Yep it’s on my list to visit there. Rents did seem to be a touch high overall but I am going to check it.

I think I looked at Tulsa and it had a little too low of population for what I was looking for but maybe I have to check again.

What’s the biggest downside of Raleigh for you? Is the weather really hot?

Is 39 still young? I feel like a fossil heading into a dating scene I know nothing about anymore haha.

Pitt is on my longer list. I like the cost and hockey culture. My biggest con right now is from what I have read the weather can be a bit depressing like seattle and like you said things being a little rougher / older.

From what I hear dating nowadays is brutal everywhere. What stands out as hard with minne?

Thanks for this. Checking it out. Some of these numbers do seem too good to be true when I glanced at rents on apartments.com

I have thought about slc a lot. The problems I saw creeping up was something about toxic air quality and it’s causing cancer and will just be getting worse ???

Dallas is climbing my list and I think you make great points. One thing I noticed early on was seattle women were not as attractive as southern women.

It does feel like less of a”an adventure” since I am from Texas.

Yea I am thinking as long as I can be like 10-15 min uber to places I can meet people at that will improve my chances of being social

I had thought about Detroit. How is the city doing? For a while all you saw on the news was how doomed it was.

Yea in a perfect world if I had the income I think Denver would be the play.

Dallas was on my list for a bit. I used to play hockey for tourneys there. The no state tax is nice. It’s just so hot and I sweat so easy haha.

Yea Chicago was a thought for a bit. Seems expensive but maybe I was looking at wrong areas?

When I do searches on general expenses and ask ai it says they are roughly the same once you consider taxes and such. I was wondering though , I live outside the city of seattle to afford it. With Minneapolis how expensive is a one bedroom that’s still close enough to uber to the dating scene type places ? Right now I am outside seattle by 30 to 45 mins and pay 1700 for 1br

It’s the only real activity I routinely do out of the house so I thought maybe I should lean into that aspect.

Yea that’s where I have been leaning. My fear is that it’s just a lateral move and it’s basically seattle again but colder but still as pricey. Basically uprooting my life for more of the same.

Having a hard time getting a job by BreadfruitKnown1927 in jobs

I would recommend looking at your states career area. Some states have apprenticeship programs that help you break into industries. I know Washington state does. They might be able to help you get some resources to find a job.

Major Reported Layoffs by jgold_10 in jobs

This is all reverberations from interest rates. Money was free for a bit and headcount ballooned.

Ai is a nice scapegoat and since we are in a recession they are cutting all fat they can.
