> I'd totally move back for the right opportunity This. I just think it's a city where "if you build it they will come". I agree that NYC and DC have more opportunity, but they also are an order of magnitude more expensive. Affordability, proximity, and culture would be Philly's main selling point imo.

That's true, but if we're talking about living in Philly proper in areas where other young, single people would want to live, it isn't cheap either. If you're me, you'd probably be happy that you could get a fairly nice place in a good neighborhood like Girard Estate for 350k because I have a wife and kid and don't care that I live on 20th and Porter with nothing to do at night. In fact, that's exactly what I'd do if I moved back. Ironically, my folks are on a side street near East Passyunk, where people would pay 100k more. But they've had that place since the 70's when it was all older Italians like them.
