Cleveland here, just shot and killed philly because its full of pussies.

CH-chchchchchchchoong

It's a rare condition
in this day and age
to read any good news
on the newspaper page

London ontario, also known as the forest city because of forests EVERYWHERE.

Its one of the biggest cities in Ontario but nothing ever happens.

everyone keeps telling me this place is amazing and that i should feel lucky i already live here

if paying $2k/mo for a 1-bedroom apartment in a place with no sunshine is considered amazing, i might off myself.

Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec here.

I like it here, not too big, not too small. I can't stand big cities actually. I rage everytime I go to Montreal or Toronto.

>>7517861
HOLY SHIT im from london too!, white oaks over here

Basically everything the Seattle guy said.

representan

Houston, TX fag here.

I hate the humidity, and some of the more wannabe redneck/country hick faggots who drive around in over sized trucks.

Aside from that though it's okay.

Saginaw, Michigan

According to the FBI we have the highest crime rate per capita out of all the cities in the whole country. Yay!

Wayne, MI.

who the fuck lives here?
NOBODY.

Albany, NY

except for the fact that it's filled with government and political people, there's almost nothing noteworthy about it.

pic related, it's our claim to fame

>>7518186

I live in the GTA

S'alright, all my friends are in Guelph and Kitchener so it gets boring being up in the suburbs,

toronto itself is a pretty awesome city though

Austin, Texas

It's pretty okay I guess.

>>7518287
I like how people talk about Austin like it's this liberal oasis in a neo-con desert when in reality it's still like 50% old, white, and Reagan-jerking.

>>7517762
I'm from london as well - in SMH on campus

>>7518254

it's only awesome if you've got money to spend

otherwise stay in the suburbs... although i live in the city i'm pretty much home 24/7 because i can't afford to go out

Reno, NV

I like it. There's gambling like Vegas, but it also has really good outdoorsy stuff, like fishing, hiking, etc, unlike Vegas. Also, surprise! Nevada isn't actually inhospitable wasteland.

Malmo, Sweden.

Sandniggers everywhere.

215 reporting in noa

Jesus christ, your towns are just so fucking ugly. All you got is tall buildings. If you look closer, everythings ugly as fuck.

Shibuya here. Bartender at a pub here in Shibuya. I live with my bro, he is a JET teacher.

Lived here for 6 years. Fucking best time of my life here. I got used to the people. It is like going to the mall during Christmas time, all year around. More people, more girls to hook up with is the way I see it. shit is overpriced here, but besides that, it rocks here.

>>7518088
>>7517875
This is sad, I live on San Juan Island, WA and was accepted to colleges in both cities and was planning on moving there.....

Fuck it, I'll just go to Evergreen

>>7518186

Fuck yeah bump for T-dot
Don't know how some people can live in small towns without going crazy and shooting themselves.

Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Not that big of city, only like 220,000 in the entire area i think. Not a bad little place though. In the spring/summer months its actually quite beautiful, with all the trees and lots of bike trails. The women are good looking, but mostly the girlfriend types (but the type that don't want you) so you gotta look out into the party girl/druggie chicks for any female contact. Oh drugs are quite expensive here so if you like to traffic drugs check this city out. My least favorite thing, tough cops, every time i get pulled over i'm searched hard for thirty minutes or so.

>>7518186

TOfag here

I quite enjoy toronto, nothing like wandering down queen street making fun of all the weird shit gallery artists do.

>>7518248
Albanianfag here too. Where are you?

>>7518460
Dude, go to Seattle, the U-District is still bearable in terms of costs (but don't tell that to any east coast trust fundees). Evergreen is full of those really smelly 60s-style hippies.

London, England. I live in a block of flats and I love it. My neighbours are mostly second generation immigrants which means they all speak perfect english and fit in fine but they're still willing to break social taboos that say you should keep to yourself and never talk to strangers. When it's the Euros or the World Cup it goes insane here and there are great parties on almost every floor, I can't wait for this summer.

The only downside is everything is expensive as hell and 6 months without the sun makes me suicidal.

Philly here too. I've lived here for 6 months and I can't find a job, I've been yelled at and given dirty looks because Im white and living in South Philly, and there are artfag hipsters EVERYWHERE.
I would probally enjoy myself more if I had money

Portland, Maine here.

I'm the only sandfag here in this pit of Anglo-Americans, but most people don't seem to care. Thank God. A trip to Charleston, SC last summer was a real eye-opener.

No one really cares about this place. It's very quaint and cheap, I like it. Weather could be nicer, though. A music scene would be nice, too, but might attract hipsters who'd start raising mai rentz.

Senoia, GA

Small rural town, nothing ever happens, but it's a pretty cool place.

newport rhode island. google a picture im lazy.

rhode island, so lol taxes, shitty roads, shitty economy, etc. but the city itself is really nice and fun.

Chicago

WE PRESIDENT NOW

Birmingham, AL

:(

Miami, FL

sometimes i hate it here
sometimes i love it here

Haarlem, The Netherlands here.

Its pretty easy living here. Coffeeshops aplenty (known as Hemp City) and the highest concentration of pubs per person in the whole Netherlands. Its a little quiet for a city, but Amsterdam is 10 minutes away. If you ever want to go Amsterdam, book a hotel in Haarlem.

Bordeaux, France.
Kick ass city with a great tram system, plus theres everything i need within walking distance of my apartment! Great shopping centres but the night is filled with singing drunks.

>>7518739

Its so flat ;-;

Phoenix, AZ

boring as all holy fuck.... but i can;t imagine living anywhere else right now.

>>7518769

Welcome to old European cities, motherfucker.

>>7518739

Bordeaux = Full of posh scum.

Stroudsburg Pennsylvania.

WHAT THE FUCK

>>7518819

Indeed. What the fuck ARE you doing in non-Philadelphian Pennsylvania?

NYC here. I love this city so god damned much. Like, the way you feel about your crushes.

>>7518874
NYC is so schizo. It's entirely what parts of it you choose to notice. I could go to Bensonhurst and only see greasy Italians, or only see the hipsters who couldn't afford the upper west side or Williamsburg.

>>7518739

god, PLEASE tell me more about this place.
i've always dreamed of going here, and i'd love to have a personal account.

also, contributing:
hammond, louisiana.
welp. this is it. and a college.

Oakville, Ontario, Canada.

I hate it here. Fucking pretentious snobs.

Nis, Serbia
but i guess nobody cares

Liverpool, England here.

Horrible, dirty place full of horrible, dirty people. I hate it.

>>7519026

everything.

but really, the general attitude of the people, cost of living (i heard it was a more expensive place).

quality of grocers/restaurants is extremely important to me, too.

No MiddlesBROS?

Pittsburgh PA

Someway, somehow, I am less anti-social than most people in Pittsburgh, as they all walk while looking at their feet and refuse to make eye contact. For some reason, all the women dress like men. Also, all the food is GREASY AS FUCK.

But it's still cool. I have my own secret spot I go to every night and it is the coolest place to chill ever. Sometimes I get visitors.

There are a lot of black people...and polacks...

EAST LONDON, BUP BUP.

fuck year ...

Sandnesfag here. (a norwegian city near the coast)
shit sucks.

>>7519165

What's it like living in a gingerbread house?

Berlin. It'd be great if it weren't for soaring unemployment and those fucking punks.

>>7519144

Yeah right, you probably live near Hoxton square in a loft with the rest of your arsehole friends, wearing skinnyjeans and sucking dick for fun. FOR FUN.

hey OP im a phillyphag too. but i love this damn city. this is my city and its my home. i represent the illadelph for life. no other city has as much history, art, music and other shit as philly does. i live in the ghetto which i love. its got so much character.

>>7519054
attitude of the people is ok, people are not really friendly, but they do stay out of eachothers way, shopkeepers and vendors are always polite and helpfull. After dark however the city becomes a hive of drunk teenagers pissing the street and fighting eachother.
The restaurants and even the fast food there are excellent, very high french quality.
It is expensive to live there, rent is very high (my room mate is a doctor, im ok) and food is pretty expensive.

>>7519266

how's the ease (or maybe difficulty) of getting a job there, especially in my case?

would there be a more affordable albeit shittier place to live?

>>7519224
Oh ... fuck you little fucker ... oh the pain ...

Philly is a weird city. Some parts make you want to stay there for years and 2 blocks away you feel disgusted with yourself for being there.

Providence, RI. City is ok, not a whole lot to do. Plus I'm on the Eastside, which is overpopulated by snobby, unfriendly rich kids who go to Brown.

>>7519335

Providence is a shit hole. Actually, most of RI is a shithole nowadays.

vancouver canada here.

grey skies 9 months a year, rain, expensive as hell, and there's fucking chink faggots everywhere. Overated as fuck too, every asshole claims "it's the best city in the world" it really fucking isn't. I stayed in LA and Orlando for 8 months and it kicks the shit out canada all together.

Worse yet, vancouver's hosting the olympics so now we have fucktarded tourists that think they own the street. I fucking haye canaduh

brooklyn, NY

more drugs than i could ever need

half the city is niggaville and the other half is snottyhonky town

>>7519241
You're right, i live in covent garden, having some tea with my mum, who talks about foreign things.

>>7519377
It's really not as bad as it used to be. Though I find myself going to Boston a lot more frequently. Also, I came here from the NYC area for grad school, so I fucking HATE the bars closing at 1am thing. A lot of nights in NYC I wouldn't even leave to go out till 1.

>>7519502
Fellow RIfag here. I used to spend time in Providence, now I pretty much never leave URI until the dorms close, then spend all my time in Connecticut. That feeling of "not much to do" gets a lot worse the longer you stay here.

>>7519291
Getting a job here is a nightmare, dont even bother. Its a city with a mainly 20-30yo population, so everyone is out to get a job.
Unless you're already rich, i wouldnt move to Bordeaux

Lake Ronkonkoma, NY.

It's meh. The lake is pretty polluted and the place is getting horribly overcrowded. Apart from that it's nice. One of the lowest crime rates in the country I believe.

>>7519516
Yeah needless to say, I'll be getting the hell out of here as soon as I graduate either to move back to NYC or DC. How is URI though? I've only driven past once, never have gone to hang out there.

>>7519530

dreams: shattered.

although it seems like france is like that all around.
and i refuse to go to paris.

>>7519610
It's a good place overall, but there's a shitload of bros here. The engineering and med/pharmacy people are cool, and the campus can function like a small city, so I like it here.

San Francisco, CA. Born there, going back when I'm done with college - my heart will always lie there. Incredible city. Shame it's so expensive.

>>7519743
SF sounds like hell, financially. Does everyone there who didn't buy their house in the 50s just live paycheck-to-paycheck?

>>7519089
i live in pittsburgh. wheres your secret spot? youve intrigued me.

Sion in the state of Valais in Switzerland.

Fuck yeah.

Copenhagen,
I've been out of this country a lot, but I still find the people have a type of down to earth, self-ironic charm. Things are expensive as fuck and a half compared to the US, and it rains a lot.

anyone here from/ever been to Santa Fe or Albuquerque? I'm really interested in moving there.

>>7519957 dfdf
HOLA PENDEJO

>>7519957
Why don't you move to NYC or Seattle like most 20somethings these days?

>>7519620
I disagree, smaller towns in Charente (Angouleme for example) can be very cheap to live in. Be wary of the population however, Angouleme is full of shit-heads.

San Antoniofag here. I like it, for the most part. It can be a little boring at times, but it's what I grew up with, so I've grown to appreciate it. Also, fuckwin mexican food.

I'm moving to Austin next year, though, and looking forward to the change in scenery.

>>7519728
Yeah one night I accidentally ended up at a Providence College bar night. Total brofest.

Brighton, UK

When I moved here at 14, I felt a strange kind of freedom. Not in a gay sense, which would be fitting for the town, but in that there was a wonderful feeling of weirdness here. There was a distinct lack of tracksuit-knifery; just a lot of hippies, students and gay people. You could be odd here, because no one gave a fuck.

Been here six years and I still love it here. It's lost some of it's spark, but I still wouldn't want to live anywhere else on these fucking isles.

>>7519996
expensive. too much rain in seattle. NYC is maybe, its intimidating though because of its size and everything else. plus i fucking hate snow.

>>7520009
How does geography play a role in expenses? Is Normandy more expensive than Lorraine? etc

York, UK. I love it here. Went to university here and stayed on after. It's a lovely little city. The tourists and drunk students can be a bit annoying though.

>>7520133
dont really know why, it seems the further North you get, the more it costs to live.

>>7520230

the same goes for america, so that makes sense.

but, living in smaller and cheaper places, wouldn't you be pretty far away from all the good nightlife?

North of Brisbane. It's alright I guess. Nice lifestyle.

>>7519050
Eh, I like it here. I'll admit there are a few people that should be shot but I think that's true of anywhere.

>>7519752
No idea. My family bought a house there in the 50s. But I am fairly certain that you are either making a lot of money or, yeah, living paycheck-to-paycheck.

Saginaw, MI.

In my area its quiet. It's mostly old white men and women in the suburbs. But honestly, I am becoming scared to go to the mall, or even to a local foodstore. All of these hoodlums/wiggers/gangstas whatever the hell you want to call them, are ruining our city. There are these goddamn stupid children running around with guns, thinking its cool to be in gangs and do drugs. These fucking rats come onto our property and fuck around with it all the time because "dat rich whit man derserrrves it fo bein so greedy".

You Eurofags can sit here showing off with your pretty buildings. But I can walk out my door and get a pizza at 5am.

Portsmouth, UK.

Hardly any attractive sane people here. All fat chav slobs with 15 kids on the dole drinking white lightning out of 2 litre bottles, or loudmouthed drunk students oblivious to everyone but themselves. The city is pretty rundown and lacks any kind of culture or locally run events. Good times.

>>7520317
Yeah but I don't want a pizza at 5am.

Chicago, southside, reporting in. I like Chicago. I just live in a shitty part of it.

Saint-Petersburg, Russia

I kinda hate it here. It's a depressing city with lots of crumbling old buildings and streets, almost constantly overcast, humid and cold.

>>7518675
Yurpyurp! I live not 10 blocks away from the Obama house, so it's pretty crazy. Local walgreens is still full of Barack Obama shit, like a pen which gives excerpts from the state of the union...

>>7520337
Then you're not the kind of person who should be on 4chan.

>>7520258
Nightlife has never been a concern of mine, im not a party goer, but if you want bars and clubs and parties, theres no better place than Bordeaux. Angouleme is pretty dead.

>>7520371

are the two relatively close enough to each other to affordably go back and forth?

my google-fu is weak, though the first result said 102.someodd kilometers.

Ahhhghhh, the suburbs suck.

>>7520406
about 6hrs by car.

Beautiful but self righteous and overly wealthy.
Oakville.

I live in cincinnati.
Pros:
- has its own baseball, football, hockey, etc teams.
- extremely chilled housing market, a decent apartment can be $100 a month.
- the music scene and party scene is great (a million epic bars and clubs and even good jazz clubs)
- cincinnati is a college city
- LOTS of locally owned stores
- you get to experience all four seasons in cincinnati
- we have a bus system that runs frequently as fuck (like busses every 15 min - 1 hour) that can take you EVERYWHERE.

Cons:
- too many niggers
- desperately need of industrial renewal, you look around, and you'll see 1/2 the buildings are abandoned factories
- lots and lots and lots of crime
- people can be pretty rude
- it's hard/impossible to scam fast food joints in rough neighborhoods
- nigger parents are stupid and raise bratty annoyin kids

overall, i like it.

>>7520629
i heard it's full of neo-cons

Minneapolis:
Pros: Fun intelligent reasonably sized city.
Cons: FUCKING COLD

Glasgow, Scotland

Worst fucking place in the world. If you ever wondered what it's like to sit next to a tramp who's just pissed himself while being tormented by chavs in the freezing cold, then come here. Oh, and if you hate talking to people, come here too. The most you can say to someone is "hi" before you get branded a poof and offered a square go.

>>7520659
Greetings from Seattle.

When hipsters got priced out of San Francisco, they came here.

When they're priced out of here, reports say they're coming your way.

Buy a house soon, Anon.

>>7520644
yeah, all the ghetto niggers are liberal as fuck, and everyone who isn't a ghetto nigger is an anarchist punk or a neocon hipster.

the only difference is that the ghetto liberals aren't pretentious about their beliefs, they're just uneducated/ignorant and are brought up to believe 'da mayn be a try'n ta hold us dauwn.'

the hipster college kids are pretentious as fuck and try to pretend their opinion is somehow more educated than everyone else's.

>>7520692
Heh, I heard Glasgow is basically a white Detroit.

>>7520742
This city is already infested with hipsters, though having been to Seattle I can say that you have a lot more.

Being a bit of a hipster myself I'm not really in a position to complain though, and would actually love to live in Seattle.

Aberdeen.

It's got lots of spikey spires. Bad place to fall out of a plane onto.

Other than that, no complaints.

Pittsburghfag reporting in.

Pros: We're not Philadelphia!
Penguins / Stillers
Carnegie Museum network
Phipps Conservatory (G20 was held there)
Home to literally dozens of universities (Pitt, Carnegie-Mellon, Duquesne are the top 3 - I go to Pitt)

Cons: Basically a dead boom town in the middle of nowhere
the Pirates are a region-wide disgrace

>>7519235

berlin here, too.
city's great, there is EVERYTHING here.
but I feel very unsafe at night.

>>7520894
Forgot picture, herp derp.

A shot from the top of Mount Washington. They have these concrete platforms hanging off the cliff about 50 feet out in the middle of the air where you can go and sit or take photos. It's pretty neat.

Also, I forgot to list that George Romero is absolutely in love with this city - most of his zombie movies were shot here. In fact, I've been in the dormitories where Diary of the Dead was filmed.

>>7520894

Pitt's Cathedral of Learning lit up like a fucking stained-glass window at night. I've been up at the top; the view is made of equal parts gold and win.

Omaha, Nebraska.

It sucks dick.

Oslo, Norway.

It's alright, but lots of junkies, trash on the streets etc. Would fancy moving to Gothenburg, which I have been thinking more and more about recently.

>>7521028
Most robots would kill a thousand babies to live there.

I just don't see the appeal, though.

Zagreb.

Pretty average in every way.

Amsterdam. The only city in the Netherlands worth living in. Beautiful, lively and a great clubbing facilities. Expensive housing is an issue here, but I lucked out. :-)

>>7521036

Then we are two.

Buffalo, NY. What the fuck am I doing here?

>>7518604
Oh I love Portland! Very quaint cutsie little city. You're right though, I think hipsters would have an absolute field day if they found it

>>7520767

It fucking is.

horribletruthblox

>>7518186

Centre of universe, fuck yeah.

Always loved living here, wouldn't mind living here for the rest of my life.

>>7521139

You're going to Buff State or UB and then leaving.

It's nice here in Nuremberg. It has a castle. And an Imax. Many people are German though.

Greenpoint, Brooklyn:

Absolute shithole, but the best shithole in the world. Close to everything noteworthy in NYC, and has the best goddamn meat in the world. People are saying that it's the next trendy town in New York, but if that's true I'm getting the fuck out of there before it ends up like Williamsburg.

NYC sucks. Fucking crowded as a mother fucker.

Limafag here. South America FUCKING SUCKS.

>>7521498

Everytime I go to Williamsburg I want to pull out a gun and shoot every single one of those hipster faggots.

>>7521738
I grew up there until I was 12 or so. I remember it fondly.

>>7521498

New York neighborhood politics are ever so fascinating. What happened to Williamsburg?

>>7521809
Gentrification, mothafucka.

>>7518990


Akron here too (Kenmore) Dont forget The Black Keys and Devo are from here too.

>>7521809

Basically what happened was that the town became a center for poor, lower middle class people thanks to the low rent and small population of the town. Eventually, the trust fund hipsters caught on to the apparent glory to the lower class, and started moving in, around I'd say 2002. Since they had money and high standards of living, they fixed up the neighborhood and basically drove the price of living up like crazy. The entire Lower East Side is practically a tourist trap now, and has the highest rent in the city besides 5th Avenue and fucking Central Park.

Makes me want to fucking PUKE.

Atlanta. The nicer parts are cool, but everywhere else it sure is hipster and nigger. My two least favorite demographics.

>>7520877

Granite city represent

Pittsburgh fucking Pennsylvania.

I'm only back here because I dropped out of school. The only reason I passed high school was so I could get out of this city. Shit sucks.

It's not that bad, though. We also have a pretty high murder rate, but I'm a basement dweller so I'm basically safe.

>>7522050

Eriefag here. I can confirm that Pittsburgh is the worst city in the nation.

I commend this Anon for not pledging blind allegiance to his shitty city like the rest of those shit suckers do.

btw Erie is like Pittsburgh Jr. because everyone here thinks they are from pittsburgh and it's their dream to one day move there. I too am planning on moving.

>>7522078

OOPS THAT SOUNDED BAD

I meant I am planning on moving FAR FROM PITTSBURGH not moving INTO pittsburgh. meep

London, England. Live in the east, work in central. Best city in the world bar none.

Waterford, Ireland...tiny compared to where you guys live its an alright place.

London. Homerton, Hackney.
Today I watched a man kick his wife or child to the floor on a dark balcony. The rich areas are so insulated as to be water-tight against the filthy populace. The poor areas let people flow in and out of them like blowing wind. I don't know how to feel about it.

>>7522078
>worst city

Actually, there are some interesting people and cool things going on here. There's a decent art scene and a lot of interesting people, plus a lot of green technology, medical science, etc. The problem is all the old-school hardcore blue collar Pittsburghers. They have this sense of negativity and entitlement that's draining to be around. Like if you walk into a store or whatever and all the employees store their conversation to scowl at you because you didn't grow up in the same neighborhood for forty years. During the time I was not being a failure, I moved to various other cities and every time I was in public I found myself thinking "holy shit, people are nice here." No matter where it was. Ha.

Well, fuck, I'm still young, I'll recover and get the fuck out of here.

FLIP FLIP FLIPADELPHIA

Long Beach, CA

75 and sunny right now. cant go wrong with that.

Zadar,Croatia representin

Oldsmar, Florida.

Fucking alligators all over the whole goddamn place scaring kids and harassing my dog. Also lol 100 degree summers with 300 percent humidity.

Right next door to Tampa, so we can enjoy the happening city life without living through the hilarious crime rates.

Tulsa, OK.

Pretty much anytime somebody wants to reference a city in Oklahoma, they mention Tulsa. Probably because Oklahoma City doesn't roll off the tongue the same way, and those are the only two cities in this goddamn state.

Living here is ok, I guess. I read once we're in the like the top 5 for homosexuals per capita. We also were in the top 10 best cities to live in like a year or two ago.

The downtown scene for young folks is really starting to pick up despite the economy, and it means the whole area is kind of being revitalized. I am probably going to move away when I graduate uni, though.

I like it here, but I need to change perspective.

Victoria BC

Alright alright, this whole island is shit in general, but Victoria has the following:

PROS: Cool buildings, yo!
Relatively low crime.

CONS: A metric fuckton of old people
The nightlife sucks unless you're a fist pumping Guido-type
University of Victoria is mediocre, try Camosun homie.
It's the playground for the preppy private school kids. The natives make you rage as well. Also, the street people harass you.

>>7522332
move to vancouver bro

its so much better here
fuck old people

Cairo, Egypt

I love it.
It has everything..it has all colours of life.
But you need some money to have fun here

Cambridge, UK.

Bikes everywhere.
Lots of students.
Fuckload of Asian tourists.

Not a huge amount to do unless you know the right people.

White suburban fag here who wants to move to Chicago, but doesn't have much money and doesn't want to be accused of making it harder for existing residents to afford to live. Basically I need a cheap place to live, but don't wanna be a colonizer.

OK so how to prevent gentrification?

A few ideas...

1. White people just stay in white neighborhoods. Might work....but most white hoods are too expensive and it would basically mean more segregation, continued suffering in the ghettos and more power in the white areas.

2. White people move to affordable hoods, but rob banks, wheetpaste the buildings, shoot at cops, do etc things to keep the rich out and keep property values low. (sounds like fun, effective, obviously dangerous)

3. Community land trust. Lets people buy and rent space cheaply, improve it, but since they lease the land from the trust, they are not allowed to speculate on it and raise the property value. This seams like the perfect solution, but it requires enough capital to buy property and get the thing going....basically you need rich sympathetic white liberals to help start it, and I don't know any.

winnipeg cum dumpster here.......... were #1 crime in canada

Also FUCKIng COLD

halifax, nova scotia

i love it, it's beautiful in the summer, people are nice, there's a decent arts and indie music scene if you're into that and the city has a lot of potential. however there's a lot of shitty things about it too - not much to do, weak club scene, useless city council, shitty public transit, high level of crime per capita to name a few - but to me it's home, it's where i grew up and despite that i've been to cities that are definitely more interesting like montreal, L.A. and boston, i'll always have a soft spot for halifax. also it's by far the best canadian city east of quebec.

Calgary, Alberta

I'm finally starting to see how greedy and money-grubbing people really are in this city, but besides that, its a great place. Good weed, people and parties.

>>7522692
Dude, don't even worry, Chicago needs gentrification.

Gentrification is only community-ruining when the place wasn't in need of it (Seattle, San Francisco, etc)

>>7518402
Spare a thought for those less fortunate who have to live in Gothenburg then. It's not fair that gbg is so ugly ;_;

>>7517875
I agree with this. Not from Seattle, but live in the general area. Everyone who I know who has moved here from the midwest thinks it's fucking heaven.
I hate it. Not enough sun.

>>7520367
OH MOTHER OF FUCK. I go away for a couple hours and I miss a University of Chicago post? And I don't think you're one of the dudes I know already either... You still around?

Ithaca, NY.

-Lots of Asians because of Cornell.
-Lots of hipsters and potheads because of Ithaca College.
-Anyone who was born here and is currently 40 years old and living here is likely a crackhead.
-Lots of eco-hippie-fags who are extremely pretentious.
-It's on a lake which is pretty awesome.
-Lots of vineyards nearby.

Btw, the picture is just of Cornell University and a bit of Cayuga Lake. Couldn't find one of the whole city.

Small CA city, without L.A. fags, but close enough to go there if you really want to.

Clean air, cute surfer girls...

ANOTHER Pittsburghfag here.

I quite like Pittsburgh. It has some cool culture. The sports fanatics bullshit gets a little annoying though. The colleges and universities are decent. I plan on going to college in either NYC or LA though, since I want to be a screenwriter.

Boston, MA

Pros:
Awesome sports teams
LOTS of shit to do
Cool food
Generally good culture
Decent transport system
Acceptable crime rate

Cons:
Sucks in the winter because paving system is shit
Surrounded by some pretty shitty towns
Kinda crowded
People with the faggy accents

>>7519144
DUN NO FAM MAKIN BARE MONEY LYK ALL DAY NIGGER FUCK DA PUSSY BOY SOUTH WE REAL GRIMY EAST SIDE NIGGERS BRRRRRRAP

>>7519241
This too.
Thistoobloxkowijawoiejdflaiwefa

Although i live in a suburb of Chicago no one wants to hear about that so ill comment on Chicago:

Pros:
-Lots of sports teams, blackhawks are awesome now
-Fun events ie. Taste of Chicago
-Museums are nice, usually have nice exhibits

Cons:
-Niggers everywhere (honestly probably not a problem but im an ignorant white suburban kid)
-Sports teams do "ok" or suck most of the time

Los Angeles. Too lazy to get a pic.

Pros:
-lots to do/nightlife
-rarely rains
-job opporunities
-...that's it.

Cons:
-hipster assholes (mosly fat mexican chicks in skinny jeans and plaid shirts)
-Mexicans. Especially the men. Fuckin' pervs.
-Expensive
-Retarded drivers
-fake people
-"actors"/pretentious assholes
-hot
-pollution
-Asians (TERRIBLE DRIVERS and are usually snobby/pretentious and won't talk to you if you don't drive a lexus.)
-Parking fees up the ass


So, yeah. Don't move to LA and make the same mistake I did.

I didn't know there were so man burghers here. I am from an hour south of Pittsburgh in Fayette County. Crime is high, poverty is high, but fuck I love it. I live in a rural area too so I get to shoot my guns. As far as cities I have been to, Pittsburgh is the only one that is ok.

Some small town an hour away from Los Angeles.

You know how the rest of the country swear that California is some Liberal Mecca...well this place is proof that that is not true.

I fucking hate it here....

>>7517762

I'm from Philadelphia too! I don't really care much about the people who get killed, tbh.

I go to school in University City and work near city hall, so I'm pretty sheltered. My parents own a store selling beer and cigarettes to black people, so they're usually too drunk or too high to move.

lafayette Indiana, wiggers, rednecks everywhere. everyone is poor and no one graduates high school.

Pittsburgh fag here .... fucking love the place, but you'll never be without a nigger...

>>7523657

"They" being the blacks from my area, not my parents

>>7518222
Ex-Saginastyfag here, you forgot to mention how were ranked 2nd worst small city in the country to try and find a job.

~20yo, recently moved here from Norway.

It's alright, dunno why people portray it as "best city evar."

St. Petersburg FL, moved here on a whim;
Pros
Awesome Beaches
30 minutes from Tampa, but gigantic bridge to stop urbanization from spreading here
Cool restaurants
Lots of Vegetation
Rent is for a 1br is ~$5XX a month

Cons
Lots of homeless people
Lots of crazy people
Have to go to Tampa for a "real" city

Chicagofag here. niggers hipsters polacks and mexicans.
Also shittons of snow.

>>7519753


Yea I'm interested as well

>>7523922
Mostly-white population and sleek-looking skyline. Those are the only reasons.

Do you happen to be living in Ballard?

>>7517762
Hey, another Phillyfag! I didn't know there were other phillybots. It's a pretty rad city, if you stay out of the shitty areas...which are numerous.

>>7524359
Me too.
God, there are lots of Pittsburghfags in this thread.

>>7518819
East Stroudsburg University?

I have a friend that goes there

Hey Phillyfags, thinking about moving there soon.

Worth it?

>>7524376
lol no.. Actually didn't even know that this place was so scandinavia-influenced before I came here.

>>7524434
For what?

Yeah, some places are fucking lovely. Others, well, you may get stabbed for crack money.

>>7524359
>>7524391
>>7519753

Not same bro, but try this place out. Wonderful place.

http://www.yelp.com/biz/michaels-pizza-bar-and-restaurant-pittsburgh

>>7524434
It depends on what you're leaving behind.

>>7524451
Probably going to UArts while I'm out there, but once I drop out/finish school there I was thinking of staying cause I know a lot of people there already and have a lot of friends that are interested in the city.
>>7524453
Ever been to York, PA? Not leaving much behind.

>>7524495
University city is a very pleasant place.If you're hipsterish (I assume so because of Uarts), you will find many people to fit in with.

>>7524524
I guess you could say I'm hipsterish, yeah.
Thanks fellow robot!

Tulsa, OK


Low cost of living, quiet, clean. only thing to watch out for is the bible thumpers.


Little to do after 9pm unless you like country bars.

my best friend goes to Uarts, i visit all the time. plenty of hipster parties all over.

Bogota Colombia

pros:
great food
nice smart people
hot as fuck hipster chicks
cheap by global standards
good nightlife

cons:
expensive food
pretentious people
pretentious hipster chicks
very expensive by Colombian standards
clubs filled with greater than thou attitude rich kids

>>7524403
stepbrother goes there.

>>7524740
Hey, my mom is from Barranquilla, but I grew up in the US and have only ever visited family on the coast. Is there any place in particular in Bogota I should visit?

>>7524881

well Im pretty much a Colombian basement dweller but I can still give you some suggestions:

if you're into getting high with hypocrite hippies and rich hipsters who think they got life figured out, like listening to shitty classic rock, getting robbed, colonial architecture, annoying german backpackers and stupid street art La Candelaria is the place for you

if you like rolling E with annoying rich hipsters and preppy fags who think they got life figured out, getting robbed, buying a pair of levis for us$300, snorting cocaine etc then La Zona Rosa is the place for you.

if you'd like a nice view of the city while getting robbed/raped/killed and enjoy colonial churches, sky-lifts and funiculars then Monserrate is the place for you.

if you like prostitutes, getting killed, street vendors, garbage, dirty skyscrapers, good food and smog then downtown is the place for you.

if you like gay sex, indie music, skinny jeans, ad everything gay and hipster then Chapinero is the place for you

if you like poverty, girls that put out easily and cheap food then The South is the place for you.

if you like extreme poverty and getting kidnapped then the outskirts is the place for you.

>>7525143
>if you like gay sex, indie music, skinny jeans, ad everything gay and hipster then Chapinero is the place for you

FUCK YEAR, gracias buddy.

>>7525182

de nada amigo, you can always drop by my home and listen to some shitty indie and smoke some hooka

robo-bamp

Not posting the name of my city, but it's a small town of 8,000 people nestled in the mountains and forests of North-Eastern USA. Everyone here has a hick accent. 85% of residents are unemployed and most of those receiving government aid. Almost everyone smokes pot. There is never any violent crime, because everyone is too stoned to get violent. The only common 'hard drug" is acid, if you can even consider that a hard drug. Everyone is incredibly friendly and knows one-another and helps each-other out. When I moved in,three of the neighbors help me carry furniture. An unknown person shovels my side-walk and brushes the snow off of my car every morning before I wake up. I'm gay, and no one seems to have a problem with it.

I'd give it an 8/10. The only reason it loses points is because there's no gay population, so I'm single. Also the women mature very slowly here. They act like they're high-schoolers until they hit their 40's.

I see University of Chicago people in the thread. Are you guys still around? I don't attend U of C, but I live less than a mile away.

In response to OP's question, I love everything about Chicago except for the laws, specifically our lack of a proper castle doctrine/stand your ground law, and our lower-than-shit tier gun laws. If you just changed our laws for those two things to Indiana's laws, I'd live here for the rest of my life.

Dude, if I lived in Philly, I'd be going to Pat's King of Steaks every goddamned day. I'd probably die of a heart attack in a decade or so, but fuck, it would be so worth it.

I live in Seattle and I fucking hate it so bad. I can't wait to get out.

Baltimore.

This is, without a hint of hesitation or doubt on my part, the worst fucking place I have ever lived in my entire life.

I've lived in several states, in very different regions. My god, Baltimore is a miserable peice of shit city.

It's probably one step above fucking Detroit.

Fuck this city. Fuck it with a giant spike encrusted nazi dildo.

>>7526647
What's makes you hate it so much?

>>7526729
As a fellow Baltimoron and not the poster you're responding to, it's pretty much indescribable, you just have to live here or stay for a while and soak it up in all its shit-encrusted glory.

St louis here

the arch is a work of unparalleled architectural genius, but that's pretty much all we have... other than gentrification and rotting infrastructure

>>7526729

It's dirty. The people are the most self-centered and appealingly rude I've seen in my entire life, even for the East Coast. Poverty is EVERYWHERE, even in the downtown area's. It has some of the worst traffic in the country, which is just as much because the drivers are so asinine as it is because of the shitty freeway system. The laws suck, the taxes are ridiculous, the cops don't do much of anything.

I can only see some asshole on the free way match speed with the guy trying to merge on the freeway to the point that he's forced into the grass so many times...

>>7526759

>appealingly rude

Appallingly, sorry.

>>7526759
Haha fuck it man, I love the city, it's dirty, it's rude, it's unapologetic, but fuck it man it's fuckin Charm City and it's my home. Also holy shit Charm City, could any city in the world have the most mismatched nickname?

>>7526787

I wasn't raised here. I guess I have an excuse for wanting it to slide into the bay.

>>7526800
Yea true, if you weren't raised here I'm sure it's like living in hell itself.

>>7526821

No, it doesn't snow in hell.

>>7526861
It's the fuckin Snowmageddon, the Snowpocalypse niggaaaaa, dere's so much snow down'air in Bawlmer hon.

>>7526887
Dat fuckin accent, god it's like cheesegraters on your eardrums.

Might aswell post as another PIttsburgher. Everything has basically been said, but to all pittsburghers you should go to Vincent's Pizza. They have a few locations on the east side. Don't get extra cheese, dear god don't get extra cheese.

Get.Me.The.Fuck.Out.Of.Des.Moines.Iowa.

FUCK THIS PLACE BLOWS

Bakersfield California
Its way the fuck too hot, its too polluted, and its boring as hell unless you are into Nu Metal or Country music.
No Fun.

>>7527059
Dont you guys have, like, a big ass thermometer or some shit?

>>7526569
University of Chicago reporting for duty, 1101 E56th, I live in Bigbird. Feels bad man.

rincon , puerto rico

down there by the beach are some cow pastures with good shrooms

>>7527074
That would be Baker, bro.
Bakersfield is not so interesting as to have a giant thermometer.

>>7520985

Oh Hai! I'm from Lincoln

>>7527080

BJfag reporting in. Hum is a bitch.

>>7527085
I want to stick my penis in that wave it looks so smooth and delicious.

Don't live in Harrisburg, but most people don't recognize anywhere in PA except for Philly, Pitt, or Hershey.

Currently down the river in Middletown, which is more boring and average than the name implies

The fairs on the river are fun though.

Kansas City here. Moved here from Omaha for college.

Jesus I had no idea just how bad niggers/nigger areas are. I thought we had ghetto in Omaha. That was pussy shit compared to the third world country that surrounds my school. Hearing gunshots a block away at least once a month has definitely jaded me a bit towards the world.

That said, it is nice finally living in a place with a genuine downtown and nightlife.

>>7527112
Yeah I'm a Villanova fag. I know exactly what you mean

>>7527080
I just applied to your school. gpa's around 3.8 unweighted, 2180 on SATs, two varsity sports, 6 total AP classes by the time of graduation, play in a bunch of bands (school and otherwise), and wrote what I thought were some decent essays. think I'll get in?

>>7527115
Riverside here, wanna hook up?

I live 10 minutes outside of a country town called Woombye in Australia. It's a quaint little place about an hour from our state's capital city, Brisbane. We have a supermarket, bakery, post office, real estate agency, newsagent, two hairdressers, a tennis club (my uncle owns this), a lawn bowls club, a pub and a train station. It hasn't got everything I need, but I still like it here nonetheless.

>>7527133

Other U of C guy here, acceptance rates have dropped. So, it's not a guarantee, but you have a good chance. Were your essays "creative"? (As the admissions people seem to like.)

>>7527148
>>7527133
I applied there, didn't get in. Hence, I'm at Villanova

>>7527148
my common app essay was definitely about a creative topic, and though some of my supplement essays were about more mundane subjects, I think I managed to be creative about those mundane subjects, if that makes sense.

>>7527102
Oh gawd. Same. Paper due in 18 minutes. El disastre.

>>7527163

cool story bro

But seriously, good luck with that. If you do get in, and as long as you don't get sucked into the whole "where fun comes to die hurrhurr lol" mindset you'll turn out okay.

>>7527133
Dunno man. I got in with worse stats, but then, the applicant rate doubled this year, so who knows.

>>7527171

Are you the Max P guy? Which house are you in?

Norman Oklahoma. I don't really like it due to the weather. The summers are hot, last summer it got to 105 for a while and the winters are pitiful. We get snow a few days during the winter but it usually melts the next day. Other than the weather it's pretty nice though.

>>7527202
Yea, Central. I'm in Graham. You know anyone here? You know a guy named Jared in BJ?

>>7527212

Don't know a Jared. My RA was in Graham last year.

>>7527173
yeah, I'm definitely not interested in spending the next 4 years of my life in a state of fun death.

>>7527227
It's really not. It kinda slows down with winter quarter, but I rarely find myself bored/not happy. Lots of parties, some chill people, all I need.

>>7527227

You sure as hell don't have to kill yourself over academics. I party pretty much every weekend and don't study excessively and get pretty good grades. There's a good amount of work but it tends to be clustered together, i.e. you'll be really busy for a few days and then a long time of not doing much. At least in my experience.

perth west australia

people callits dullsville but its alright, you have too know where the funshit happens, cos itdont smak you in the face like it does in sydney or melbuorne

>>7527222
Ah, cool beans. What year are you?

>>7527259

First year, things have been pretty cool so far. Mostly trying to figure out my life goals and how to get there. How about you?

>>7527245
>>7527244
well it sounds awesome. now I just have to get in, I guess...

>>7527265
Same. First year. Which hume are you in?

>>7527275

Greek Thought and Lit. Professor last quarter was fucking airhead BITCH but I like my prof this quarter a lot more. Paper due next week and I'm already stressing about it.

I'm in Coulter BTW.

edmonton, alberta here.

It's mostly okay, crime's not bad.
Only issue I really have is the fucking natives.
There are so many of those goddamn drunks in Edmonton's slums. Not a problem though, I'm in a nicer area.

Calgary is a bigger hellhole than Edmonton.

>>7527287
Ah. I'm in Language and Human. Not bad, professor is chill as hell. I wrote my last paper about lolcats. Fun stuff.

What other classes are you in? I'm in Latin and a Biotopic.

>>7527355

I'm in Calc 152 (fuck that shit, won't have to take it next quarter) and Music Criticism and Analysis (it's pretty cool).

>>7520313
Hahaha >>7518222 here. Don't be such a pussy. Have you ever even seen the east side?

>>7527355
>I wrote my last paper about lolcats. Fun stuff.

>>7527134
I don't even know what a Riverside is, but sure.

>>7520985
FUCK YOU NIGGER OMAHA IS THE BEST CITY EVER.
Yeah it's boring but at least it's a pleasant place to live.

>>7527099
Lol, Lincoln's a shithole. I saw nothing but decay and white trash every time I was there. The downtown's alright but everywhere else sucks.

>>7524712
What the fuck, WHAT THE FUCK.

Another Tulsan, in this thread.

Also, go to the Sound Pony or the Crystal Pistol, on main right next to Cain's.

They are usually full of hipsters or yuppies depending on the night, but they always have good music.

>>7527080
>>7527102
>>7527148
>>7526569 here.
I live in one of the two really large buildings that split 55th street down the middle.

>>7527976

Oh god, those? I hate them because they split the fucking street down the middle and fuck up the traffic and pedestrian crossing and shit. Fuck.

>>7527990
Yeah, that bothers most people, but they do actually serve well to slow down traffic. My mom lived in Hyde Park back before the buildings were built, and apparently drivers would treat 55th street like a mini highway, making it a deathtrap to cross.

>>7528022

Makes sense. I walk up to 53rd quite often (Kimbark and Hyde Park Records, wooo) so I usually go up University and take the 171 back to my dorm.

I also hate those talking pedestrian signs at 55th & Lake Park. WALK SIGN, LAKE PARK. WALK SIGN, LAKE PARK. FUCK.

>>7528049
You think you hate them? I can hear them from my fucking window at 2 AM when I'm trying to sleep. They are the scourge of the Earth.

Also, have you been to Dr. Wax Records? It's in the remnants of Harper Court, near the Starbucks on 53rd.

>>7528105

Yeah, it's pretty good. They're closing soon, I read it in an article...

Dallas, Texas
I swear to god, half the labels are in fucking Spanish. I've been in three hit and run accidents with fucking illegal beaners. This is on top of the fair share of niggers.

>>7523628
HA , I used to live in hesperia, and actually did mlitary time around Baker and BArstow. Talk about shit holes.
Anyways, El PAso here.
I'm new, so can't really comment on good or bad except for the obvious.
The bad is that the pregnancy rate is INSANE!
The drivers are fuckin INSANE!
The people seem nice enough. It';s 80 percent latino population but that doesn't really mean anything since they mostly act/look white anyways.
I wish i was getting out more though. I'm slowly making friends, but it's a challenge starting over.

vancouver, bc, canada

i love this city. rain and coulds are my thing. wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

Chattanooga, Tennessee.

I love it here. I've been all over the world but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Not too big but not small enough that there isn't anything to do.

See Rock City!

>>7522332
Smithers BC fag here. Used to live in Van, now maybe gonna go to Camosun.

Bognor Regis.


He's got the right idea.

Wollongong, Australia
A beautiful little coastal town with enough urban sprawl and cultural cringe to not be just metropolis or Anytown, Australia.
There's everything I could possibly want here, but it's a bit better than Sydney because I can actually drive here. Plus less crime and our women do for some reason look fantastic.....plus our city at sunset is beautiful.

>>7518365

It's actually a pretty hip place to live, isn't it? I came for college, but am gonna stay even after I graduate!

Saint Louis here. It's a dead city, overrun by niggers and rednecks. The suburbs are nice, but try too hard to be a "real" city. There's absofuckinglutely nothing to do around here, unless you like getting mugged.

I want out.
