Uninformed journalists always get Kansas City misidentified as Kansas City, Kansas when the principle downtown major city of the Kansas City metropolitan area (which straddles Kansas and Missouri) is Kansas City, Missouri and it is five times the population of secondary Kansas City, Kansas.

The metropolitan area is 14 counties in both states and if anyone says “downtown” it always refers to Kansas City, Missouri unless it is a Wyandotte County Kansas functionary referring to the downtown area of that county which is old Kansas City, Kansas which was so corrupt and broken down it had to have a city/county unified government take it over to function. I had family for four generations on both sides of the state line. State Line road was within a mile of my home growing up.

As a resident of KC, KS for all of my adult life I think your statement is reasonably fair.

Since the Unified Govt. came into being thinks have gotten better. There are still too many folks at City Hall or whatever it is called now that think they have all the answers to the city problems. Several promising developments left because of the government functionaries who wanted to tell the developer how to do his job, etc.

I’m still here, less than a mile of that State Line, on the Kansas side but not in Wyandotte County, KS (some of us used to call it “Wyandonesia” before the County government took it over, sort of for the good but mostly to steal private land and sell to NASCAR folks to build a race track for big $$$$ to put in their back pockets like politicians love to do!) now that area is still Wyandonesia but less Vietnamese who were sent in to replace blacks but now mostly FOBs (fresh over the border folks, like 2 days to 30 years!)

I’m in the area (Johnson County, KS, less than 1 mile from the State Line) that once a was “represented” by Kevin Yoder, best buds of Paul Ryan but now by a “Rachel Dolezal” look-alike ‘cept she IS 1/2 semi-white 1/2 ???, but 100% commie lezbo!
