A longstanding Youtube trend features urban streets which contradict the notion that we live in the richest nation in the world.
Normally this kind of stuff fits under the description of "poverty p*rn" and inspires lurid voyeurism into places that aren't really so different from any urban community in the world.
However . . .
This Kansas City clip has garnered a surprising view count and features quite a bit of decay that's merely a result of bad civic policy and deferred maintenance.
Overgrown houses and busted streets clogged by weeds dominate this KCMO clip.
In many ways, nature is taking a back so much of Kansas City's urban core.
And THAT is what stands out in this clip from our view . . . NOT the implicit shaming of people who have less cash than most and might be forced to frequent one of the lesser local convenience stores.
