Missouri Is One of the Worst States to Live in This Year
click to enlarge We love to brag about our city, whether it's praise for our frozen custard, appreciation for our parks or a news flash about our red-hot real estate market. But no place is perfect - and, according to a recent study, our home state leaves much to be desired.

Kansas City Sausage Fest

As you would expect of any organization that is related to NBC, the criteria used to rate states as good/bad to live in are biased left. Missouri did not expand Medicaid, so it's marked down for that - but if it discourages those who are dependent on government largess from moving to the state, most of us would give that a plus not a minus. Missouri is also tagged for not having a lay/lesbo discrimination law; which is OK with the vast majority of Missourians. All in all, I'd say #5 on the unlivable scale is pretty good, but with some hard work, Missourians may be able to move up to #4 or even #3 by next year. Let's work together on this!

A hyperloop from KC to St Louis?
ReplyDeleteThis in a state that can't fund education or even raise enough revenue to come close to fixing the highway system it already has?
Greitens just cut the state budget by around $500 million.
How about some folks who actually work to make things work instead of the endless parade of dreamers and self-serving "developers" who offer no end to grandiose and completely impractical projects, and all at other people's expense?
This sounds like another opportunity created for some consultants to get paid around $500K to study it.
