Free public restrooms and other facilities. No homeless. No pollution, clean air and skies. Massive food self sufficiency. I'm not a Kansas fan exactly but I wouldn't balk at calling it advanced in terms of quality of life.
- stonogo 3y agoThere are literally thousands of homeless people in Kansas. Maybe "food self sufficiency" refers to farming, but nearly ten percent of the state is on food stamps, and more than ten percent lives below the poverty line. And there is nowhere "no pollution" is less true than in agriculture belts: https://www.kcur.org/news/2022-03-29/as-fertilizer-pollutes-tap-water-in-small-towns-rural-kansans-pay-the-price https://www.kcur.org/news/2022-03-29/as-fertilizer-pollutes-... I believe that your quality of life is great. I also believe that is not universally true for Kansans -- and I think that these issues exist across America, and pretending you can just move to avoid them is a little childish.
