About

$900 a Month In Kansas City refers to parodies of a tweet showcasing an apartment one can rent for $900 a month in Kansas City, Missouri. While the tweet was intended to show off how affordable it is to live in Kansas City compared to other American metropolises, it became a phrasal template for memes as people copied the text on Twitter and posted various humorous locations from popular culture as the photo.
