[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pros - just about everything is easier. Grocery stores are bigger and well stocked (and cheaper). Housing is (generally) more plentiful and newer. Traffic is easier. Things are generally less expensive - property taxes, kid activities, car insurance, etc.

Cons - job markets are much smaller. Can be harder to find your social scene if it's a more insular city. The weather is more extreme.

We miss the midwest and would love to go back, but our jobs are here. [/quote]

This is fairly accurate to the Detroit area where I live now.  I was a North Bethesda dweller.  The whole area is less intellectual.  The vibe is "it's better to be nice than smart".  If platitudes like that annoy you, don't move here.  Children are less aggressively pushed here (in academics, sports parents are the same everywhere).  It's a great suburban lifestyle for normies.  I tell people I left the DMV because I couldn't afford the lifestyle I wanted.  Here I can afford it with a much lower HHI that's still 90th %ile plus.  [/quote]
