No, it just has stupid politicians who don't think of the welfare of the WHOLE city and decide to turn airports into trucking depots that will inundate the highway with more trucks(not that the trucks are bad; they get stuff where it needs to go). This is fine for them BECAUSE they live and work in areas that aren't going to be adversely affected by the extra traffic. This will really suck for those of us in the southern part of the city, ESPECIALLY when the new construction project begins on the Grandview Triangle! Well, I figured that since we were so far off topic, I'd get that bit of ranting and raving off my chest. Whew, I feel better now... Thanks!

KC has all the cool technical jobs of a big city without all the crap, waste overhead and headaches of a big city. I think we all agree the traffic is better than most big cities. If KC were to stay a medium sized city, that'd be ok by me! That really is what makes it such a desirable area to live in. my two cents worth... Mike
