if money was no object, which urban city would you move to without the urban crime?
    #23735836 - 10/14/16 12:27 AM (7 years, 3 months ago)

Generally a lot of the east coast cities have that stereotypical urban setting and crime that goes along with it. So would a place like Anchorage or Fargo be the options compared to places like Chicago or Philadelphia? Or would you look down south especially the southwest?

Good question. IDK. Are there any big cities that aren't filled with crime? I'm from Chicago, and everyone isn't getting killed everywhere. It's just certain areas. I've heard good things about Anchorage and Fargo, but they aren't actually big cities, and it's cold enough here. I don't need to go way colder.  I did try 5-6 months in St. Paul MN. Really nice place, impressed me in many ways. But 40 something inches of snow on Halloween.

I heard condos in Chicago are cheaper than other places and you get more for your money.

Condos in Chicago are not cheap, except in high violent crime areas. People in Chicago have taken out mortgages to buy parking spaces.

    They are cheaper than the super expensive places:S.F. NYC. etc.

yes, that's what I meant. Chicago is cheaper for its type of city, they say it's because it's in the midwest.

I wonder if a Trump win would mean inner cities are about to get cleaned up or made much worse?

Curious if which mid western cities are worth looking into? Chicago or Detroit? I think Detroit seem to have more "flavor" than Chicago. I could be wrong and this is opinion based.

Detroit is unfortunately one of the most fucked up cities. The median housing value is absurdly low (which sounds good, but there are reasons for that). Much of the city has no police patrolling or snow plowing, and other standard city services. There aren't enough people there to bother with things like that. Even decades ago Detroit was fucked up. The buildings that were burnt during the riots of the late 60's early 70's were never rebuilt or even torn down.

      In the mid 70's during the gas shortage, Japan started importing good small cars, and Detroit built really bad small cars. That was the biggest reason Detroit went down the tubes.  There was no market for the bigger or more powerful cars that generate a profit. And labor costs were super high in the American Auto industry because when everybody was getting rich they had no problem sharing the wealth with the union workers. They wanted labor stability and long contracts. When things went bad the labor costs were killing them. So when the U.S. started figuring out how to make decent small cars they moved the plants to low wage, nonunion states because it was the only way to make a profit. Being a city as large as Detroit and being mainly based on one industry is a dangerous proposition. Parts of Pennsylvania suffered as well when the steel industry collapsed.

    So you don't want to move to Detroit. Some of the suburbs are nice.

    Chicago is a mixed bag. Most of the downtown and lakefront are beautiful, and there are great museums,  but it's expensive to live anywhere nice. There are a lot of "medium" areas, but parking is ridiculous, so if your not going to take a cab everywhere, you're left with public transportation, which is OK during the right hours on the right routes. Being a super latenight person I don't like Chicago public transit too much. The thing  about Chicago is you have to know where you're going. Drive 3 blocks the wrong way, or get on the wrong train or bus, and the best case scenario is you'll just be scared shitless.

    Since you already mentioned smaller cities you might like a bigger college town, like Madison WI or something.

Suburbs of Detroit like Dearborn, which I hear is a popular suburb.

I would assume Fargo, ND would still be considered the midwest?

Surely if you're worried about crime, moving out of the USA would be your first priority?

I would stay her in the woods, even if it meant giving up the "money is not an object" ideal. Fuck cities.

St. Paul/MPLS has been my favorite place to live in the US. Just invest in a nice warm jacket that will last for years. Public transportation is a very viable method of primary transport, with buses running every 10 minutes everywhere in the cities, and usually at least one or two every hour (more during rush hours) that go to all the suburbs, even the ones that are like 40 minutes out in the sticks.

In the summer, the weather is pretty consistently beautiful. Doesn't really go above 90 very often, so it's not as oppressively hot as many places farther south. Plus, there is an extensive greenway/trail system, as well as very well maintained parks, gardens, and all the lakes. A bike will take you anywhere, and drivers actually acknowledge you and don't just assume you're there to get run over. The oppressive cold during the winter also means there's an event literally every day that it is above 50 degrees, from public free concerts, festivals, and a few places even do free movies and other productions usually outdoors on summer nights.

It's also fairly cheap, cost-of-living wise. Taxes are lower (compared to the south), and many goods are not taxed at all (clothing, most food). Minnesota is also pretty fiscally responsible as well, which leads to a tax surplus which leads to more free events, more well maintained parks and roads, and a pretty low overall poverty rate (~14%, compared to say, GA, TX, NC, and TN, who are all between 23-29%).

Before I fully commit to that, however, I would like to live in SF, see how that is.

I would love to live in Denver Colorado.  I was there in two summers ago and the legal weed was unbelievable
It was so cheap and everyone was offering free smoke
I want to go back next summer for good
I cant wait to try some of the new strains and edibles they have waiting for a good price

Zurich, hands down; but if I had to be in the same country Im in (US) I would pick Seattle. The only thing that turns me off from it is cost of living.

Really? have you ever been to Geneva, or even better, Lausanne by Lake Geneva? Beautiful place, castles in the countryside, great vineyards and stuff. I'm not a jogger normally, but I could not resist going for a run around the town every morning while I was there. Even though I was there during the beginning of the farming season and everyone just put out fresh fertilizer and it smelled like straight poo everywhere. One of the best places I've ever been. As soon as you get to the Lake, you've got civilization and nightlife, and Geneva itself is pretty.

Most crime in the US is concentrated in poor areas. If your in a gang your chances of being a victim of a crime go up dramatically.

Jogging is great in pretty high density places where there's lot to see. It's like sightseeing in fast forward.

What you guys think of Canada? I thought Toronto was a happening city! It's like Chicago without the Chicago crime and segregation. It's like the "America" I always read or heard about. I was only there for a few hours and thought it was nice. I wonder why a lot of the buildings in Toronto were all made with glass, is it because so that sunlight can get in better during colder and darker months?

There was a highway electronic sign "do not drive while high", so I would assume marijuana is legal in Canada. Do they sell the weed in smoke shops? I never looked into this while in Canada. Also, gambling age I think is 19. I'd assume drinking and smoking age in Canada are also liberal than in the U.S.

If money was no object, I'd have Boleskine House rebuilt to scale. Or maybe I'd buy a place in the Garden District or perhaps (but less likely since it's a tourist trap) the French Quarter of NOLA.
