Anyone familiar with the Cincinatti Metro area? I have an opportunity to potentially move there and would really appreciate any tips y'all might have.
Things I'm trying to keep in mind:
- relatively close to some type of left organizing (<30 min drive). There might be a local DSA or PSL chapter, not sure how active though
- diversity
- dog friendly
- walkable/bike able for errands / parks / poi
- public transportation
- safe to have gender bending presentation in the neighborhood
I've heard good things about:
- Oakley
- Covington
- Bellevue
- Hyde Park
- Newport
- Silverton
- a few others whose names aren't coming to mind
The KY side seems more outwardly conservative (some pockets of pride flags tho) but is also significantly less expensive
Any areas that yall would recommend looking at?
There's a good of southwest Ohio PSL branch! I'm on the opposite side of the state but I coordinate with them on statewide stuff now and then.
The coolest area of Cincinnati is pretty undeniably Over The Rhine, but it's undergoing intense gentrification right now.
That's awesome to hear! From skimming Facebook posts it seems like the SW Ohio PSL branch does a lot in Dayton, OH. Is that the case in your experience?
Yeah, they're active in both areas
