Life OP or LS?

Chiefs Pantalones · 04-09-2016, 12:48 AM

We are about to be in the market to buy a house. My wife is leaning Lee's Summit (my parents live there, no thanks lol jk) but not sold on yet. I'm set on Overland Park.

Settle this, CP.

Lee's Summit is up and coming for sure. A lot nicer than it used to be. Overland Park is closer to downtown and the plaza. And it has Google Fiber. But it's also in Brownbakistan, so Missouri wins there.

In OP, he can see Tarbaj, the Egyptian Magician. He fills up balloons with poisonous gas and tries to get a stranglehold on the audience by threatening to break those balloons if they don't applaud.

Perhaps it's changed, but when I lived in OP there was a city tax in addition to the federal and state taxes.

LS has Google Fiber, too.

Overland park because no sales tax and google fiber. Also in Kansas so you can deal with nice people.

Weather is much better in Olathe.

Not sure what Nut is talking about, OP definitely has sales tax and its high. Lee's Summit has Google fiber too.

I've lived here for 16 years, very little crime. Our neighborhood is very quiet.

As it has grown crime has increased too, but that's simple a "duh" sort of deal. I'd put it to the door-lock test, and we've not locked our house doors "regularly" (other than when we're going on vacation or something) since 2001.

Not a long-term trend, but helpful if crime is what concerns you.

If you have to drive to the airport, Lees Summit is really far away. I can get to MCI in 37 minutes from OP.
