Since you're working in KC, you're stuck with the 1% earnings tax as others have said. KCMO 'could' have had the Speedway and all of the other stuff associated with it (i.e. Cabelas, etc.), but passed on it....and all the tax dollars went to KCK.
IMHO opinion, live north of the river, either in Platte or Play County. If you live near I-29 and Barry Road (Platte County) in KC, you're close to all kinds of places to eat and shop, just a few minutes from KCI and not too far from downtown. If at some point you're able to switch jobs and get out of the city limits of KCMO, there are alot of nice places to live that are not technically in KC, but right near everything, so you'll be free of giving up 1% of your paycheck....plus get BETTER services (i.e. better snow removal, actual/faster police response, etc.).
