I liked a lot of north KC as well though. Parkville is pretty cool. I loved KC, miss it a lot. Only 3 hours away now, so still get up there a lot. |

I relocated from KC to Chicago 3+ years ago for my wife's career. I'm 100% virtual in my career, and she had a choice of LA or Chicago. We chose Chicago as the salary differential for the LA position didn't offset the cost of living differential. There are days I hope Cthulhu would rise from Lake Michigan and lay waste to the city and then others where I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
While I love KC, I wish I would've relocated sooner in life. Not having kids to raise, I probably stayed way longer than I should have. My only complaint about Chicago is the political environment. I can't imagine how much greater it would've been to live here when I was carefree enough not to even pay attention to such things. |

Yeah, I've loved every trip I've made to Chicago. Of course I'm just visiting I guess.
Really enjoy the city. |

But he had property there, he didn't live there. Unfortunately most people have to live in populated areas because of jobs, it's just the nature of the beast. That being said, if I had the opportunity to open a dive shop somewhere on the mediterranean coast, I might suck it up and deal with the sand...

I'd say 2018 Liberty was 2001 Lee's Summit when we built our house; still very country, but the drive into my office downtown (not that I go there very often anymore!!!), was only 30 minutes.

They sold off the back two lots about 25 years ago as the house was on the biggest lot in the development.

Yeah, my stompingrounds is near Gualala (the Gualala river which is right at the border beween sonoma county and mendocino county where the Gualala river spills into the ocean). A little south of the actual town of mendocino. Your skipper has fine taste in property......thats some amazing country.

It does suck that people are being forced out due to high costs. I hope people hang on a couple years because I feel like there will be a pretty major housing market correction in the next few years and the opportunity to buy something more reasonable will come around again...Like it did in 2009-2011 and also early in the 2000's and around 96-98. I hope so anyway, I reallly REALLY want an apple orchard....LOL..and I will have to wait till the current bubble bursts to get one. But there will be a burst, mark my words. If you ever end up visiting please reach out I can at least PM you a list of recommendations that suit your interest.

The skipper was from CA, his family dated back to pre-gold rush days in Cali, so the property had been in his family for generations and as he said it, when he shit in the woods, he was shitting on his retirement. Ha... But he learned to shoot up in them-there hills, and he was a darn fine shot... All in the 80s so Cali hadn't gone nuts (yet). And no, we didn't add booze to the shooting, that we were kinda careful about...

I was 17 and didn't have a choice.
Don't think Canada takes disabled Americans, otherwise my ass would be up there. |
