You're the US federal government and decide to build a new planned city for all the federal workers. Where do you build it? Give a Google maps pin. (lemmy.ca)

You want cheap, cheap, cheap, lots of room to grow, low cost of living (no extreme temps), low chance of natural disaster, etc. New airport will be built.

Political Capitol will remain in DC.

Thoughtful answer. I'm taking brand new, so at least 60 miles away from Kansas city. What do you think, Kansas or Missouri side?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Kansas would probably be cheaper. There are literally places where [they'll give you the land as long as you build a house](https://www.kansascity.com/news/business/development/article262864183.html. Admittedly, these are in tiny towns.

Maybe SW of Kansas City on the Kansas side, somewhere along I-35. Maybe somewhere around here?

On the Missouri side, I'm thinking NE of KC. Like perhaps around here. Between I-35 and I-29. The two major interstates would be on the outside of the new city, instead of how it is these days where highways go right through cities. Maybe even go closer to the Iowa border. Kinda inbetween Omaha, Des Moines, and Kansas City (like 1.5-2hrs away from each city), with (further) access to I-80 and I-70, two major east-west highways.
