Should I move to a larger city just to meet more people and develop a social life?

Current city: ~20,000 pop, rural/farms, tweakers, country bumpkins.

Proposed city: Minneapolis/St.Paul metro area or suburb. ~2.5 mil pop.

Currently I live with my parents and am paying them $650 per month in rent, which I see as a pretty good deal. However, this town + living with parents is not very conducive to social growth. There isn’t shit to do here, I don’t have any irl friends and I mostly just lay in bed after work. If I moved I’m not sure what rent would be. I would likely see if one of my old college roommates would be interested in living together again. Definitely higher but not outrageous, maybe like $1200/month depending on location.

The other caveat is that currently I am afforded the ability to work fully remote because I am far enough away from my company office. If I move to the metro, I would likely be expected to come into the office 2 days per week.

What would you guys do in this situation? When I was in college I really didn’t like city living, but if the alternative is not having any friends or being able to meet anyone, it may be worth it.
