Thread 211894979

Welcome to America, here are your habitation options:

THE A-LIST CITY
>examples: New York City, LA
>$2,000 a month minimum rent to live in a roach infested shoebox (at least you won't have roommates)
>everywhere is overcrowded and full of tourists
>homeless people shitting and pissing and screaming in the street are a daily occurrence
>tons of jobs that generally pay better than elsewhere in the country (but you spend 2x more on rent)
>lots of stuff to do (if you have money)

THE POST-INDUSTRIAL CITY
>examples: Cleveland, Detroit
>suitable one bedroom apartments can be found for relatively cheap ($1,000 a month or less)
>the majority of the city is an impoverished crime ridden hellscape
>quite a few jobs, but they don't pay nearly as well as larger cities
>you'll be lucky to find 5 or more museums, parks, or other attractions that are worth going to
>a new generic millennial cafe opening is cause for massive celebration and local news headlines (it will go under in 8 months)
>everyone pretends to love their shitty, decaying city as if it's the best place on earth

FLYOVER LAND
>examples: 90% of the United States by area
>$600 for a one bedroom in the "heart" of town
>absolutely nothing to do, including employment
>average town age of 47
>you'd better know how to speak Spanish
>at least you can smugly post about city dwelling liberals on the internet to try and convince yourself you enjoy this life

THE GREAT SOUTH
>examples: Raleigh, Atlanta
>I hope you like rap music

EDEN
>examples: small towns in New England, Pacific Northwest
>picturesque towns with amazing weather year round
>rent is somehow even higher than A-List cities
>usually only a few jobs that cater to the wealthy local population, everyone local commutes to the city for work
>every grocery store, restaurant, and cafe has an organic yuppie theme and costs twice as much as a normal place
>if you're not independently wealthy the locals won't treat you like a human being

Where are you choosing to spawn?

>>211894979 (OP)
Flyover land is perfect, and every day I feel horrible about not having been born there.

I choose New England like Connecticut which is not far away from Manhattan.

>>211894979 (OP)
Okay, communist. Get a job and buy a house.

>>211894979 (OP)
post-industrial city.
>western US has some great cities but they aren't worth the price
>western US is too expensive even in the smaller cities
>eastern US has the best cities but they aren't worth the price
>eastern US is more manageable than western US as long as you are willing to branch out of the urban cores
>southern cities are booming and are not cheap anymore, rapid growth cause suburban congestion explosion out of control like in OP pic
>post-industrial cities now have cheapest housing, infrastructure and amenities that were originally designed for larger population, a lot of crime and blight, but are the best deal overall.

My city
>1 bedroom apartment for under 1K
>Lot of industrial employment, mostly union
>Lots of tradie employment, mostly union
>Decent amount of stuff to do (okay we're working on it)
>Liberal island in flyoverland

I wanna leave because we don't have lakes but idk where to go

I found a few apartments in Lincoln, Nebraska for $700. What kind of jobs could you do out there

Typical lying Euroshit

I made the choice of returning to my home town in flyover land after grad school. I had jobs offers in Connecticut, Massachusetts, LA, SF, and Seattle but decided to just return home because that’s where all my family and friends are.

It is nice for quality of life, because after taxes, rent, and $1.5K mo into retirement I have about $5K/mo left to use. My job also lets me earn up to 10 weeks vacation, 6.5 hrs earned every 2 weeks. I could get a house and a car pretty easily. It is a very easy job too but very boring and not intellectually stimulating so I might leave my friends for something in a bigger city. Even if financially it is not better for me it would feel better to use my brain

THE CVLLEGE TVWN
>$1200 rent for a recently constructed 1 bedroom (it has a functioning hot tub, empty gym, and free coffee)
>median age 25
>black out at a crowded club for under $20
>cops and criminals don’t bother anyone
>free shit intended for students everywhere
>pussy, obviously
>parks, museums, trails etc. funded by the school
>wannabe coke dealers giving free samples at every bar
>make $50/hr+ serving tables or bartending
traffic is abysmal during school months, but other than that it’s perfect

Wisconsin and Minnesota have a lot of lakes and probably enough jobs to get something

>>211896048
My uncle is an engineer there and makes good money. I’m sure there’s jobs for nursing and trades like damn near anywhere else. It is a college town that loves football and volleyball so anything that is good employment in a college town is there. I went to the world record volleyball game there they had like 92k people in a stadium for it.

>>211897181
Damn I didn't even know there were 92k people in Nebraska, did they have to send out messengers on horseback all along the Platte basin to wrangle up every man, woman, and child

I'm on the Gulf Coast, not one of the relevant ones. But Nebraska seems so desolate in my imagination, surprised y'all got broadband out there

I live in Northern Virginia. I pay $2,500/m for rent in a single bedroom apartment. But its really quiet here, and I'm walking distance from the metro station.

>>211897805
Glowie?

>>211894979 (OP)
Shut the fuck up nigga, imagine being demoralized by a bunch of trust fund communist Podcast retards. Even literal illegals who don't even speak fucking English manage to not just live somewhere but buy a fucking condo or house

>2,000 a month minimum
You can find a one bedroom/student apartment, even a brand new in places in New York any time. Even brand new apartments at the edge of upper Manhattan go for like 2-2.5k

>>211898051
no, but i did apply for that job multiple times

>>211898552
you posting on 4chan probably did not help

>>211899997

like landscaping it's a business that only exists because people are too lazy to do their own yardwork. they trim branches from trees to prevent them from damaging the house in a storm. something that every red blooded man should be doing for himself instead of paying wood chipper trucks to block the road for three hours.

>>211894979 (OP)
My town sounds closes to Post Industrial, but it's gentrified and has an actual tech scene.
Of course that means rent is $1500, instead of $1000, and jobs still don't pay much past 30k for unskilled and 60k for skilled.

I want to live in the Upper peninsula on the Great Lakes when I’m rich

>>211902316

Flyover land is comfy
>there's nothing to do
I don't go outside

Rural kentucky because land is cheap there (last I checked) and the forest is beautiful

>>211894979 (OP)

>>211904568

How many chucks would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood

>>211906164
phoenix is awful in all ways
sedona - flagstaff area is pretty but it's just typical american sprawl in an arid climate

What do Americans mean with "you can't do anything there " when talking about flyover no man's land towns? Most of my time I'm in front of the computer and I'd love low cost housing and a possibility to enjoy nature with no people around. Working on a bike, driving it through the land with no fucker around. Germany is so full you can't do anything in nature without some asshat in close vicinity

>>211909343
It’s just boring people that need constant stimulation from the hustle and bustle of the big city or that want to go out to shitty bars every night
