[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I've brought up many of your points on this board and people refuse to believe there are nicer places -- better weather, less traffic, not as dense and rundown, and not as expensive. I really think people don't travel enough within the U.S. I am OK with this area mostly because I like my job but if I lose the job or decide to do something else, I'll definitely be looking to move.[/quote]

I don't agree with this. Lots of people agree. But most US cities aren't better than this. I can think of a lot of resort towns I'd rather be living in, with there being something to do. But as far as major metro areas are concerned, most are pretty much the same song outside of Manhattan.[/quote]

Better cities:  Boston, Chicago, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Seattle.  Also, Portland (both Maine and Oregon), Columbus.[/quote]

Exactly three of these don't have worse traffic. They all have worse transit options. Almost all of them have worse weather. Two are even more expensive and significantly so.

I grew up in Chicago and like Pittsburgh more than I thought. But you're driving everywhere in Pittsburgh and if you think DC has crime and public schools that left a lot to be desired I'd introduce you to Chicago, a place I love but that is not short of issues either. I love the Bay Area too but hahahahaha living there without making obscene cash.[/quote]
