In Baltimore incredibly nice townhouses in very nice neighborhoods sell for like $300k, there are private schools for the kids if the local public isn't any good, and there are high paying jobs in healthcare and education. There are bad neighborhoods (as in every other major American city,) but they are easily avoided. It's a good city to live in.
Left Atlanta for Denver 4 years ago, and it's one of the best decisions I ever made even if it's gotten more expensive out here. The weather and quality of life makes up for it.
Every time I'm in Denver I'm surprised at how many healthy, young, homeless folks I see there. I get the feeling many people just move there first and take care of the details once they arrive. Seeing it at #1 on the list is not surprising.
My worst nightmare is a highway between Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas, where every 5 seconds a car merges from the right and left with only one lane until I finally wake up in a cold sweat.
Heat, humidity, hurricane season has been getting worse, awful traffic, constant construction. These are some of the many reasons my wife and I are actively applying to jobs in the Pacific NW now.
I have this wild conspiracy theory that they made an error and Baltimore was actually supposed to be Austin, Texas.
Seattle has a human feces problem too? I thought that was just San Fran (only "been to" Seattle via connecting flights).
Not that surprising. I'm a polisci major, which means at some point in my life I'll probably work in DC. Relatedly, I'll probably never afford DMV, so Baltimore is probably the best choice, esp with Acela.
My thought on the Baltimore thing:
It's cheaper D.C.
People want to be in D.C./NoVa but they're getting massively priced out, so Baltimore becomes the back-up plan.

I have a friend who right out of college got help from her parents to buy a house with whatever she saved up in North Park..for around $300,000 around 2008/2009. Back then North Park was not super hip and happening.. today it's one of the go to spots for people to go out and drink and hang out and live and her house is well over a million. I have a great job and make 6 figures...but even i can't afford to buy a home that is over 800 square foot in a neighborhood that doesn't suck.Prior to the mid-2000s it was fairly reasonable by California coastal standards:
LOL anyone from SF would tell you that SF is terrible place to live and people should NOT move there.
For Orlando I don't think it has anything to do with traffic or jobs.
From what I've seen apartment prices have skyrocketed all through Orlando to where it makes more sense financially to pay slightly more or the same for a house (if you plan to stay in the area). The housing market has not reached LA or NY levels of unattainable for the average person or family.
I grew up not too far from Orlando and am still in my 20s and honestly feel like the odd one out since seems like everyone I know in that area is buying a house.

I feel like the influx of money is playing its part in ATL. Gentrification has made the place so much different from a decade ago.
There are some parts that are completely unrecognizable.
One of my clients is on Memorial not far from Moreland Ave near downtown. The transformation into completely unaffordable condos and high-end shopping over the past two years has been stunning
Yea I do not recognize anything downtown anymore. It reminds me of the uppity parts of Sacramento.
It takes an hour to get anywhere in Houston. The HEB across the way? Hour. Ikea? Hour.
Can confirm, live in Orlando and have been wanting to leave for the last 3 years. The only positive aspect of living here is that it's cheap.
Yes, this is a monster the folklore of Southeast Asia and SE Asian archipelagos. Toss a coin to your witcher.Replace the airplane taking off picture with
The myriad of tolls and the intense amount of traffic is why I refuse to move there.
Sometimes I want to leave. Native NY'er. I feel like I would act the same way as Dennis and Mac did when they moved to the suburbs.
Not to mention you're not in some remote place. It's 1 hour from DC, 2–3 to Philly, 3–4 to New York.
It's not hard to find great small cities lots of places, but it's a lot harder to find ones that are not expensive but also not four or five hours removed from anything else.
Pretty much every major US city is growing, right? I don't know much about Baltimore's economy but for people who live in the suburbs Baltimore is probably an improvement for them economically. The #1 reason people move is because of their jobs.
Surprised at the lack of Austin. It's not like the real estate is popping there where buying is much more lucrative than renting.
I moved to Seattle because I got sick of hot and humid weather. I could have been in any of the major northern cities, Seattle's job just happened to accept me first.

Charlotte, NC is the 8th place people want to go but is also the 6th place people want to leave, interesting. I've only visited it being in Raleigh but I can see both reasons.
Poor Riverside. It's not too bad of place to be - but I imagine many people have to make an hour commute minimum to get to their jobs.
It has a bedroom community vibe, too.
And, of course, it has two fairly sizable universities, so that might affect this, as well.
Isn't there a Portillos down the road in MoVal?
