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?
was also born in the bay....what you're saying is very accurate. it's hard to interact with the city now and it feels kinda painful. the industrial supremacy of tech also makes the city seem more lost and gentrified than places like new york. the only black people i see are homeless, yelling at people on the bart, drugged out, etc. its incredibly depressing. its also extra insulting though because the tech west coast people always have to do weird infantile justifications of their souless pillaging of the city, giving endless lip service to "a great work/life balance"; "i can work remotely while im hiking" ; "why live fast when you can just slow down" and other phrases that just reveal how disconnected they are and how much theyre masking that disconnected as some simple life philosophy accessible to everyone.
I cant really think of any other city that is as down bad as SF. (i assume places like seattle have been gutted to and also present that tech supremacy thing but i dont really know that much about seattle)
