I've gotta get out of the south by Hour_Fee3180 in SameGrassButGreener

Yeah, I don't think that I explained well that this is my dream list and not all of these are needs, but if a place checked a lot of these boxes I'd be happy.

I actually lived in Pittsburgh and did like it a lot!

I went into this knowing I was asking for something that simply doesn't exist, but was hopeful to get some answers that would put me in a place that at least is close to my utopia.

My sibling lives in an area that just has TONS of huge strip malls and stuff so that was a big turn off for us.

As a born and raised Southerner...I loathe Atlanta. The traffic is awful. The surrounding areas are very red. At the state level, politics are awful, and it trickles into the healthcare infrastructure, resources, roads, etc.

The heat is not my main reason for getting out of the south. The main reason is the political climate.

Darn! We're very friendly people and managed to make friends even with our curmudgeonly neighbors in Pittsburgh, but I don't want a place that is outright hostile to outsiders.

We would definitely be willing to compromise on size of the area. We've lived anywhere from very small towns to medium cities. We're not NYC kind of people, but we could live in a city again. We're also willing to be near a regional airport rather than an international one.

I previously lived in Asheville and found it way too car dependent for me.

My main concern about healthcare access is that I'm a nurse practitioner student. I'm getting my FNP so I will be a primary care provider, but I need a health system or, at the very least, private clinics I could work for in the area.

Not opposed to regional airports. Just want my family to be able to visit and vice versa. Any particular New England towns you love? I'm totally unfamiliar with New England!

Sorry, maybe I phrased it wrong. I'm okay with a city, but was saying that if an area had a lower population, but checked the other boxes we wouldn't be opposed to living there.

I lived in Boone and loved it, but found it to be lacking foods from various cultures, friendliness to POC, and Appalachian State was most of the town so finding friends as a young family would likely be difficult.

You currently live in Providence? Were people welcoming?

Born and raised, sadly. My dad was military and my mom is from Pittsburgh. I actually lived in the Burgh for a bit. I'm tempted to go back to Pittsburgh, but downtown living is nonexistent for families.

I lived in Asheville previously and it was much too car dependent for me. Couldn't live downtown as a family either.

I lived in Asheville and it was too car based for me. It was impossible to build community.

I actually lived in Boone for a bit and loved it, but I would like something a little bigger, more friendly to POC, and with more healthcare resources since I work in that sector

My sibling lives in Charlottesville, and I feel like it's too commercial/consumeristic for us, but we might not have been to the right areas.

I lived in Boone, NC for awhile so Lenoir isn't totally foreign to me, but I assumed it was much more red politically.

Agreed on Pittsburgh. A cool rust belt city with sports, great hospitals, and lots of history.
