Kansas City's Declining Neighborhoods - Loma Vista West



This was a neighborhood of mostly ranch-style homes- built in the late 1950's.




Occupied by the homes' owners- the 'hood began declining in the 1990's when HUD began acquiring properties.


Now probably more than half the homes here are rentals- as in evidence by the crap people leave at the curb when they move out. Yards are unmowed- snow unshovelled- etc..



This crap has been by the curb of this empty house on the southeast corner of 86th Street and Winchester for nearly 2 weeks now.

I'm calling the KC-MO Action Center about it this morning to see what the city will do about the trash these people left behind.



It's just another sign of the times where people seem to have no respect for themselves or others- and once-nice neighborhoods in KC-MO go to hell on the empty words of so much politician lip-service.
