Actually, Jim, we did look at about 5 houses close to Prospect, although I can't remember exactly which streets they were on. You have a legitimate point there, although the condition of the houses and the facts that neither of us really want to live in a city area were also a large part of the problem. What concerns me when I think about it is whether or not the people there were acting/appeared hostile, or if that's the image I had of them in my mind. Honestly, I don't think I would get out of my car to find out. This is a complex problem, and I think you're right, at least to some degree, that it's not addressed because of the difficulty of it.
Lots of good points from lots of different people with varied opinions on this. It's nice to see some political/social discussion that remains respectful and friendly. ;)
By the way, the houses we're looking at with our realtor on Saturday are all in Independence, and all have some space between houses, i.e. yards and the neighbors are more than 2 feet away. I felt...clausterphobic, for lack of a better word, looking at the houses in the actualy city of KC.
