I lived in Olathe and I’ve lived in Wichita. Comparing a metro with 2.5 million people to one with 650k is asinine. Both metros have their pros and cons. Someone said it earlier, if your a single, 20 something living in Wichita, your entertainment options, that are conducive to your young interests, are limited. If you’re a family starting out, want affordable living and family oriented activities, Wichita for its size is pretty accommodating. Wichita now, is not the Wichita of the late 80s and 90s.
Both places have their $hit-hole areas. You’re lying to yourself if you believe KC is immune and free of societal riff-raff and degenerate hotspots. I reside in Wichita and enjoyed my time in Olathe. If I were to move to a bigger city, KC would be it. I refer to it as a small ‘big city’. KC still has Midwest values and charm. Can’t we all just get along?
