it's kinda like the rest of the country, in that it gets shittier and shittier the higher the population density. it's just that there's more areas with low density here.

Chicago is a cool city despite what everyone says about it. That being said, do not venture into the south or west ghettos/projects unless you wanna get shot. Even then there is zero reason to go there, there is nothing of interest to even do in those areas.

Ohiofag here. Move to one of the three C cities, Cincinnati, Cleveland or Columbus, maybe Akron if you are not very lucky. Dayton and Toledo are both shit, though

South Midwest Louisville, KY faggot here. I moved here from NY and so far I like the change of pace. Only problem is anywhere past 9th street is a crime filled ghetto but all in all it's a fairly comfy city. I like how cheap restaurants and cigarettes are, so there's that.

Ohio's better than I expected...
I would advise against moving to Columbus, it's rapidly growing, and the parking and traffic suck. I work downtown as a bug salaryman.
Cincinnati's my preferred city, it's much more laid back if you live in the suburbs.

Stay the fuck away from the hellscape that is Youngstown. The food is good, but you'll off yourself in months or less.

Climate:
due to god knows what, as the rest of the world gets hotter, we get cooler summers. It has never been above 80 deg for the past 3 weeks in most of the region. In Chicago, the high has never been above 72 deg
Jobs:
Depending on what you want to do, move to a city. If you live anywhere else the only employment opportunities are old folks homes and farmhands
Other than that, you can pretty much find any job in the largest cities.
Where to move:
I would recommend just picking a city, moving in to get a job, then moving to the suburbs.
Ideally move to Wisconsin, Illinois, or Ohio due to the (relitively) strong economies.
You could move to Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, or Iowa, but it is more difficult to get a job.
Specifically with Indiana and Michigan which are going through some tough times.
Pros:
+ Temperate Climate
+ Being forgoten about on the news
+ Low activity, but not low enough not to have 24/7 stores
+ good transportation options (specifically near chicago)
+ Low Crime*
Cons:
- Being forgotten about on the news
- Some areas Gary IN*, (South/West) Chicago IL*, Detroit MI*, are basically war zones
- low/no jobs outside of cities
- cities are full of spics and niggers
* As long as you stay out of these areas you have zero chances of getting shot. Also, even though these cities are listed, any town that had (only the car industry, and not industries like trucking) anything to do with the manufacturing industry has since become simmilar to this

KY anon here:
Move to Lexington or Richmond, they're far more comfy, have the same jobs, and have far less niggers than Louisville. There's really no reason to live in Louisville when Lexington exists, unless you're non-white, then stay in Louisville please.

Dreadful. Winter is physically painful, summer is humid and hot. It is beautiful, but only if you live in the middle of nowhere with no Internet or stores nearby. Also all the beautiful land you see and would like to explore is private, you will be shot if you're caught on it. Enjoy the views.

I feel you m8, but I have relatives and work here, so there's not much I can do now, but trust me, the niggers in the west end are NOTHING compared to the Bronx or western Harlem. They mostly just kill their own as long as people don't go into their territory.

If you want to move to Minnesota, DO NOT go to a big city. Somalians and shit tier conditions.

i think living in the midwest is a good life to choose if you don't wanna be famous or super rich. it's comfy here, it's real comfy. i'm from the suburbs in northern illinois, and yeah the winter is real cold and the summers are real hot, but unless you have a physical labor-y job, you'll be just fine.
the biggest complaint i've heard from people who live here is that it's not the place to go if you plan on being someone big and important. i think if you're looking for a nice stable life, you could move into a cheap apartment in the suburbs.
make sure to look into neighborhoods before choosing though. Sometimes you can move into a place full of people that aren't great to be around. I don't think you should move into a super wealthy neighborhood even if you can, because the wealthy people aren't very nice. move into an average neighborhood if possible. they're working on more affordable housing in a lot of places.

Lexington is only 70 miles away, that's just an hour's drive. People drive that far to go from suburbs to downtown in shitholes like NYC, LA or Houston. Of course, the whole point of a city is to work, so can't you just transfer to Lexington? If they have offices in Louisville, why not have one in Lexington. Your family and friends in Louisville are, as I said, only 70 miles away so you don't lose them.
Also, any niggers at all is bad. Imagine living in a city where they have an area you can't go into because they allow feral people to control it, IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY. Lexington is cucked like this too in some ways, but at least Lexington doesn't have an entire section of their city blocked off by non-whites. Fuck Louisville.

don't worry that's not completely true at all.
there are lots and lots of parks and hiking trails, and the scenery is just as beatiful in those as it is in the pictures you see on the interwebs. don't worry anon. just go to one of the many hiking park thingies!

There's public land, but every time I see a place I want to explore I see "NO TRESSPASSING" and have to walk away.
You can get way with walking on the railroads too.

I've heard Indiana is exceptionally shitty so perhaps my experiences are unique but I fucking can't stand it here. Empty, but not in the majestic breathtaking way somewhere like Colorado is empty, desolate, like life has already come and gone. The girls are all fucking idiots, and despite coming from NYC myself the women here are more promiscuous, more party oriented, more degenerate, than what I'm used to back in New York. Only redeeming quality is the low cost of living but that's only because it's miserable to live here.

i'm sorry you had to deal with that, anon. but some other places in the midwest are kinda pretty. some of the states have a huge difference in how the land looks depending on where you are. for example, in southern illinois it's all empty farm land, but in the northern part it's super green and pretty.
i hope things get better with the people there for you.

you dum dums, Kentucky isn't part of the Midwest, it's southern territory.
From St. Paul MN. Really nice place actually, Twin Cities are a great example of strong urban planning. Not always great at implementing highway infrastructure but overall good roads. I would actually recommend living here if you get the chance.

fifteen miles down the highway from that spot will be just this side of wilderness. As opposed to fifteen miles from, say, Manhattan, which is still treeless concrete, and will be for quite some distance yet.
