[@thegiantpaperpanda]

Same. I want to visit Duluth. If it's as awesome as it seems, I would love to put down roots and raise a family there. I'm lucky enough where I work remotely can live where ever I please.

[@jwill9877]

@@thegiantpaperpanda it's a nice place. Im from here then moved away for work, but later found my way back. Winters are long and bitterly cold with lots of snow. Summers don't start until late June and only July is hot and humid. September's are nice and by mid October it's cold again. Just letting you know the weather aspect. There is alot of outdoor things to do here. Just remember no matter how awed you are at lake superior be careful because it's in control and you are along for the ride.

[@glennmorrell4907]

I would move to Duluth or the UP of Michigan in a heartbeat.

[@frzngrrl]

It's April 22 and we just had a blizzard a few days ago. Winter is 6-7 months long, and it's the worst winter you'll ever experience. Don't move here unless you can handle that. Everyone I know in Duluth right now is depressed.

moving here for college from texas soon. super excited!

[@scoobysdogwalkin]

What a super awesome and informative video! Great voice over! Well done. What a beautiful place! See ya soon!❤️

Glad you enjoyed it!

I visited up there and it was life changing. I hope to be there permanently one day

[@Johnhargrove18]

Lol now it’s a Marxist shit hole filled with homeless and crack fiends

[@ROSS4422]

We live two hours away. We go to Duluth a few times a year, its a great area to visit and drive. I've been there dozens of times! Truly a world class place to visit.

[@whatupplaya5179]

Duluth...North Shore...our gem Lake Superior will refresh and revive 👍🏼❤️

[@foodreviewsandfunthing]

Been to Duluth many times love it I'm just from the Twin Cities maybe I'll move to Duluth when I retire

[@judasplow25]

I'm watching my hometown grow up in a big,big way. In the summer It's one of the most beautiful cities in America. If you are an investor local real estate is a sound bet. It's awesome for a vacation, the entire midwest is finding that out. If you retire here and have a southern winter retreat you can die a very happy person! Hope this helps.

[@ahbwisurfnpaddle]

amazingly, Duluth has a very enthusiastic young surf crew, who look forward to the coldest, windiest, snowiest weather, because that's when the Best waves arrive to the North Shore....e.

[@robertronning7016]

I'm already here I am one of the unfortunates I do not have enough money to rent a home in the Duluth area. My social security is not enough it's kind of crazy when you think that you've worked your whole life serving others but there's nothing left for you yes I'm somewhat bitter but I'm ready to get started.

[@PaulNgim]

Thank you!

[@diigentace8066]

I'm going to Duluth

[@Xslices]

No black people exist there. How is racism so far?

[@Jefff72]

If I ever move back to Minnesota, I would go to Duluth. I grew up in Blaine, but the Twin Cities area is too big for my taste. I'm used to living around appr. 100,000 populated. I like a little city life next to nature. I went to college in St. Cloud, I like that town but Duluth is much more scenic.

[@jasonmachula1472]

I grew up in St Cloud, started college at SCSU but currently live in San Diego. I'm looking for retirement property (not-winter) near Duluth now! Going to live in the dessert below Big Bear snowboard park during the winter though.

[@suzettekath9860]

What is nice is not only is Duluth spread out to be feeling like various small cities in one big one. So are the other cities around Duluth as well. I grew up in Coon Rapids, about a mile from the city line between Blaine and Coon Rapids. The area has that feel that both Blaine and CR had in the 60s for spaciousness. But in a mountainous area.

[@Jefff72]

@@suzettekath9860 I grew up in Blaine next to Spring Lake Park and went to SLP HS. When I was a kid, it was the edge of the suburbs and now it is just a mess of traffic.

[@suzettekath9860]

@@Jefff72 Hwy 10 right where Egret bridge is. There was not much of anything but trees mainly. Now that is built up as well. Used to be able to dig for worms to fish with right by the lil spring by the base of the bridge on the north east side. As for school, I went to when it was called Coon Rapids Senior High.

[@randygravel2057]

I’m from California. Six months a year I’d die from the cold. No joke.

The summers in Duluth are hot !! Great beaches on lake superior!!! Expect temps in the 80S plus from June till September!! paradise here!!!

[@mobla5484]

Cost of living is NOT lower it’s Very high compared to other states.

[@danielheideman576]

You are Correct

[@lordoffaiyum9727]

Lower than Massachusetts. This place is a slaughter trust me

[@shannondaniels6801]

Cheaper than most of California, Washington state…reason why so many West Coast people are buying land in Duluth…

[@timothyryan8390]

They trying to gentrify Duluth n tear down low income housing replacing it with high end condos / hotels.

[@danielmurray8560]

So I got on a bus in Bemidji and asked the bus driver if this bus go "to Duluth" he just looked at me and said with a smile, "no sir, the bus goes beep-beep" !!

[@HOMEiA]

Funny! ^_^

[@davidblumer1790]

But yes it's an incredible life there....even at 30° below...

[@PurpleLemurs]

See y’all in Duluth

[@robertronning7016]

born and raised here I have no a disgruntled resident of the city of Duluth I am tired of fighting off the government who doesn't have enough although I see great efforts in lending a hand to those in need you will not do what is really needed you provide shelters for people but you kick them out during the coldest time of the night you have empty buildings that you must heat year-round schools that are empty owned by the people you condemned to death.was it rolling Stones article correct about Duluth Minnesota is this really the place for democracy hangs for some of us I would have to say yes Brothers good luck in your financial endeavors.

[@dbcooper692]

Minnesota is turning into another California. I am in CA. born and raised and am 67years old. I have many relatives in MN. and I always wanted to retire there, but not now. Sooner than later MN. will be impossible to afford to live a happy life.

Here're 15 best cities to retire in Minnesota: homeia.com/city-living-guide/best-places-to-retire-in-minnesota/

[@larkatmic]

Karma is a bitch, ain’t it. California was affordable up until the 1980s. That’s when everyone and their mothers from the mid west and east coast moved here, and made it unaffordable for those born here. Everyone’s shifting because of politics now. I never thought America would Balkanize. What a mess

[@dbcooper692]

@@larkatmic I live in Nevada County California and this has to be one of the most left-wing parts of this crazy state. These liberals up here are dropping like flies. Fewer and fewer people want to live here and many are moving to more livable states. Wherever they go they will take their worthless liberal ideas with them. I want to move also. There are houses for sale all over the place and the people selling aren't moving to other parts of CA. they are moving to other states!

[@DMichael3]

Yep I was born in Duluth and lived there till I was 10. Now I’m in Texas and have considered moving back being 25 but it’s not worth it even being a merchant mariner. It would have to be very rural to make sense and even then I’d be “sacrificing” a lot of amenities.

[@Bradleehage]

Duluth as tall buildings a media size city but Duluth is more of a bigger city than people think.

[@douglaspauschert654]

Did anyone mention SNOW!

[@benschildgen4994]

Is there good access to hunting property?

[@HOMEiA]

Yes, there are.

[@jasonmachula1472]

North or west of Duluth there is a lot of public land where you can hunt and if you want to buy, 'hunting land' is super cheap compared to residential land.

[@rogers4845]

Nice to place to visit but don't move there. Video doesn't show the growing crime and homeless problems.

[@Sunny25611]

Exactly. It’s changed immensely in the last 12 years.

[@DMichael3]

From 2007-2021 was huge Every place I know looks desolate

[@guymann4016]

The reality is much different. I moved from Duluth two years ago. 37 years I won’t get back. There just aren’t any employment opportunities there. Add the overwhelming drug and crime issues, it’s just not what it used to be. Duluth is great to visit from June through October but as far as actually living there. No. Also, drive the roads there as they reflect the cities budget and priorities. Just make sure it’s your winter beater.

[@judasplow25]

This really tells it like it is.

[@Bradleehage]

[@davidblumer1790]

User beware...if you come into Duluth broke...you'll find that they only have a certain number of slots...for the possibility of work...but I did get in and in a big way... But I'm not the usual there...

​@@HOMEiA No, it always snows some in November and sometimes in October. Then there is usually one last big snow storm in April. But this person seem to be making a PR commercial (lake, lake, lake, trails...lake, lake, craft beer--you betcha) and not giving any balance.

Love Duluth but can't stand the liberal politics. It's high time St. Louis County gets its head out of its butt and stops electing democrats. Taxes are too high, property taxes are too high, sales tax is too high, too many regulations...enough is enough.
