I personally would much rather live in KC than Chicago. But I have no great wish to live in either of those cities.
As for the fountains, KCMO has more working fountains than any city in the world. Rome has more fountains, but many of them are ancient and do not work anymore.
St. Louis has (or had; it has been a while since I have seen either one) a better zoo than KC. And I can tell you where to get good pizza in Columbia, MO, if that is ever of use to you.
I have traveled a good deal in the U.S., and think that you are lucky, relatively speaking, to be moving to KC. I can understand one liking Madison, Wisconsin, or New Orleans, LA, but otherwise, one would have to go near one of the coasts to live in a better city. (Wilderness areas, though, are another matter, and one might prefer some remote area in the Rockies to a city, depending on one's temperament.)
Of course, there are those who would disagree with me. But there are always people who are wrong about things.
