Whatever you do, do _not_ say this within earshot of Columbus natives.

Columbus was never a small hick town. It was always the world's largest suburb.
- Spivak 5y ago> It was always the world's largest suburb. You're not wrong but talking to people from other major metros you would think Columbus is like one step up from "rural small town." I know I'm gassing up Columbus a lot in this thread but for real if you haven't experienced day-to-day here it's actually a kinda novel city design -- 100% was accidental but the city planners are leaning into it and the results are great. Everything is 20 minutes or less by car. So much green space, lots of parks, small businesses aren't crushed by high rents, housing is cheap, connected pockets of local walkable areas with parking garages on the outskits. Unless you actually live in the suburbs it's a far cry from blandly pleasant perfectly manicured lawns and identical all-american homes.
