I live in Memphis and I feel perfectly safe most places I go, but I know which places to go and what places not to go. I grew up here so I know my neighborhood, but keep in mind. The homicide rates are gang gang for the most part so I mean It’s highly unlikely you’re gonna get shot just you know walking down the street not to say that it can’t happen, but the chances are pretty slim, just be aware of your surroundings. And people don’t know how to drive or simply don’t care. I have never lived anywhere where the traffic, the drivers are as bad as they are here. Please, if you’re new in town, be a defensive driver like you’ve never been in your life.

[@DPF61008OConnor]

Yeah don't always believe what people have to say on Chicago negatively, yes there is crime, but you can say that for any major city and like 95% of the time it takes place in the far west and south sides of the city. The Loop/Magnificent Mile/Streetville/River North/Gold Coast and northern Chicago are fairly safe.

[@davidcobb464]

I lived in Chicago for a decade, and I can say that it is definitely safe anywhere from the South Loop up to Evanston. There are a couple of neighborhoods west of Weatern Avenue that are sketchy. Hyde Park on the South side is great, too. You can ditch the car and use the El and buses. Look for places closer to the lake. Most people wish they moved closer.

[@cullenpeterson]

Surprised Chicago isn’t higher. If you’re young, I don’t think there’s a better place to live in the country. Great jobs, high pay, cheap rent (relative to other major cities), so much to do, great people, you don’t need a car, etc. it’s a pretty incredible deal for that age/stage. I moved from Florida after college and love it here. (not a shot at Florida btw, love it there too but got a much better job offer here) The suburbs seem pretty great too once you inevitably outgrow the city. Yes - the taxes are high, the politics aren’t great, and it gets pretty cold for a few months. But the benefits outweigh the costs IMO, at least at my stage of life.

[@jimwalker1089]

[@hughfuller8416]

I’ve been in Denver for over 20 years. When the sun goes down don’t be downtown. A lot of gated off area downtown because of the homeless situation. When it gets hot, then it gets hot. When it’s cold, then it’s cold.

[@bradleyschmidt7190]

Glad you're being more fair and accurate about cities now. I lived in NYC for about 25 years and I felt safer there than a lot of smaller cities mainly because no matter where you went and what you did there were PEOPLE around, which made it feel safer. In small cities where nobody walks or is out, it feels unsafe because you never knew who was hiding behind what corner

[@AKayfabe]

I live in St. paul MN, it’s connected to Minneapolis so you get all the perks of Minneapolis and can go there to do stuff easily, but St. paul is smaller, slightly cheaper, less people, lots of ethnic and independent grocers and stores, art and music here too and there’s a lot of nature around because I live by the river.

[@Wasntme-saidi]

I like Miami's high-end homes on the pages of Florida Design. I've vacationed in Vegas and been to Columbus numerous times for work n play. Both cities are great for entertainment, endless restaurants (more so in Vegas), different neighborhood vibes and not terribly expensive if you're thrifty about where you shop or visit. Traffic seemed to be worse in Columbus,but I haven't been back to Vegas in 5-6 yrs to experience the invasion of Californians. Recommend getting a rental car and checking out the various parks in Vegas and just wandering around the whole city and neighboring city of Henderson. Vegas is actually small if you conquer the 15-20 mile radius around the strip.

[@samspade2104]

[@Vic-ok2pp]

Just in Portland last week. Midday traffic was really bad with drivers who will cut you off at every opportunity.

[@mikelee8535]

I've been traveling as a nurse for the past 3 years and the best places are towns/areas just right outside a big city. Milwaukie, Or just outside of Portland was great. I was able to enjoy Portland without living in Portland. I was able to go snowboarding almost every day I had off. I could also go enjoy other outdoor activities and the endless choices of food and entertainment. Oxnard, Ca was OK. The food there was the best out of all the places I've gone. If you've never had birria, you're not living life. Being close to Ventura was cool and there are mountains that can be enjoyed. The beaches are overcrowded and ok. Like the beaches, SoCal is just so congested, in traffic, in population, and in your lungs. I also grew up in Fresno so it has a special place in my heart but its also Fresno. I now live in north Fresno so its much, much, MUCH, better. I also lived in Humboldt County for a good portion of my life and the homeless there is something to behold. Small towns, big city problems. But you have the Redwoods that squeeze up to the wide open beaches that on certain days, you can literally enjoy all to yourself. Also, if you love the devil's lettuce, this is the place for it. I don't. Other than that, I worked on the Oregon Coast and love it but food is limited and so is the medical care. Being in healthcare and working in super rural areas (Fall River Mills, Ca), if you are in need of specialty care, immediate live saving surgery, or you're just in poor health, you need to be close to a big city or understand that you might not get any of those things in a timely manner or at all. But of all the things about the Oregon Coast, its the beaches. Best ocean front in my opinion. Overall, being close to a big city is really nice and Portland isn't the greatest as shown in this video, but it was better than living in SoCal. Also, people will complain about anything if given the chance.

I'm not surprised it was 17 on the list, although if you've ever had to commute on the "sure-kill" (Schulykill - pronounced "school-cul" Expressway) you'd understand it is not friendly to get around. Philadelphia is a huge conglomerate of neighborhoods. I grew up in Roxborough - and didn't even know I lived in "the city" until I hit grade school because it's so suburban there. I'd walk for hours in Fairmount Park - a beautiful place. In fact, Mom always said, "We're going into "the city" when we hopped on the A bus to downtown Wanamakers. I grew up to be a teacher, and wound up in the lovely neighborhood of Kensington to teach - oh the stories I have, even from way back when in the late 80's. BTW, that school was called Willard (yup, like the rat- can't make this stuff up). I moved to the burbs in my late 30's and at 40 moved the very flat plains of IL.

SLC has the winter inversion. Not so clean air then. SF has higher wages but even in the 6 figures you will not get rich due to high cost of living. Minneapolis Is NOT tax friendly for retirees. Las Vegas, NV? Really? LOL!

The most evil, selfish people in America are developers and landlords. Redeveloping older neighborhoods nearer city centers to stop sprawl and terrible commutes would help a lot. We need to live more like those in European cities. Quality lives with less materialism.

Houston is becoming unlivable, which is why after 43 years of living here I’m moving as soon as I retire.

Have lived in both Charlotte & Columbus. Can confirm they’re super comparable in almost every facet.
