prospect, Benton, The Paseo, etc.... never had any issues and never felt like I was in danger. There is good and bad everywhere, even out here in my little suburban town.
Thanks for sharing! I have a client who bought a home in Gladstone and she works at the same hospital I believe! She says she works at the VA as well. She stated that it's not the best area, but not as horrible as it can get. Is there only one VA hospital here?
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong There is the main campus on Linwood Blvd and an outpatient clinic called the Honor Annex which is located off of Sterling/I-70. In your drone footage for Vineyard, you briefly showed the big Hospital on top of the hill. That's where I work :) Paused at 1:22 seconds. Top left of screen. Can't miss it :)
@@streetrodder06 Thanks for sharing your experiences! Comments like these really enrich my videos and help people. Thank you so much!
The gunshots you are hearing are from the Police firing range not far off from where you are. Usually. The firing range is right where Winchester and Coal Mine Rd converge. If you happen to be there at 4:30 in the morning, you'll hear a wonderful array of night waking gunshots. But, I grew up a few blocks from the VA. It's a pretty rough 'hood now days. Some of your listening pleasure may be due to some knucklehead doing something they shouldn't be doing.
@@knucklehead83 Good to know! I didn't know there was a police range so close to there!
I grew up in North East went to North East high school and lived at St John and spruce. North topping as well I used to go back and visit my next door neighbor who stayed in the old neighborhood. I said Buford I can't believe you haven't moved to the suburbs. He said why the neighborhood has been quiet since you moved away. Of course he was mostly kidding although I was a troubled young man. I grew out of it and have been a productive citizen since September first 1987.
Congratulations! Thanks for sharing this story. I hope that you're enjoying life in the suburbs! Where did you move to?
Ruskin Heights and Swope Park far worse than some of those.
How do you figure? Experience?
Thank you for the informative videos! I work for T-Mobile and am hoping to land a promotion that will have me moving from South Florida to one of our headquarters in OP. All of your videos are really helping me to narrow down where to live. Thanks for all you do, Jaylenn!
You’re very welcome! Thank you for commenting on my videos! I would love to chat with you to help you narrow down an area if you’re open to that!
You are going to be fine in OP, or anywhere in Johnson County, KS for that matter. One of the safest and wealthiest counties in the entire country.
@@mattlind73 Agreed! Thanks for sharing!
There are some pockets of quaint charm or money but the city for the most part is certainly not great. I am glad there are people like you and your family trying to bring goodness to these communities. Stay safe!
Thank you very much! I know that we love it here, even though it is difficult at times. We hope things change for the better. We were just at the park this past weekend, and we saw a lot of people who wanted to see things change as well, so that was really encouraging.
Your opening shot of Blue Hills has my childhood house in it! The tall one upper left. 5201 Garfield! (1962-68) Me and my siblings spent a lot of time in Blue Hills Park. Very nostalgic to see this area again! Thanks.
You're welcome! We love Blue Hills! Where do you live now?
I just stumbled across this video & i LOVE your take on positivity and neighbor-friendliness-you're right!!!
Appreciate it! We do love our neighborhood, but we see the issues that have to be overcome for this to be a truly good area.
I used to bike rude through Blue Hills with a resident. Kansas City has a lot to offer. I highly recommend you do your research and consider anywhere you feel comfortable in the city.
Thanks for sharing! Where do you live now?
Great Video. I think your absolutely correct. I live out in the country. But as a route delivery driver.
My route was basically from. Independence Ave to 85th and State Line to 435 on the East.
There is lots of good neighborhoods with one bad block. Or good neighborhood with 1 bad main st. such as Indep ave. or Prospect ave. I drove around that area for 30 years. Only had a few bad e periences.
That's the same in these neighborhoods! We live in #4, and while things have gotten worse here, I can say that our block was previously safe and quiet, before activity picked up.
As a bus operator for the city I can confirm this is wrong. I drive all these routes daily and can positively say it’s a zoo. I’ve saved 3 people from overdoses with narcan. Watched countless fights and robberies and saw way too many crime scenes. Not to mention being attacked while in the performance of my duties. I’m not saying you’re wrong there are plenty of nice people in every area. But they’re drowned out by the wickedness of others.
@@shanecarter6421 Would you be willing to come on the channel for an interview? I think it would help people to hear a first-hand account of someone who has been all over the city.
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong Absolutely. I think that would be a great opportunity to express the love we have for the city. I have many good and bad experiences just from the various parts of KC that I’ve found myself in while working.
@@shanecarter6421 Can you text me at 626.226.6611, and we will get it set up?
You must be extremely proud to have a Space Ranger for a son, especially at such a young age.
This comment made me smile so much! We are incredibly proud of the little guy. In fact, he's wearing his Space Ranger PJ's to bed tonight! I just popped in and told him that people love his Space Ranger outfit!
I’ve lived in the same neighborhood as you for about 4 years now. It can get kinda wild sometimes, but I mind my own business and no one bothers me. Can’t say the same for when I lived near Westport. I’ve been jumped, had my car broken into, had someone try to steal my car once and my girlfriends twice.
WOW! That's crazy that Westport was worse than Blue Hills. I would assume you like it better here?
6:29 Those are the old Knob Hill apts, they are probably 50 years old, they have had a few name changes and rehabs, most of the problems in Hidden Valley are in the apartment complex itself, not so much where the single family homes are
Great to know. Did you live in that area?
Can we get a most dangerous north of the river? good video
I could do that. However, I would have to find a separate list to go off of, since I can't make up my own list. I don't want to be accused of breaking Fair Housing Laws.
Grandview and independence are hell on earth, how are these not on the list?
Because they are different cities but yes
Right. It's hard to compare Grandview and Independence to KCMO.
St. louis Mo. sits besides the Mississippi river. East side state, you know arch Gateway to the west.
I almost rented in Marlborough, really glad I ended up in North Indian Mound, literally could not recommend this neighborhood more 💯
Awesome! So glad you ended up in a good spot. Did you look at places in Marlborough?
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong I did, had a pretty sketchy experience right off the bat and decided to look elsewhere.
25 years ago, I rented an excellent apartment in the Crown Center area, overlooking the WWI memorial. It was very nice and only a 3 miles to Country Club Plaza. I only stayed in KC for two years before relocating back to FL. Would have stayed longer except for the winter.
Yes, we love that area. Would you ever come back to KC? I hear the winters are more mild now.
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong Nah, happily settled in FL now and for the past 20+ years.
@@prettygirlus9008 Great! I hope that you continue to love it there. Thanks for watching and commenting!
If you ever do another vid like this can you show a map?
Sure can! I can easily do that next time I record on like this. Thank you for the helpful feedback!
I grew up in KC and I never visited or knew where these neighborhoods are. When I was there KCK was NOT the place to be. It’s interesting how quickly things can change.
Yeah, they are all pretty close in proximity to each other! Things certainly do change quickly. Our neighborhood has since the filming of this video.
I'm sure you are referring to the Northeast Quindaro part of KCK. You would actually be surprised, that part of KCK gets a bad rap from its past during the crack epidemic. I would say it's safer than any of the neighbors on this list. The Quindaro neighborhood has definitely made a change for the better. Unfortunately the Unified Govt still don't put resources in that part of KCK, they are concerned only with the Legends.
Definitely staying down prospect in the 30's was a nightmare gun shots daily ..yelling daily... constant sirens... I always felt unsafe staying there
Where did you move to?
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong shawnee
@@calebvibez266 Nice. Yeah, I would say that is much better in regards to safety. Why did you move? The safety issue?
I moved away from the big city to Harrisonville. We have crime here. It's everywhere. KC native.❤KC.
How do you like Harrisonville?
the guy that was asking you about the drone did he stay in the Parc at Creekside apartments or a different apartment building? If he stays at a different apartment building, what were they called? because I been looking rent a apartment in kc but just don't know what areas are the safest
That was the apartment! I don't know where he was in the Parc apartments, I think I remember he was out and about. It was a few months ago now! Are you already in KC, or looking to move here?
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong oh okay and currently I’m looking to move there soon
@@montanathomas8786 What's your budget?
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong max $850. Anything nicer but lower would be great. Looking for a 1 bedroom apartment. Not a studio apartment tho
3rd generation Kansas City resident. Well, the metro area at least. Interesting that all of these areas lie east of the old red line. My father grew up a block west of the red line. He was very liberal and tried to move us to the east side of the line when I was a small child in the early 80's. We joined the white flight the second time bullets came through our front window at 51st and The Paseo. Eventually Grandview became overran too. So we moved to Lee's Summit. I now reside in Independence. You should do one for the burbs as well. Grandview is a war zone. As is Turner on the Kansas side. Even Independence is now called Meth-dependence. You left out that Kansas City schools are or were unacredited. Not sure of their current status. Only live in the KC school district if you can afford to send your kids to private school. Otherwise, get out into the suburbs. Lee's Summit, Geain Valley, Blue Springs, Pleasant Hill, Liberty, or go to the Kansas side. Blue Valley schools are some of the best in the nation.
Yes, I do mention the school districts in other videos. I live very close to 51st and Paseo, when in the 80s did you move out of here? I will do some research on the suburbs.
I have lived in KC 64 years. The enire east side of Kansas City MO is dangerous. It's really not safe to walk anywhere. Anywhere east of Warnall you can be a victim of crime. But remember, there are three Kansas City's. Kansas City Missouri, Kansas City Kansas, and North Kansas City Missouri.
Thanks for commenting! You’re absolutely right!
0:26 That's the Mississippi River I've been driving over for 21 years? Is this some sort of Mandela effect? I could have sworn it was the Missouri River.
No, it's the Ohio River!😂
I'm sure it was a typo, but I think the info's still good!
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong your info is sooooo wrong. I was born and raised in KC for 48 years and the mIssissippi and ohio river are nowhere near Kansas city
@@denisewilson4789 Yes, I think most people are focusing on a typo in the article rather than the contents of the article. You're free to do so if you want.
Lewis to Ckatk.."sure thought we named that river The MISSOURI.." ..😂😂
Otherwise.great video...made me MISS KC❤
😁 Yeah, that was certainly a typo. I wish I would have seen it while editing the video, I would have pointed that out!
@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong lots of folks are having fun with that one! I'm glad you're a good sport! I played a couple of events at Kaw Point for The Lewis and Clark Foundation organization..cool park there with BIG Stones to sit on..carved with the Lewis and Clark Expedition names..one to each Stone..kinda cool ...
@@tiffanybarbee9316 Yeah! Kaw Point is an awesome park that not that many people talk about! I took the family there once, we would love to head back! Kids threw a bunch of rocks into the river where the KS and MO river meet.
5:43 "4th of July" ..... That city also?! TY.
You're welcome!
6:45 haven’t been in Cerner in over a decade but they don’t skimp on security, last time I was there they basically had swat teams, guys in body armor with AR’s at all times.
WOW! What's going on over there? I thought it was still Cerner, but I guess I was wrong.
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong it’s still Cerner, they’re just serious about security at Cerner LOL 🤣
@@hops2099x I heard it wasn't Cerner anymore, but I guess I'm wrong.
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong oh I hadn’t heard that I just moved back I guess I was assuming it’s still Cerner now, as for the armored guards this was at Cerner approx 2010. I was like why do they have better security than Whitman AFB over here LOL 🤣
@@hops2099x Nice! Welcome back! Where did you come back from?
I have lived in Marlborough East my entire life. It’s actually a really decent neighborhood. The gunshots ppl hear are from the neighborhood across Prospect. It’s just like any area though because there are idiots everywhere. I dunno who wrote this list but they don’t know what TF they’re talking about.
Thanks for commenting!
I never would have guessed that neighborhood as #1. I will check and see if you have done an Independence video. Yikes
I haven’t yet, but I do mention Independence in my other videos!
Some parts are bad and some are good. I stay in Overland park
Yes, Overland Park will definitely be a safe place to stay for the most part!
Go down Prospect, Benton, Troost, Paseo, Indiana or Independence Ave at any time of the day. Throw in Van Brunt & 31st and your videos will really show some bad areas. If you’re from the city you know it’s a block by block basis. Boarded up trap houses, then two blocks over there are gated communities. 😂
Totally true! That's why it's hard to advise people when they ask where to move!
Troost ain’t even bad anymore lol anything west of 71 is fine these days
@@wyattseidel4080 Agree to disagree, friend.
@@shanecarter6421 you prolly don’t go around those areas as much. Troost is still rough but really not bad same with blue hills im surprised it’s on the list. Most of my business is east of 71 so when I get projects west of 71 it’s all good to me. Maybe I’m just jaded
@@wyattseidel4080 I think that every part of the metro and surrounding areas have their own pockets of trouble, respectively. But honestly, it all depends on the people that are in those areas that day. I carry a lot of them around and I’ve been known to pick up more than a handful of people that just committed violent crimes from the north, south, east and west but I’ve come to deal with most of my problems from those main streets I mentioned above and more than a few I’ve left out because I could go on all day talking about different areas. And then there’s listening to all these people who either live in these areas or are homeless and strung out plus my personal experiences. And being jaded not a bad thing bro. You’ve been around the way I’m assuming and you’re not bothered the way someone from Lenexa or OP might be. Understandable.
Is there any common denominator among the five most dangerous cities in KC?
I'm sure that drugs and gangs drive the crime in these areas.
I’m always grilling at blue valley park 😂
It's a sweet place! I really like it, and brought the family to visit since I went there for this video!
lol we live in the same neighborhood. i can agree our neighborhood is not the best but it’s not the worse. mind your business and you’re ok!!
What’s up fellow Blue Hills resident! 🙂How long have you lived here?
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong just moved here like 3 months ago from the eastside over by truman and i fell it’s way better on the side
Sweet! I’m glad you’re liking it so far. Why did you move?
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong our lease was up in the apartments we where staying in. and honestly the crime was too much.
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong we where off 23rd st
Surprised independence ave neighbor hoods were not on the list
I was as well! I wouldn't be surprised if this list changes from time to time. I know how volatile our neighborhoods can be.
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong its getting a bit rough over here in independence as well stay safe man
@@austin8012 You as well. Thanks for taking time out of your day to comment on my videos.
I’ve lived in the area for sixty years. I only live north of the river and it’s getting worse by the day also.
Where in the Northland? I'm sorry to hear its getting worse there too!
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong now we’re north of Smithville lake. It’s not to bad up here ❤️
Way up there! How long have you lived there?
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong over thirty years now
@@noplacelikehomecrochet5335 Great! Are you in Plattsburg, or in Smithville proper?
Cerner doesn't exist anymore though. Didn't when this video came out.
I heard it was shutting down, but I just talked to a client who works for Cerner. Maybe I have wrong information.
Wait…. Is he saying at the beginning that a real estate agent can get in trouble if they suggest avoiding a neighborhood due to crime because there might be a correlation of the crime with demographics therefore making it racial profiling to point that out?
That's exactly right. Fair housing laws are to prevent discrimination due to race. If people think that you're correlating race and crime, then you can get into big trouble. I'm free to cite another source and just go off the information (which is what I did here), but I have to walk a fine line there.
How about the crime rate just being high? I would want to know that if I’m not from KC. Has nothing to do with profiling. Just trying to stay safe. Also high crime is a reason the value of the area just goes down. Doubt this dude is racist. Facts don’t lie.
@@karimkhouzam6177 Thanks. I don't think I'm racist either. We love living in our neighborhood, and don't give it much of a thought. It's just that if I give my own opinion, I could be accused breaking fair housing laws which would be a huge issue for my license.
Well you sure can't trust that web page. @25 seconds it says.
"Sitting along the Mississippi River, Kansas City....."
Ehh...I see your point, but I would think that a typo may not invalidate the whole article. I think it's fairly accurate after doing research and finding other lists.
Dude loves slides
Sure do!
Interesting, but myself,.. wouldn't.
Are you saying you wouldn't live in one of these areas?
The article you link to starts off with "Sitting along the Mississippi River, Kansas City is the....." Kansas City doesn't sit along the Mississippi River. It sits along the Missouri River. St Louis sits along the Mississippi. That's concerning.
Yes, understood. Its a typo, but I don't think that means the information isn't good.
#1 should be little Harlem. North of the river east of the downtown airport. Makes up 70% of all Clay county crime. Has all the nice new condos, but also has all the homeless crime.
Honestly, I have never heard of this area. Tell me more. Where did you find these stats?
Anywhere up north is a drop in the bucket compared to south of the river. Even Wyandotte is worse than the Gladstone/Northland area. But the crime spills over everywhere. If you do some digging you’ll find that anywhere the city bus goes, so does the trouble.
@@shanecarter6421 The area I'm talking about is east of the downtown airport where all the old motels are. Instead of going to the downtown airport you take a right. That area is the worst of KC. It's where the one trans person stabbed another person because they stole her dress. Even the northland has its problems. The Staley area has a drug/prescription drug issue. (newmark) Standoffs and old men shooting kids for going to the wrong house. The little girl who was disabled that was shot with bird shot by a teenager. To answer the original poster I got the stats from when I served on the grand jury for Clay country..
@@johnathansteil8186 I know exactly the area you’re talking about. That’s actually the tip of the Northeast which runs from east of the airport near 3rd st, all the way out to independence avenue and 24 highway. My comment about south of the river was specifically geared towards that area. I’ve lived in the northland and south kc through out my life. I agree that every area in every city has its better and worse spots but comparing any part of north of the river to south of the river is child’s play. The cases you’re talking about are what the local news likes to show for views. They don’t care about the double and triple homicides from black on black crime. I’m referencing a case that happened off of Indiana ave that I responded to during my time as an EMT. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Currently I’m a bus operator for RideKC where I’ve had to utilize my medical training to save 3 people from opiate overdoses, I’ve been physically assaulted by passengers that caused my to have to have surgery on my tailbone and I’ve had to use my belt to tourniquet a man’s arm after he was shot before he boarded the bus. I can tell you for 100% certainty that anywhere the city bus goes, trouble always follows.
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWongharlem is full of drugs and child molesters and homeless camps near the river. It's a fucked up lil place
I went to the Texas Toms on independence avenue (near the south blue valley neighborhood) around 11pm on a Friday. It was wild. There were an overwhelming amount of people lying on the sidewalks and hunched up shaking against the wall. I looked in my review mirror and saw three guys running across the street with balaclavas on…yeah…do not go to anywhere near Van Brunt Blvd/Hardesty Ave.
If you want Texas toms go to the on Linwood Blvd. it’s a much better experience lol
Thanks for the tip. Yeah, Independence Avenue is a place with a ton of activity.
Texas Toms is my fav
“This could be a nice little house”
“I had to cut the video short because the gunshots were getting to close”
😂
That's pretty funny now that you point it out!
Too bad our cops are terrible here in Kansas
I heard this about Missouri, but not about Kansas. Are you taking about the entire Kansas City area when you say "Kansas," or are you referring to the Kansas side of Kansas City?
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong I have also heard this about Missouri. However, I am referring to our state as a whole.
@@TheImbored09 Got it. I haven't heard the same about Kansas, I thought that people were pretty happy with the police presence in that area.
Where do you live again
We live in Blue Hills.
I wouldn’t trust that list, the screenshot you showed said Kansas City is along the Mississippi River LMAO
Yes, multiple people have pointed that out. I still think the list is valid, but thanks for commenting.
You’re obviously on the MO side. Nice to see cats from KC making a go of it.
Yup. We like the Missouri side! We hope to stay here for a long time! Do you live here too?
I've lived in Kansas City area all my life and I've never heard of any of these areas. Had to look them up on Google Maps. I understand the point of this video. However, if you're looking to move to KC (area) and CAN afford somewhere nicer, try: the Northland (near Zona Rosa), Parkville, Liberty, Overland Park, Mission, Prairie Village, Leawood, Lenexa, Lee's Summit. Gladstone is decent in some areas too.
The areas he talked about are mostly(all of them perhaps) in Kansas City proper. I hadn't heard of a few of them, but I grew up in one of them. Actually, number 1 on the list. Which really isn't that bad. I still have friends from my childhood that live in the same house they lived in when I was a kid. I'm hitting 51 in a month.
Thanks for commenting! The purpose of this video is to show off the areas that you hear about all the time in the news, and hopefully to show that you can raise a family in these areas if you wish to do so. Of course, there are going to be crime-ridden areas that are unsafe. I think that the news presents a caricature of KC that isn't always the case. Thanks for your input! Are you in the Northland?
Thanks for commenting! Do you still live in Kansas City?
Mississippi River gos thru StLoius not KCMo
Yep. That was a typo in the article. Thanks for commenting.
And that’s why people live on the Kansas side.
Yes, but the Kansas side has it's share of crime as well.
Only thing I've learned from this video is how little you know about Kansas City.
😳 I guess you need better listening skills!
The article starts by saying KC sits along the Mississippi River.. maybe should have disregarded it immediately
Ehh...I get the sentiment, but I think that a typo doesn't negate the information given.
I'm not in real estate and I'm going to say it....If you can afford it...please stay out of certain neighborhoods...
Thanks! I know that some people definitely feel like that. We do love where we live even though it was on this list!
The people that live in bad areas don't want to live there either. It's almost like we need to do something about that, but instead tax breaks for the rich and trickle down economics will fix everything right?
@@jeremybrunk9576 What would you suggest can be done? Asking in all earnestness.
How about shifting money away from the overbloated military budget to more social safety net programs like every other country in the world does? I understand the defense contractors insist that our military budget must be larger than the next 11 largest military nations in the world combined but does it? Really?
@@mickeyhadley4281 Do you think that more safety nets would make these areas better?
I was waiting for blue valley a while back they shot the ice cream man and stole his ice cream

@@JuanDominguez- Ah, yes I think I was.
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong Yeah, I instantly recognized the background
Good lord. I'm so glad I live rural! We like to visit parts of KC and eat, etc but being white there's no way in hell id live in any of those places. Also, 85 k for that POS in a high crime rate area says everything about this broken housing market. This country is rotting.
Thanks for your opinion! Where do you live?
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong Outside of Leavenworth. No offense to any of you like yourself that live there. I like the city but I dont want to get shot/mugged. I worked all over KC for years. I didn't realize we we're so high on rhe crime charts I think it ranks #5 now. Houses here are also way overpriced. I live in old house that needs a ton of work. They doubled my homeowners and constantly try to cancel it and my taxes went up 50% this year. And now they are bussing in migrants to the leavenworth federal prison and using it as a distribution center to scatter them all over the KC area and these people have no where to go.
I didn’t hear about the immigrant thing! I did know about the property taxes and the insurance. I’m so sorry about that. It’s hitting people hard. How did you hear about the dissemination of the people throughout the metro?
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong a leavenworth county commisioner sent us a letter about it. I still have it but I dont recall his name. I got it a few months ago.
@@princessadventures1285 Is it private information? Would you be comfortable sending it to me? I always want to do more research about the area, and this would really help!
absolutely positively never move to Marlborough heights, trust me
We spend a lot of time there since we have close friends there. There are some really nice houses there, along with some that aren't so great.
The crime rate in KC is pretty misleading. Yes we do have a lot of oppurtunistic methheads , but for the most part the violence is not random . If you mind your bussiness you'll be fine. I've lived in the hood most of my life.
Thanks for commenting! Where do you live in KC?
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong around 63rd and paseo.
@@fransenmusic Pretty near us! Any close calls with crime?
Definitely had some shootings near me , but I've never felt personally in danger . No one has ever attempted to break in to my place or anything of that sort. I have had my car broken into at my job, which is in a much more affluent area. Go figure.
@@fransenmusic Yeah, I've heard that. No problems with our car or house either. I'm hoping it stays that way.
Wow! Great video. Too bad the article you used says “sitting along the Mississippi “. Damn dude you must really research before making a video 😂. Lame.
Sure. Just because the article has a typo means it can’t be trusted, right?
Its almost as if the crime follows a certain demographic... we got an uptick in shawnee when certain groups started to move in during covid money. WE even got our first murder in 20years 😂
Ehh…you think Covid money was enough to move people into Shawnee?
I was wondering if I would find a post about this. I'm in Shawnee and it been getting worse even before covid to about 10 years ago, but yes, it was also happening more around when you are talking about.
KC is a total dump! Even the so-called nicer areas like Brookside are crap
Thanks for commenting, even if I don't agree with your opinion. I think the areas near Brookside are very nice, but you're welcome to disagree. What are you comparing it to?
@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong San Antonio, Dallas, OKC, and Northwest Arkansas. I would have put Austin on that list until recently.
You were not hearing gun shots, you made that up.
As someone who hears gunshots weekly at our house, it’s not far fetched to hear gunshots at these neighbors. Think what you want though.
Vinyard neighborhood. = 5.9%
Blue Hills neighborhood = 10.1%
Hidden valley = 39.8%
Marlborough East = 20.5%
Blue valley = 32.4%
Now for the safeset neighborhoods:
Prairie Village 92.1%
Blue Hills Estates 88.7%
Armour Hills 88.3%
Crown center 78.9%
These are the percentages of whites that live there. This should not come as a shock to anyone, but i'm sure it will offend a few. even though they know its true.
You're free to break it down like that, but I think that's lacking nuance.
If you wanna watch a guy pointing the camera at his face the whole time while talking nonsense, this is your video. Waste of time.
Thanks for watching! Always appreciate a new viewer! Thanks for the support!
@@LivingInKansasCity-JaylennWong I didn't watch anything, just skipped through the video and saw enough BS to call it quits. Lol
Thanks for the view! Always appreciate the support when someone boosts my video by clicking even if you didn’t watch! Appreciate you! ❤️
