[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess this isn't a city stereotype as much as a reason for moving stereotype -- I feel like I have known a number of people who have left NYC and DC for professional and COL reasons. I.E. there's tons of competition for the best jobs in those markets in my industry, but if you can find yourself a gig in Richmond or Memphis or a bigger city like Dallas, you will command a 250k+ salary and benefit from a lower COL. They all moved for COL and are THRILLED with how far their money goes, not having to pay for private school, huge homes/cars etc. Yet they ALL seem to miss the busy, crazy, hectic, and rude-ness of NYC and DC. And this includes people who have made/tried to make a community in their new city. Sometimes it is - grass is always greener. And yet moving back doesn't seem like a viable option either bc they know a relative paycut isn't financially a great move either.[/quote]

The community thing is tough. It's very hard to make connections in cities like Memphis or Richmond or Dallas or Minneapolis if you're not from there or didn't go to school there. [/quote]
