The current administration moving branches out of DC and to the areas they're responsible for overseeing is EPIC. Guess they're doing this with the BLM too, booting them from DC and spreading the office types out around the shitty parts of the west, forcing them to interact with the people vs be disconnected in DC. It's high time the federal government joined the 21st century. |

People in the private sector deal with that all the time (often with no offer of a job at the new location) and no one writes news stories about it.

Kansas City is a great to place to live and about time the USDA be in the Heartland. BBQ, ag, great hunting, pretty conservative, great gun laws in KS and MO, lots of outdoor stuff, great metro area with tons to do. Those people are whining.
As to pay, while the geo pay is not as high as DC, I would be willing to bet that you can still live better than you could in the DC area. I work for a federal agency and if I left KC to a place like DC, NYC, SF, etc., even though my pay would go up a lot, my level of income would not be equal to what living in Kansas City makes. |

Other studies cite the 0.6% claim while a different article in Wikipedia on gender dysphoria states that "about 0.005% to 0.014% of people assigned* male at birth and 0.002% to 0.003% of people assigned* female at birth would be diagnosed with gender dysphoria". The real percentage probably lies somewhere in between those extremes. *Interesting choice of words for saying you were born a boy or girl like there was some sort of action that could have magically "reassigned" your gender. |

I actually don't blame them. About 20 years ago my company transferred me to KS from my beloved state of AZ - I was devastated. It only took me 18 months to find a job back in AZ. I did find out that the best point in KS is the geographical center - because from there every direction you go you are leaving!!! |

Morons. When they sell their homes in DC, their money will go sooooo much further in KC and it's environs.
And, because of the relative traffic congestion, they'll be able to live a lot further out in the sticks. Definitely a +++ in quality of life all the way around. ETA: when we were going to build the Superconducting Super Collider, I was faced, in 1993, with a similar quandary. Move 20~60 miles south of Waxahachie, Texas or continue to live in Aurora Il. ya, tough choice. moron popinjay fops. |

I live in rural southeast Kansas now, but I spent a lot of my life in Kansas City, Missouri. My parents still live there. North of the river in Platte county, very nice area. It has everything you need, lots of entertainment, but it’s still solidly conservative. Represented by Republicans on every level, it feels very middle American. Both Kansas and Missouri are GTG free states, constitutional carry in both states, no stupid gun laws. KC is still a little urban for my tastes, but I’m a hick so...
.
All told, Kansas City is a very solid town. I’m an avid outdoorsman, and Kansas and Missouri have some of the best hunting and fishing in the country. Being in the middle of America, where agriculture is so important, I think this is a great call for the USDA to move to Kansas City. |

A quick easy way of knowing if a large amount of government employees are quitting their jobs is if the house prices in the NoVa/DC area start to fall. Thats not a good thing for home prices, with that being said, I will be looking to buy in the area in the next coupe years and when the time is right, i will be looking at all the foreclosures to actually get a decent deal |
