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?

Yeah, we bought our first two homes there and raised our daughters there. We left in 96.
Both won't go back now as they agree it has changed and not for the better. Like anything though, it is probably what you make of it. I heard there is tremendous amount of homeless, like a lot of metro areas. Sad.
