I'm tired of living in my current city (KCMO) and really want to move somewhere else but I have no idea what sounds cool. I am lucky enough to be in a very in demand healthcare field that I can find a job in pretty much anywhere in the US sooooo what places have you enjoyed living in? Which ones suck and should be avoided?

    avoid unless you make decent money. The culture is really weird here

    This guy Bostons. Unless you or you and a partner are clearing six figures, you're gonna have roommate(s) to live in arms reach of Boston/reasonably T accessible. The other half of that, is depending on what you do, it can be very easy to clear six figures. Tech, science, healthcare are all good fields here (I've never lived in a place with a choice of world-class hospitals before).

    Every place that was cool 10+ years ago kinda sucks and is either already gentrified or well on the way there.

    Overall, I enjoy it here, but you definitely can't miss how much it honestly sucks. Though, I imagine most "well-meaning" lib cities have the same issues. Expensive, lacking in social services, crumbling infrastructure.

    Cycling Infrastructure is growing and getting better.

      yeah, I will most likely always have roommates unless I miraculously find another job, or move in with a partner into a 1 bedroom or something.

      T is hit or miss depending on what part of town you're in.

      I am glad that some of the cycling stuff is better, but the drivers are wack and I have to pay so much attention to avoid getting destroyed.

        I have to pay so much attention to avoid getting destroyed.

        In my experience, that doesn't even matter. I got my shit wrecked in lower Allston two years ago
