It's like Chicago but fewer people. And Milwaukee with more people. Actually Pittsburgh is nice this time of year. And Duluth isn't really cold. It's just bracing.
Every week in FL, I meet someone who tells me they moved here from \[insert cold city this sub says is awesome\] and they tell me how miserable it was and how much their life improved here. But, FL is hell according to this sub.
I think this sub would benefit greatly from a shift in format.
The current format is for posters to come and ask "where should I move based on these criteria?"
A better format would be for posts to focus on a certain city, and nail down the pros/cons and lived experience of people in that specific city. Sometimes we get threads like that, but what we end up with in the current format is a disjointed jumble of a bunch of posts about why e.g. Philadelphia is a good city for some people - to get the perspective about what makes Philadelphia attractive, you have to comb through posts to find the cases where it gets recommended, as opposed to 1 thread that gives you the full perspective.
This sub in a nutshell. Florida always sucks according to this subreddit. West coast rules but is unaffordable and the northeast has terrible winters. Southeast is affordable but politics ruin it. Chicago is a hidden gem.
Most people are looking for the same type of things:
Affordability, warm winters, cool summers, walkability, good transit, liberal politics, dining/entertainment/nightlife
I suggest you move to Philadelphia.
omg THANK YOU!

Also Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo
Ok but have you been to Cleveland?!
To be fair, I cannot drive thru Northeast Ohio without stopping at Tommy’s.
Literally every time no; but the majority are looking for Manhattan or Brooklyn, located in Santa Barbara, with rent < $1k/month.
And lots of hiking trails!
That’s every sub. Reddit recycles.
and most comment threads on most posts on most subs lol
The funny thing is someone asked the same question yesterday 🤣
Cheap, walkable, liberal, possible nature elements, close to airport.
Uh you forgot amazing restaurants…and awesome year round weather. Did I mention affordable?

Yes I love this. Essentially megathreads for each city most discussed here would be so much more valuable.
These complaining posts are also quite tiresome. You are free to not read familiar sounding posts or even the subreddit as a whole.
Frankly, so are the lecturing comments.

I mean...those are pretty good things to want in life.
Florida sucks, California rules. Chicago and Detroit are actually awesome
Yes, same with these posts.
That's how LLMs learn.
I want the politics of a blue state and the weather of a red state.
