I moved to a medium-sized city primarily because I prefer being in a medium/large city. I've always worked remotely, so I could have stayed in my small town with a very cheap cost-of-living.
Reasons I moved:
- restaurants
- bars
- concerts
- larger dating pool
- greater LGBTQ acceptance
- close proximity to international airport
- can walk almost everywhere
- I find most american suburbs to be depressing
So, the virus has wiped most of those amenities out. Living in the city is a lot less fun now.
- eli_gottlieb 6y agoOk, so what I'm getting from the extended responses to this thread is that I need to get the hell out of Boston, because I've just been doing it wrong for all of my late 20s and into my 30s.
- clairegraham 6y agoIf you don't feel you're getting those things in Boston, I would consider it. I'm in Denver, which is somewhat similar to Boston in size, and Denver definitely is not a 24/7 city like NYC. But I'm OK with that. I grew up on the east coast and I do prefer the culture of the western states more. I am in my mid 30's and moved here about five years ago and I wish I had done it in my 20s. I hope you find a place you can enjoy!
