#1 city in the world to travel and work remotely
 

is Kansas City, MO.

Figured it would be Belize

Maybe Icelandair will bring back a flight with the new terminal coming?

Why would you live in KC with its shitty weather if you could work remotely?

Because it is home to the world's best football team-The Kansas City Chiefs. Duh!

Yeah I call BS. They are putting up 10-30 story condo’s on every block to house all the gen-z that will work remotely down here. Why are they moving? No state tax and the weather, beaches.

I was paying 6% sales tax in Missouri. Now, zero. They are moving from NY or Cali, those tax savings go up considerably.

Missouri is 38th in tax burden, Florida is 45

Whatever slight amount you’re paying on taxes, is easily offset by the higher cost of living. Not that you don’t get weather benefits, just that economically there’s no free lunch

This came out like a year ago

Another reason Im really worried about the suburban housing market in about 10 years. Im not sure who will fill tbese homes. We finally had our first population decline as a country last year. And genz does not value living in the suburbs or having a family quite like millenials and gen x. They are also having less children so a single family home is not as saught after.

Sounds like a solution to homelessness might present itself. Imagine insane, drug-addicted dirtballs occupying the suburbs where soccer moms and khaki pants were once the norm.

When did you come out

They misspelled Belize

There's no way KC is 1st. That would put Iowa in the top 10 easily since we have basically the same weather with a similar tax burden and lower COL.

There's a reason states in the upper midwest routinely rank as some of the most depressed in the nation.

Don't think I'd agree there.

Property taxes are insane up there compared to here and this area really hasn't had much of a winter.

In college. Went to a club with friends met a strong athletic dude got black out drunk and went home with him. Friends couldn't find me for a few days cuz we was ****ing

The only nice thing about KC is how affordable it is. The day that changes is the day I move. It sucks there's people actively trying to make it a more expensive city

During football season, yes. :toast:

I assume because it's cheap compared to other big cities.

Sure, I'd love to live in Miami and San Diego, work remotely, and bang beach girls every day. That costs too much money though.

KC is the only place in the US in the top 10. That's insane to me.

That’s pretty cool. I’m an aspiring digital nomad and I would absolutely live in KC during the fall and then split for warmer weather after football season.

Belize me, I did too. :(

Brisbane Australia is a pretty cool city. The Gold Coast is awesome, tons of hot Aussie chicks sunbathing topless and plenty of nightclubs.

Adelaide is an under the radar city. Very much a college town, a little more artsy and older than some of the other major cities. Lot and lots to do.

Was there in 1987 when I spent a month in Australia and 2 weeks in New Zealand. Loved it. Also did Perth and Rottnest Island, Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef, Alice Springs and Ayers Rock, Sydney with wineries / beaches , Melbourne and the cricket grounds. Did the fairy penguins tour and saw quokkas on Rottnest.

Yep, all those condos for the gen-x are going up near the entertainment districts. They have no interest in suburbia. Most going up are rental properties. Gen-z will pay a higher % of their income in rent than previous ones.

Where does KC rank in terms of cities with the hottest women under 200 lbs?

Better than Milwaukee.

So 2nd to last

Consult xztop123

I feel like they're using the same algorithm as PFF here


Hawaii, if you check the tape, actually ranks low on Expected Beaches

Why the KC shade in this thread? I ****ing love living here! Having 4 seasons kicks ass. You pussies need to get better jackets or better jobs or something.

The Europeans are gonna be disappointed when they get to Le Taxitour in Europa at WOF. Probably a slower working vacation than they're looking for.

These lists are often silly but Kansas City is a great place to live and trending upward I love it here. We need to do better with public transportation and forming a city that is made for people instead of cars but some good progress on that front as well.

New airport terminal opens up in a few weeks looks great.

Was wondering that too. I moved away 40 years ago but I'm thinking about moving back to be close to my mom. Other than cloudy cold winters like most of the non coastal country and crime similar to other large metros, what's so terrible about KC?

Shitty weather?

I love our weather here.

I can't picture you as someone who rides a bike or walks

You know how the thread is going when you see BWillie and BRC dropping their infinite knowledge on the rest of us.

Walk a lot and love it. Usually do not have to use my car on my days off which is one of the best parts of my location. A lot of people who have a lot of things to say about me on this board have never looked at or pictured me at all which is just fine.

I've met u sweetheart

Freezing 1/2 the year. No thanks. Been there done that.

I remember...you also read this board. Tales of my size are wildly exaggerated.

Did you guys know St Pete has the best beaches in the world?

I was talking about a different size

Yeah got offered a job there didn't pay good and it's more expensive down there. Sucks would have been nice to never see snow

deodorant stick?

Several months into it myself (domestically, for now)... PM me if you have any questions on finding places to live, working remote, etc.

Be about that life. Move to FloriCaliZona already so you can tell us Midwest hicks how much better it is

Maybe four months of the year it’s freezing, six months if you’re a pussy.

LMAO

I would rather be launched into the deadly vacuum of outer space than live in Florida.

You must want a basement then?

And where the longest dick lives on ChiefsPlanet’s beloved patriarch.

Makes sense that it’s on a list like this but of course I have no knowledge on how it compares to the rest. Seems a lot of issues people from bigger cities might have with it are actually the reasons it tops the list.

Every American city I have visited has a pretty cool charm. Unless it is in Ohio. Honestly **** all of Ohio.

DO NOT GO TO PERTH ROFL

It's.... not ideal.

Every state thinks they have the worst drivers, but the only true answer is Florida. It's a ****ing death trap.

Everything is moist. Rinse off a dish and leave it sitting overnight.... yeah, it'll still be wet the next morning. Don't even think about hanging wet clothes, they'll be wet 3 days later.

70° inside sounds amazing, right? No heat or A/C needed? Nah... it'll get stuffy as hell in your house, so you gotta run either the heat or A/C... or maybe just alternate between the two throughout the day to push the humidity down to tolerable 60-70% range.

Ever been camping when it's ****ing cold outside and you're cold-sweating in your sleeping bag, and have to decide if you're better off freezing to death or sweating to death? Yeah, welcome to bedtime in Florida.

Go workout at 6am and while it's 60° outside, it's 75° inside at 95% humidity with no air movement at all.

And don't forget the mosquitoes. In January, when you're enjoying that 70° 85% humidity day outside, before heading to the beach with 4 million other people. Or the cockroaches that will crawl out of your drain or from behind the stove or wander into your living room completely unannounced.

And this is just January/February, two of the 3 nicer months of the year.

Everything you said there reminds me of living in Houston. Warm weather south is definitely overrated climate wise.

Would you recommend Broome instead?

Nebraska drivers are the worst absolute ****ing idiots

Unsubscribe on every single bit of this.

There are a lot of places that are not Kansas City I would be perfectly happy to call home but Florida is literally terrible.

Hard to see out of them tractors bud. Give ‘em a break

All of this is completely offset by the high quality people who call the sunshine state thier home. Good, wholesome, salt of the earth folks that would give you the shirt off of their backs right before they get really redneck drunk and stab you for wearing their shirt.

I don't know, man. I lived in LA most of my life then moved away about ten years ago. Went back for a few days last year and man -- the freeways. I've never seen such speeding on crowded freeways.

People (mostly in BMWs and Porsches or Range Rovers, but also in complete shit cars like Camrys or Datsuns) weaving in and out of lanes going ridiculously faster than the pace of traffic.

Probably just due to it is so hard to get around there, everyone is in a hurry or just thinks they are more important than everyone else.

I never noticed until I went away and came back.

80 degrees in December is pretty damn great tho :D

BEP also lives there. You know it’s gotta be a hellhole

Tell me about it. I live in the same county.

I hear you guys can sit in traffic for hours. I get anxious sitting there 30 mins on I-35 **** that

KC’s definitely a cool city to live in, and there’s much more to do downtown than there used to be when I grew up there. I’m not a big fan of the cold weather, but some people love that stuff and hate hot weather. I guess it really depends what you are into.

Did u f**k?

LA is one of the most overrated areas Ive ever been to.

Can u see the Busch from the window?

Florida combines the worst drivers of every region.

Need to constantly pass on the right, like Nebraska/Missouri/Kansas/etc.? Yes.

Need to constantly be prepared for people driving 20+mph over the speed limit like California/Arizona/Atlanta/etc.? Yes.

Need to be be prepared for people driving 10mph or more under the speed limit for no goddamn reason? Yes.

And I guarantee you've never seen so many U-turns before... I think those are called "Florida lefts".

One new phenomenon on I-75 is with 3 lanes of highway, people generally stay out of the far right lane due to all the trucks, so you'll see cars driving along at 10 under the speed limit in the middle lane.... so it clogs up all 3 lanes while people try to merge into left lane. Then when they can spring a leak, they'll spread like ants to the left and right of the middle car and you'll see a gap of like a quarter mile just in the middle lane.... until approaching the next car going 10 under in the middle lane, getting passed by trucks to the right and a line of cars to the left. So, it could be 10 o'clock at night and you'll still see this cluster**** of traffic, followed by completely wide open road with people speeding along at 90-95mph, followed by dealing with another couple dumb****s poking by at 60mph.

And I haven't even visited Orlando in 20+ years... combine all that with a billion tourists who have no ****ing clue where the hell they're going, mingling with locals who hate all the ****ing tourists.

If it would help, I could let you speak to the manager of Florida.

I'd chip in.

Plot twist: The manager of Florida is a Super Karen, the final boss of all the Florida Karens.

...in the last couple of years, I've been to Co, Tx and Ok for work.

Drivers suck EVERYWHERE.

We were going to plan a trip with their nonstop to Iceland. What a great deal that was. I sure hope they reconsider coming back to KCI.

It was freaking cold and wet this December. It's beautiful now though.


Also the key to surviving LA is live and work in the same area.




Nah the only time that ever happens is if you happen to get caught driving during two specific occasions. 1) The President is in town, any president. 2) You ****ed up and tried to drive home during the marathon.

Other than that it's an hour max unless you live in a stupid area. Like living in Long Beach and working in Pasadena or something.

LA is definitely one city you need to work remotely.

You ornery scamp you.

In the entire world? KC?

I love Kansas City...but yea. LMAO

I don't think people understand the metrics for this list.



... and the weather? Seasons are important to mental happiness. Some of the most miserable people on the planet live in the tropics all year long. I really don't blame them though. Year long swamp ass would piss me off as well.
