some ppl's quality of life is defined by being able to buy a bigger mcmansion. Other people likes the ability to reconnect with nature.

The point I was trying to make is that your belief that access to the mountains is actually the most important thing for lots of people (especially the software developer type) is absurd.

If you're living in a city, your day-to-day lifestyle is going to be pretty much the same anywhere in the US, or really anywhere in the developed world.

Yes, that includes Kansas City.

Kansas City is not actually in Kansas. Kansas is the state named after its neighbor's second-best city.
