Moving to minneapolis from a coastal city

I moved from Los Angeles to Minneapolis last summer, and it‘s one of the best decisions I‘ve ever made. My husband is from here so I got to know it on visits to see family. There‘s art, good food, and houses half the price of comps in LA. Life is way more convenient (even with the snow). It actually does take 20 minutes max to get across town, unlike the woefully inaccurate LA in Clueless. Plus, Minnesota is slated to be a climate haven in the near future.

philly, minneapolis, maybe baltimore

Each has varying degrees of transit mobility and work in different ways. All are on the cheaper end for major cities—though depends on your idea of cheap. I’ve lived in philly and minneapolis without a car. Philly’s trains and trolleys get you most places you’d want to go if you live near a stop. There’s also a bus system that’s a little frustrating bc of traffic but the routes are pretty comprehensive. Some bike lanes but the drivers there aren’t super safe to bike around. Minneapolis is more spread out and there are two light-rail lines (i think? maybe there are more? I’ve been here for like a month), and it seems like most people i know who aren’t driving take the buses. There’s also an incredible amount of bike lanes and trails. Downside is winter probably. And i haven’t lived in baltimore but i’ve heard good things! It’s also more affordable than most cities and i can’t attest to the quality of the public transit but i know it’s there.

MILWAUKEE is super cool

I lived in MKE it’s super chill there! very good coffee shops and live music scene is cool. however, I’m from Minneapolis and I loved it while I was there. The art, music, nature, people, and cost of living is solid.
