We hear the jokes, yes, but
Cleveland:
-Has a metro
-Has a good BRT system
-Has a great history of manufacturing and industry
-Never fully got rid of their streetcars and converted the last two lines to light rail
-Has what looks to be pretty affordable housing
-Has this dope-ass arcade and many other cool architectural features
Cleveland was once a very large industrial powerhouse, and capitalist disinvestment in the city has devastated some parts of it to a huge degree. That cannot be overlooked. But the city has now become a smaller city with big-city features and history. Big shoutout to Cleveland! Go check out https://hexbear.net/c/cleveland@midwest.social for more Cleveland content.

You will respect Cleveland in the coming years.
One of my favorite fun facts is that Cleveland was founded as part of Connecticut https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland#Establishment
Well maybe not so fun that they were setting up settlements that far west, but interesting anyway
I'm a proud af Clevelander. You are right on all counts. What people don't know is that Cleveland is a city of great, characterful neighborhoods and inner ring suburbs.
