This is incredibly disingenuous I don't know whether to laugh or fucking cry.
We are talking about Kansas City here! A city that has long since been a shadow of its former self -- once a major US hub facilitating cross-statewide trade -- now a landscape of empty derelict factories and office buildings.
At least it was before the City Planners (read: OMG! The Government) did something about it.
For the last few years there has been a huge concerted effect to revive Kansas City and save it from a fate of "Detroitism". Is that so bad? No, it isn't, unless you're of the belief that all of America's cities' outside of LA/NYC should just "suck it up and deal with it" and be the subject of the next "Ruin Porn" hipster tumblr blog.
We are now starting to see some the fruits of these efforts: Sprint Center (Stadium), Kaufmann Center for the Performing Arts and many many other revitalization projects, including Google Fiber.
