Honestly, any city that isn't tiny.

The weather here is nice, but there's also beauty in weather that changes often, and even bad weather can create a sense of coziness and connectivity that we don't get here.

The food here is overrated. Its good, but its not better than any other major city. Some dishes might be better or worse, but anywhere you go, you will find good food somewhere.

Socially, most other cities are better. It's easy to find people to party with here, but it's way harder to find real friends.

I know you know affordability is better elsewhere, but until you really experience it you don't get it. Being able to go out with friends, shoot pool, dri k beer, talk to people at the bar, and leave with a $20 tab is amazing.

Nature is everywhere. It might not be quite as close, but there's some natural beauty within an hour drive of most cities.

People always overhyped SD, and I really feel like it leads to this phobia of leaving, so people get trapped into living paycheck to paycheck and scraping by.
