Error in Federal representation[edit]

The section describing the federal representation of the city is incorrect. Most notably the part that says "all of Kansas City proper north of the Missouri River" is in the 5th district. Much of that region is within the 6th district. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.37.31.220 (talk) 02:47, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Racism (?) in section subtitled "Troost redlining and white flight"[edit]

In the section subtitled "Troost redlining and white flight" is the following:

"During the civil rights era the city blocked people of color from moving to homes west of Troost Avenue, causing the areas east of Troost to have one of the worst murder rates in the country."

First, I read the article linked at the conclusion of the paragraph and found no mention of this causal relationship. Perhaps the two historical facts are correlated, but to suggest that blocking POC from the west side caused more murder on the east side is at best a misunderstanding. At its worst, restated it says that when POC are living near one another they are more inclined to kill one another. 2603:9000:CC12:F699:85D0:CEF1:C0F:5894 (talk) 15:35, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
