Have you ever lived in Kansas City? You ever even been there? Are you the authority on what a Redneck Hellhole looks like? No? Didn't think so.
How about we turn your argument around. Where do you live? One of the above cities that is so large that even their ghetto's dwarf the size of the entirety of KCMO and the cost of living is double what it is in KCMO? For the price of an entire house in Missouri I can make the downpayment for one of equal size in California. Ya, that sounds like a fun place to move to. Be in debt for a helluva lot longer in a state that is already perpetually in debt.
I can assure you it is anything but a redneck hellhole. Small sections of the town are ghetto hellholes, but what town doesn't have those? Millions of people have willingly chosen Kansas City and its surrounding metropolitan area. Overland Park, KS (one of KC's suburbs) was rated 7th best city to live in the United States in 2010. Lee's Summit, MO (another KC suburb) was rated 27th best city to live in that same year. Kansas City has its issues, but its anything some rural backwater town. It is one of the biggest transportation hubs in the country. If you have ever purchased something from across the country (including something in a store that had to be shipped there), it most likely crossed through Kansas City at one point either by rail or by truck.
Good god somebody is defensive. I live near Fort Lauderdale a few blocks from the ocean. I love where I live.
Kansas City looks like a real craphole. I can't imagine why anyone would want to go there for any reason. You sound pretty angry. Maybe you should move to a place that doesn't suck and you'll have a happier outlook on life.
