Is Kansas City a block by block city?

[Eric P.]

As an out-of-stater, I've noticed that a lot of people on the Indy & St Louis forums mention that you really need to be careful in those cities - that there's a huge difference from 1 block to the next & you can easily make a bad investment by buying on the wrong block. I haven't noticed anyone saying the same thing about KC, but figured I'd ask. In KC is there also a huge difference from one block to the next or is KC not as much like that?
