It's just another large city, with the usual convenience/annoyance of any large city: things open late, big variety of shops and restaurants, lots of things within walking distance, generally good transportation, traffic sucks unless you know your way around, noisy, bums, expensive...

It all comes down to whether you can afford to live in this place and if you favor the convenience over the annoyance or not...

which cities?

but for shootings, crime was generally down last year.

Progressive goal is utopia, but result is the opposite.

As opposed to the boring, copy-paste of the same chain restaurants, stores, churches... conservative, suburbs. I let you live in your utopia and I'll keep mine any day. I'm traveling every year to Dallas and I'll shoot myself if I had to live in areas like Plano, Allen, Richardson...

I suppose it's possible some people, if given the choice, might prefer to live in Oklahoma City or Jacksonville instead of Seattle or Boston but I don't know many people like that.

Generally people who don't like "liberal cities" really just don't like cities in general. That's okay. It's not for everyone.

You like LA's transportation? Their public transit sucks and it is the most fucking annoying place to drive. I still remember the first time I went to a baseball game in LA my friends wanted to leave at 4:30 from Westwood to make an Angels game in Anaheim and I thought they were nuts until we didn't even make first pitch for the 7:30 game. :lol

Lots of great things about LA but transportation would be last on my list there. San Antonio is so fucking easy to drive in after living in LA. :lol

What I mean is that you have options. Not just buses, but also the Metrolink, for example, which is an alternative if it goes where you need to go. Same with the subway system in NYC.

Traffic has always been terrible, tbh, listed it under annoyances. That said, if you don't have to drive far and can avoid the 405, you can get around.

Forgot the train goes out to the westside now. Back when I lived out there the purple line ended at Vermont because Santa Monica didn't want all the diversity. Would have loved that trainline when I worked in downtown LA. Still took the bus because anything beats taking the 405 to the 10 in rush hour.

Yeah, it goes all the way down to downtown Santa Monica now. Frankly, if I had to drive downtown in rush hour, I would rather take Venice, Pico or Olympic... no way I'm getting into the freeway...

My commute back in the day was San Pedro to Torrance.

Western, to PCH, to Hawthorne, to Sepulveda. Freeway sucked even 30 years ago. :lol

LA public transport is ok depending on where you are. In the San fernando valley, for instance, it’s next to useless other than the one orange line bus which has a very narrow path. Near the downtown area the metro is solid

What we already knew, poor face eviction threat from covid pandemic and resulting recession.

BLACK AND HISPANIC RENTERS FACE GREATEST THREAT OF EVICTION IN PANDEMIC

The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting recession have worsened existing disparities in housing affordability. For renter households of color, already saddled with higher housing cost burdens, the pandemic delivered a devastating financial blow. Black and Hispanic renter households in particular were twice as likely as white renter households to be behind on housing payments and twice as likely to report being at risk of eviction.

The dash cam footage recovered by police shows, 38-year-old Spicuzza begging for her life – ultimately to no avail.

This, after Crew put a gun to Spicuzza’s head about 10 minutes into the ride last Thursday.

Crew told her to “keep driving,” according to the criminal complaint cited by KDKA.

Spicuzza responded by saying, “Come on, I have a family.” Crew replied, “I got a family, too, now drive.”

Spicuzza’s pleading didn’t end there. The dash cam footage shows her saying, “I’m begging you, I have four kids.”

The video ends with Crew saying, “Do what I say and everything will be all right,” KDKA reports, citing the complaint in the case.

But it wasn’t all right. Far from it.

We collected 2019 and 2020 murder data from all 50 states. (Comprehensive 2021 data is not yet available.) We pulled the data from yearly crime reports released by state governments, specifically the Departments of Justice and Safety. For states that didn’t issue state crime reports, we pulled data from reputable local news sources. To allow for comparison, we calculated the state’s per capita murder rate, the number of murders per 100,000 residents, and categorized states by their presidential vote in the 2020 election, resulting in an even 25-25 split.


We found that murder rates are, on average, 40% higher in the 25 states Donald Trump won in the last presidential election compared to those that voted for Joe Biden. In addition, murder rates in many of these red states dwarf those in blue states like New York, California, and Massachusetts. And finally, many of the states with the worst murder rates—like Mississippi, Kentucky, Alabama, South Carolina, and Arkansas—are ones that few would describe as urban. Only 2 of America’s (https://worldpopulationreview.com/us-cities) top 100 cities in population are located in these high murder rate states. And not a single one of the top 10 murder states registers in the top 15 for population density.


Whether one does or does not blame Republican leaders for high murder rates, it seems that Republican officeholders do a better job of blaming Democrats for lethal crime than actually reducing lethal crime.

Super progressive smaller college-town type of cities don't tend to be dystopian hellholes.

These type of places are both very blue and very nice and not full of creepy crawly nig-nogs. I would have included Madison Wisconsin on the list but it's been infested with nig nogs lately. Central North Carolina has great schools but forget-about-it because of the high nignog population.

I've actually only been to Connecticut once and it was a few stops along a long road trip when I was 15. Up I-95. Didn't even go back the same route; went back I-90. I remember things looking posh and hilly and expensive but nothing super impressive. I actually have spent very minimal time in the Northeast anywhere north of NYC, though I have been to Maine three times (all in childhood/teenage hood) and New Hampshire four or five times as well, most iconic moment was when I beat the NH high school chess champion at the age of 7, there in Manchester in the fall of '01. Beautiful fall foliage up there.

[Millennial_Messiah]

:lol Denton is not super progressive, and outside of a decent live local music scene, it's pretty much a shithole.

I actually lived across the street from the UNT Union (technically off campus) for 2 years after living in one of the (better) dorms on-campus for 1 year. I have that experience, not you. The area I stayed in and hung around, usually on- or just off- campus is super progressive, and so is the downtown Denton square about a mile or so east of campus, which used to be extremely lively and full of live music but I think the covid restrictions ruined it as the square is no longer complete as it was from 2013-16 at least, I visited on Christmas Eve 2021 for about 20 minutes and it really breaks my heart to see what it's become. A lot of the businesses that made the square the gem it was are now abandoned and empty, a lot of dark buildings, and some of the (old) buildings have been completely demolished and replaced by empty lots, ugly fences and construction. It's sad because it was my favorite place to go when I needed a break from campus. I lived in Denton 3 years and that just breaks my heart.

I will say that Denton outside of the UNT area, the immediate surrounding area with the college student living apartments, and the square with the live music, is much different than the collegey part where I lived which is progressive. The outer parts of Denton are much more cowboy and hick culture, but there was rarely a need to go there.

https://i.imgur.com/wv87q4A.jpg


Officially, the City of Denton has a population of 140K, with a 9% Democratic majority in vote share. It's not homogeneous though; the areas close to the university are very blue and the areas not close to the university are very red.



Yes, Vermont is beautiful. Been to Burlington several times. I’d move there except there isn’t much in terms of finance careers in Vermont.

Work from home though? Most (medium or large) companies that did work from home since March of 2020 are allowing either permanent WFH for the employees that are adjusted to WFH and have tenure working from home for the company, or at very worst hybrid system where they'll ask you to go in one week or two out of the month, with travel expenses paid or reimbursed by the company. I don't know what company you work for but you seem to be in the educated white-collar WFH-caliber tier type of work.

My best friend in Fort Worth just had a second baby and has been working from home for 2 years now, he says he'll never go "back to the office" -- 9-5 office work day for most white collar jobs is dead.

I've been completely WFH since 03/13/2020 and will never go back to the office either citing that COVID-19 has given me a permanent disability of "social anxiety" which means I have to work remotely in order to succeed. It's mostly bullshit, but, the truth is I don't miss the days of commuting in traffic literally 10 times a week, even when gas prices were reasonable.

Living in Vermont seems ideal if you can get great wifi up there to work remotely. Property taxes are low compared to New Hampshire which has high property tax and no sales tax; so if you really need to go to a Walmart or Costco to stock up in bulk, just take an hour or less drive east to your nearest NH big box store and shop where there's no sales tax.

EDIT: they actually have a Costco right by Burlington though. :lol so no need to waste all that gas to drive to south of Manchester if you need to go to a store like that.
