did you read the article? there has been a dramatic improvement in terms of satisfaction.kcmetro wrote: I would expect people would be happy to be living downtown. Otherwise they wouldn't be living there. They would have moved already. I imagine this kind of poll would find similar results just about anywhere in the KC area.
Thanks KCP.....paid my $5....can't wait for the goodie bagKCPowercat wrote: Yup. It used to be free but now it's $5 (but you get a GIFT BAG!!!) and pretty much there are 29 open house condos and various other styles of downtown living. They don't list who is open online anymore (I assume that's part of trying to get you to pay the $5)

Anybody else going? I plan to go Saturday.There are different ways to gauge happiness, and there are different environments people prefer to live in. Some people like the quiet and seclusive nature of places like Tongie or Basehor, while others enjoy the city life.trailerkid wrote: did you read the article? there has been a dramatic improvement in terms of satisfaction.
no way you can tell me people living in tongie or basehor are that happy.
Yeah, I can't image three dogs living in a loft....my boxer will just have to adjust to not having a back yard. He's kept inside during the day anyway, I'll just have to walk him more instead of just letting him out in the back yard and him doing his thing. But after 5 years of home ownership, I'm ready for something different...at least for a year or so.LenexatoKCMO wrote: Pretty sure my old building had a 35# limit but I guess the newfoundland I always encountered in the elevator just looked bigger than his weight. We also had a dude who thought it was a good idea to keep three golden retrievers in a loft.
I'm not sure exactly how it works, but I understand only the first 1500 folks get the goodie bag.KC_JAYHAWK wrote: Thanks KCP.....paid my $5....can't wait for the goodie bag
That's another option I'm considering...what's the best way to find rental homes in these areas (just drive around?). I didn't see much in craigslist...maybe I just didn't search long enough.chrizow wrote: i say rent a house in westside, columbus park, longfellow, or union hill. good for the pooch, close to downtown, and old houses are awesome. union hill in particular is dog-friendly due to union cemetery's transformation into a de facto off-leash dog park...
Yeah, I'm really surprised they don't better filter it. I really hope they don't use it as some mandate of resident opinion, since it is very unscientific. They also don't assess priorities of the issues they ask about very well.earthling wrote:Is surprising they allow anyone to take the survey, not validating if a downtown resident.
