If you had a choice between moving to Cincinnati, Chattanooga, or Pittsburgh - wanting to be close to mountains and nature, and to have access to medical care, but not in too big a city, which would you choose?

>>22861913 (OP)
Columbus is better than these three options imo. Chattanooga is okay but way overpriced, you're better off living outside of Knoxville in Anderson county somewhere or even further out in Morgan county.

a few years back, I looked for moderately sized cities in the southeastern USA that had below average nog populations. Knoxville was a top choice. UT college QTs are a nice side benefit.

>>22861914
Are you a meth head?

>>22861914
Columbus seems NOGGED, and Cincin is closer to hills and pretty.
>Chattanooga is okay but way overpriced
I know it's expensive but it seemed pretty nice the one night I spent there.
>knoxville
seems much more ghetto and literally just a big railroad depot with some people living nearby

chattaNOOGA is the best name
PITTSburgh sounds like a jewish armpit
cincinnati would be cool if i was a jersey shore type and said "nati" all the time

Cincy on the Kentucky side of the river. Closer to the mountains, not far from the city (Cincinnati or Newport), and a little cheaper for places to live.

>>22861917
The nogs stay in their areas of the city, the only time you deal with them is if you go downtown and they're far outnumbered by the white kids going to the university. You won't see them in Upper Arlington.

Knoxville is ghetto, which is why I said live outside of there. It's fine to go to on the weekends in most areas and once again the nogs are well separated compared to Cinci. Oak Ridge area is super white and Morgan County and Roane county are both almost exclusively white.

>>22861919
I feel like the better mountains are in TN vs KY, though KY has a lot of nice stuff, don't get me wrong, I experienced briefly the Kentucky side of Cincin, it seemed nice.

And Pittsburgh just has like tons of cheap housing extending in all directions as well as highway access to mountainous areas. As well as tons of medical care.

>>22861920
But like Cincin and Chatt didn't seem quite as ghetto. I want to live in a place where the town seems nice too. I would also be ok living in a smaller town as long as I was 1-2 hours drive from a larger town that had proper medical care and specialty care.
But I kinda want an actual town, not just a home in the anonymous suburbs, you can get that anywhere.

cool skyscrapers

>>22861922
Idk, I've lived in Cinci, Chatt, Columbus and Knoxville. Cinci was the most nogged of all, Chatt is somewhat nogged and has a pretty bad drug issue.

If you lived in Roane you'd be around 2 hours from Nashville and 30 from Knoxville. Also 1.5 from Chattanooga. Housing is also a lot cheaper and it's basically all whites.

>>22861913 (OP)
Further east you get the more you wait in traffic. Its actually way more populated and the fucking retards crash in broad daylight. I couldnt speak to Cinci, its prob full of niggers because it is. Outskirts of Pitt to be a union dope and to talk like youre from Southy.

>>22861925
Cincinnati had some blacks but it also had a lot of life going on - the businesses seemed active and thriving and the town didn't seem semi-abandoned like some do. Plus my guess is if you live in the KY side you avoid a lot of the blacks.

>>22861924
>and has a pretty bad drug issue.
It seemed like chatt had some random homeless drug zombies wandering about and a strangely large amount of like abandoned industrial/railroad facilities that the state/county/whatever refuses to demolish - sitting next to spruced up homes and businesses.

>If you lived in Roane
yeah but its just like generic suburbs and no culture at all - don't get me wrong the proximity to big south fork would be nice, I love that area

>>22861922
You sounds like a Republican voter lol.

>>22861915
Based metrics

>>22861927
I am mindful of tribalist tensions - but really I just want to be near hiking and hills and I am not so concerned about people. It would be nice to have cool people living nearby and I don't want crazy christcucks either I don't interact with that - but I like hipster restaurants too.

>>22861913 (OP)
Pittsburgh lmao.

>>22861926
>Plus my guess is if you live in the KY side you avoid a lot of the blacks.
Definitely, Newport is actually kind of cool.

>>22861926
It's not suburbs though, it's just country lol. What exactly do you mean by culture? Harriman in Roane has a pretty well kept 1950s-ish downtown area. The culture in this area is camping, hunting, fishing, shooting, racing, church.

If you mean you want to live in a city with a vibrant downtown, then I get that, but it's not the burbs. Oak Ridge is burby. FWIW I see way more drugged out zombies in downtown Chatt than I ever have in Knoxville, the nogs are pretty separated there. There's plenty of nicer areas in Knox to live also, with an alright downtown area at your disposal and Nashville still isn't super far away.

>>22861930
I love that there's so much housing stock and there's obviously a strong local culture and beautiful architecture - but it does seem kinda abandoned and its the furthest away from southern pretty hills (though obviously much closer to PA/NY pretty hills which are nice but not QUITE as nice)

Pittsburgh feels like one big hospital for old people and there's less hipstery stuff than you would expect given the size - it's kinda the most old-fashioned of the cities I think. Also, they badly need to WIDEN the PA turnpike. It's insanely narrow if you don't have a small sedan. Gives me anxiety to think about driving it.

>>22861913 (OP)
fuck off we're full

>>22861931
I thought it was called Covington. Newport is somewhere else?

>>22861931
Kentucky seems really relaxed - I dig the vibe. Too bad about how disorganized the state seems and TN has better public land and hills. KY has a lot of strip mines and private land in the east. Very pretty, but you won't see much of it without an ATV (and ATV trails aren't even public land anyways, just easements, which is kinda fascinating given the "no trespassing" mentality otherwise).

>>22861926
>muh cultural enrichment

Atlanta is a better fit for you

>>22861936
2big
also I want a decent sized town that's not too far from hills
chatt ur RIGHT next to the tn gorge and the plateau

>>22861935
Knoxville is sounding more and more like your vibe, anon. You'd be right between the Smokies and Frozen Head, close enough to Nash and Chatt, there's a decent downtown area and plenty of food. I don't personally love Knox, and I'm a native, but A LOT of people do. I don't think it's worth the price when I could live in Columbus instead for the same rent, but I didn't want to keep paying rent there so moved out to Morgan county TN.

Knoxville is kind of ghetto looking in the sense that it still has a lot of old warehouses in the downtown area, hence the whole scruffy city thing. It's not culturally ghetto though. If you are actually out spending money you rarely see black people. If you have the money to not live in the hood, you'd be fine, but you haven't said how much to can spend on rent. Rent is going to easily be 1200 minimum for a one room and the majority of Knox isn't walkable at all. Market Square is walkable enough but rent there will easily be 1500 if not more.

If you weren't so anti-burb I'd once again suggest Oak Ridge to you. You can maybe check out Alcoa area or something like that, rent will probably be a little cheaper.

>>22861938
I get that the location is good, but the city itself seemed absurdly disappointing, admittedly I didn't get to spend much time downtown.
>I don't personally love Knox
not a ringing endorsement lol
why are there no cute small southern cities that aren't asheville
:(
>so moved out to Morgan county TN
what's a morgan county
>If you have the money to not live in the hood,
I do not
:(
I'm hoping for a trailer!
>If you weren't so anti-burb I'd once again suggest Oak Ridge to you
they are all the same!
there's nobody to talk to, it's socially isolating unless you are already heterosexually married and have kids

>>22861937
Look into western nc. Asheville is "cultural" and eastern tn has much more polluted groundwater because of lax regulations on industrial waste

Kentucky has the same pollution problem and virginia mountains are rural with no major cities

I'm about to move to morganton nc. Good access to mountains, lakes, national forests, asheville and charlotte

>>22861940
I want to be further rather than closer to Charlotte, I want to be closer to the plateau and only Pittsburgh is on it, and Knoxville and Chatt are next to it.
Asheville is nice but it kinda feels like a tourist trap.

>>22861939
If you want a trailer, once again, I'd consider living outside of Knoxville or maybe Powell which is where the trailer parks are closest to Knoxville. Morgan county is basically just living on a mountain. The "city" is Wartburg and the population is only like 900 which I wouldn't suggest for you, even though it's close to Oak Ridge and Knox and super cheap.

Everywhere is fairly socially isolating these days, anon. FWIW Oak Ridge has two pretty popular beer gardens with a lot of friendly patrons and the bars at both Aubrey's and Calhoun's are also filled with slightly upper class friendly patrons. There are a lot of Singo, karaoke etc nights and it's all mostly 24-40 year olds. Neighbors are friendly and talkative and the town is finally skewing a bit younger than it has most of my life. There are a lot of festivals that are mostly held at the park at the library with food trucks, music, crafts etc. There is a farmers market and things like that. Knoxville is 30 mins away and you can still get a two bedroom apartment at one spot in town that is only 800 a month.

But you don't like the burbs or the country and also don't have money to live in a city and I think are woefully unaware of how much a trailer actually costs (hint: it's usually just as much as rent at an apartment)

>>22861939
>i want to find a trailer to rent in a moderate sized city
It’s over.

>>22861943
no like 20-30 minutes outside maybe
small city or large town plz
but I do envy double wides
all the room you need
all on one floor

>>22861929
Hmmm. True. Ozarks is another place you can think about. But I’m only familiar with geography not christcucks or niggers.

>>22861942
>Knoxville is 30 mins away and you can still get a two bedroom apartment at one spot in town that is only 800 a month.
tell me more
tho really the whole point is to not have an apt I would KILL for a townhome or a trailer or something with my own entrance.

>>22861918
> PITTSburgh sounds like a jewish armpit
lol it literally is the armpit of Jewish America. If you want to have your assumptions about Jewish power tested go to Picksburgh and see how the Jews live there, in poverty with the rest of the rust belt rejects.

>>22861913 (OP)
The one with the least amount of niggers

>>22861945
Been meaning to see the Ozarks! Hope it's nice.
I get that pretty hills tend to have lots of religious stuff nearby. That's just kinda suffocating and exclusionary and I know I can't avoid it, but as long as the people under 50 aren't all totally wrapped up in it, should be ok maybe.

>>22861913 (OP)
imagine living on the east coast

fucking peasant-class whites and endless niggers and jews

>>22861944
You are literally describing Oak Ridge, only problem is they don't allow trailers. But Rolling Hills offers a 2 bedroom with outdoor deck for like 850 a month, which is cheaper than a decent trailer anyways. If you are stuck on a trailer move to Oliver Springs area, do most of your weekly socialization in Oak Ridge and go to Knox on the weekends and Chatt or Nashville once in awhile as a treat.

What you want doesn't exist and you will have to make some sort of compromise.

>>22861929
You should move to Asheville in two years once it is rebuilt.

>>22861941
Asheville is much more left wing "progressive" than knox. Chatt is somewhere in between but full of blacks. Any pretty place in the mountains with good weather is going to get a ton of tourists

>>22861948
there's just no way to get that other than living hours away from civilization and that makes it harder for me to get medical care

>only problem is they don't allow trailers
reeeee

>>22861952
is it all fucked up still? I haven't been there in a decade.

having actually visited pittsburgh, I would move there in a heartbeat. Beautiful city(minus oakland)

>>22861946
How much rent can you afford? There are plenty of townhomes around but the rent is like 2000. Trailers cost more than apartments but you can have them in Oliver Springs which is literally 5 mins away from Oak Ridge and you can also have them in Powell which is basically just Knoxville.

But neighbors in Powell aren't nearly as friendly and there aren't places that have as much regular crowds to socialize with and they don't have the festivals etc.

>>22861955
wow the river seems really low in that picture

>>22861956
I am looking to pay maybe 1500-2000, I mean ideally less, but that's max

>>22861954
Asheville isn’t fucked up but at the same time it is. Just wait a bit, off the main part is pretty rough from the storm damage.

>>22861957
it was march of last year, before they had that big flood

>>22861955
Pittsburgh is fun to visit, hell to live in. If you are serious about it watch “Zach and Miri make a porno”. I classify that as a documentary about Pittsburgh.

>>22861954
Oak Ridge has a pretty robust medical system due to the years it was mostly old people living there. Literally just get a trailer in Oliver Springs. I'm way more left than most of /pol/ and I only mention that since it seems to matter to you, but Oak Ridge is pretty socially progressive. Unless you are hanging out with the old people at the bar at Gallo Loco, you won't run into them very much.

My genuine advice to you is to move to Oak Ridge, get an apartment at Rolling Hills, save up money and then buy a trailer somewhere nearby once you have scouted out the areas you like and what you dislike. At only 850 a month you should easily be able to save up.

>>22861960
I took a bus out to boomfield/garfield and it looked like really comfy suburbs. Whats wrong with it?

>>22861960
>Pittsburgh is fun to visit, hell to live in
explain, I do like visiting, and there's lots of interesting stuff a few hours away (cheat canyon, ohiopyle, waterfalls, nw pa, pine creek)

>>22861961
kinda my worst fear is living in an old folks town
it would be really cool to live where 30-40 something people are at
but I also don't need to be in something dense, I'm fine driving a bit to get to town, just not like 2-3 hours to get to a dr appointment

>>22861913 (OP)

>>22861964

chattanooga especially is pretty small and compact
I am open to smaller towns too!

>>22861917
Show your flag if you were white you would. Don't come here fuck you.

>>22861963
That's what I'm telling you, it's skewing a lot younger now. All the festivals and bars etc are full of 30-40 year olds that like to chat. There are things to do, you are close to all the mountains you could possibly want and if you settle for a cheap apartment and save the other 1000 or so in your rent budget, you will have money to put down on a townhome, trailer, whatever in no time.

It's socially progressive, has a robust medical system and everything else that you want, but you seem stuck on Shitnooga for some reason. If you want to go by the brief vibes you felt vs someone that has literally lived in almost all of these places and the places I've discussed with you, you can do that, but I think it's dumb. I don't really know what else to tell you.

>>22861913 (OP)
i'd move to that national radio deadzone without internet and finally be free from you faggots (and frens)

>>22861968
>but you seem stuck on Shitnooga for some reason
it genuinely seemed a lot fancier and the buildings were more redone than in other cities ive been to (ive been to a ton of falling apart rural towns), and the restaurants seemed nice, it just seemed well put together - I have to go back - I didn't get to spend much time there.

>Cincy
Shithole

>Chatt
Redneck shithole

>Pittsburgh
Rustbelt rejects

Go to a real man's state: Montana. It's getting more expensive, but either Bozeman or Billings are fine choices.

>>22861970
I mean, it seems like you made your decision then. You'll be about two hours away from any other city worth a shit, so I hope you like it as much as you think you will. For me, I ran out of shit to do in Chattanooga within like 8 months of living there especially since 90% of it is full of methed out assholes and gangs. The cherry on top was all of the tornadic activity constantly.

Pittsburgh sucks because of the economy and the people. Never have you met a more obnoxious, provincial group of inbred mouth breathers. They still think they are blue collar despite being terminally liberal and jobless for the last half a century. The Jews are a huge part of the population and are low class poor Jews, while still being as annoying as well groomed Jews.

The positives of Pittsburgh are the food and the low cost. The food is honestly amazing, they have authentic everything and only in Pittsburgh foods, and the food is cheap with huge portions. I gained 20 lbs living there.

Once a month we would get a water quality advisory that some chemicals plant had dumped into the Mon. You had to boil your water.
