Yep, I was following my now fiancee.
There are a lot of great mid-size cities out there--a hundred of them to choose from--and they're all cheap.
There's this prevailing attitude by city dwellers that living outside of NY, SF, Seattle, or <insert your tech hub here> is death, but that is an attitude borne from a lack of experience about life.
Life is sometimes great in midsize cities, and in many ways they offer more for less.

- ex_ex_nihilo 8y agoAustin is a midsize city.
- selestify 8y agoAs someone who has only ever lived in dense urban metropolitan cities, can you tell me about some of the things midsize cities offer more of?
- lr4444lr 8y agoMore apartment for your money, plentiful parking, more elbow room at restaurants, more say in civic life (if that is important to you). You can just "breathe" easier and aren't constantly "wound up" as tightly as a defense mechanism against being jostled, hustled, dealing with long waits. It's a little hard to appreciate until you're in it. Not the best if you're looking for a wider dating pool, need top flight arts and entertainment every weekend, or if you can't/don't keep a car.
