[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]thanks for all your responses! I'm not planning on kids atm (25 rn!).

How is Philly a has been city? It seems to be gentrifying over time (less so cause of wage tax), while offering character and value that NYC has long forsaken.[/quote]

You're OP - 25 years old, no kids?  Then world is your oyster now.  Baltimore is fun and cheap for a 20-something.  I loved Canton.  But in 6-8 years, married and having kids, your priorities may drastically change.  unless you don't mind spending 30k+ per year for private school per kid when kids are school aged, you will likely move way out to the burbs and never buy an inner city row house.  Having kids without a playroom or basement is rough too.  Good luck![/quote]

People change. Places change, too. In a few years what seemed like a good idea can seem well past its prime.

Baltimore is cheaper.

Philadelphia is more like a junior-New York (but not really).

Neither place is typically where you go if you are ambitious. But both offer lots to certain people.

Think about it, especially since you have time, OP.[/quote]
