This video had me laughing a bit. I live in Kansas City and will fully admit it's not a model for anything good. But the shot of a Home Depot parking lot off of the Grandview Triangle as an example of my city? It's bogus. I live in a completely walkable neighborhood in Kansas City that is, essentially, the kind of suburb this video claims to support. I can walk to a grocery store, several bars, coffee shops, restaurants, a library. All in five minutes. All from my 1930s construction home with a back yard and a two car garage.

One thing that guy generally complements is interwar construction. Maybe a failing on his part for not recognizing it in KC, a probably a question of what portion of KC is from that time period and what portion is as pictured.
