Austin is expensive af and not equal to any of the other cities in terms of culture

As an nyc native who moved to Dallas I’d pick NYC if you’re an extrovert and Seattle if you’re introvert

Chicago is NYC-lite and more affordable

how are the winters in chicago?

OP must be rich, all four of those places expensive af

Why do you love the deep cities so much?

Appalling

thoughts on moving to Florida?

one of the dumbest decisions you could possibly make right now

why ?

when insurance companies are pulling out of a state that tells you everything you need to know

imo

link to this? haven't heard about this

Bro idk how people can think about just moving to a city like NYC or San Fran without a job lined up and a guaranteed place to live during a national housing crisis. Especially without connections in the city you're moving to, it's gonna be really hard to stay there

seattle

heres reports from ppl on the ground abt how f***ed insurance as a whole in fl is reddit.com/r/florida/comments/17x6hwg/so_how_bad_is_the_insurance_crisis

and heres some proper reports. its a combo of f***ed laws and a state that gets decimated by hurricanes every year. and the storms are only getting worse as there is more energy in the atmosphere due to human activity

I also think FL is just a s***ty place to exist as a human. The summers are unbearable imo, and I grew up in a fckn desert. But that unrelenting wet heat is soul crushing. and i see posts from the florida sub about people saying the heat right now is worse than they ever remember, and it aint even proper summer yet

Note that insurance companies also pulling out of places in CA as well due to a combo of fire risk and regulatory struggles. whole world in a handbasket and allat

sheesh, thanks for this. idk where to move really. wanted to be closer to family, but not sure now.

i need to move somewhere, but just don't know where

i got a job that's work from home permanently, but looking to move. don't like where I live now and don't know where to go

ey no problem man. is ur fam in fl? could be that when you run the cost/benefit a***ysis on it that it makes the most sense to move as close to them as possible, idk. im not really close with my fam like that haha

yeah, they're all almost there.

i don't know where to relocate rn and i don't have any close ties to where i live/job market isn't great rn, so i was thinking of just moving close to them to feel better

DC

a strong community prolly the most important thing to have rn, i'll just say that much. hope you come to a decision that brings you happiness brother

thanks man

If you can work from home and live in another state thats cool

I've never been but Philly and Chicago are probs the best big US cities that aren't super expensive yet

Come to NJ @op

isn't it expensive? where in NJ?
