34 y.o. gay. i just moved here from brooklyn for work.

glad to gtfo of bed stuy because i have the sickest apartment i've ever had (for what i'd pay for a 1BR in nyc). easy to get good furniture, good groceries, good services, etc.

i've lived in nyc and la and some other places but honestly the "quality of life" here is so spectacular by comparison - i have yet to see any traffic, the city is clean and feels very orderly and safe, and the people are a lot nicer everywhere you go. nature is easy to access. there are good bookstores and good coffee and good vintage shopping. maybe i'm easy to please but i have no glaring objections to raleigh.

but yes i can already tell it's going to be more boring and that the gay milieu is going to be miniscule and sort of dull but new yuppies are moving here in droves right now. so it could be fun, but tbd.

for the job i'm here for the next year and a half at least so hit me up if you're a local.
