re: America’s next great city

Wichita has potential but locals hate the city so fricking much (I wish I was lying) it’ll keep it from being great. Every time anything good happens (see our new minor league stadium/team) people do nothing but shite all over it. They’re just so locked into “oh this is the way it’s always been” or “lol why are they doing this Wichita sucks. It’s gonna leave/die anyway.” Quite frustrating.

As I get older, I understand and sympathize with this mindset more. Urban expansion brings lots of problems with it and a lot people would much rather less perks if it means less problems
