In France, however, the real Paris actually has culture and nightlife, and--if you're good at squeezing through people--it's easy to get from place to place. KC practically sabotages its own nightlife by letting each "new big thing" murder the old big thing in its sleep, which yes, is part of the crappy transportation provided for getting across a place that's spread wider than a hooker's legs. Speaking of which, we throw away a lot of money that could be going toward fixing the problem in much more productive ways. ...And I only rip Kansas City a new one because I care and want it to grow up to be something decent.

Please elaborate (unless you're just talking about the open liquor policy at the P&L, then... eh).
I don't get the whole sprawl argument... it's not like it takes forever to get around. I'd hear people in Omaha say something like "it's great, you can get anywhere in Omaha in about 20 minutes" and then say KC has too much sprawl... uh, it really doesn't take more than 20-30 minutes to get anywhere here, either. And as far as a big city like Chicago, you're just substituting the 20-30 minute drive for sitting in a subway for 20-30+ minutes (not including the waiting and walking)... and if you work downtown and live in the suburbs it's probably more like an hour+.
