Springs vs Kansas City -which is better?

Longtime lurker here, Crime rate is something to consider -Springs sits at 22.0 per 100K. The median home value here is around $890,000, which is pretty steep. Average temperature is around 53--F, so expect cold winters. The unemployment rate is 1.4%, which is pretty low. Poverty rate is 9.7%, which is pretty low. The weather takes some getting used to. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

Pros:
- Growing food scene
- Walkable downtown
- Plenty of shopping options

Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Limited public transit
- Sprawl everywhere
- Homelessness issues downtown

The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 4-bedroom. I genuinely enjoy living here. Compared to Tampa it's pretty good.
