I’m actually moving from Spartanburg to the metropolis of Pacolet. I have to believe people will be moving away from larger cities in waves now.

Tokyo (38 million population) is not a Melting Pot.I stayed in Tokyo for three years and never had a problem. Love that place. You could be out in the city at 3 AM and not have to worry about trouble.
If I could move to anywhere I wanted, it would be Bavarian or Austrian Alps.
That is true.Tokyo (38 million population) is not a Melting Pot.
Everyone comes from the same bolt of cloth.
Far fewer grievances than in a metropolis like Sparkle City (38, 000 population).
Good luck.
U mean like cola?
Ain’t too long until this happens in Columbia.
I think a lot is age. At this point in my life, no I would not want to be in a big city. In my twenties and thirties (up until I had kids), yeah I could have handled it. Something to do all the time, greater variety of restaurants and dessert places, etc.
How long has he been Sheriff? I think he was the Sheriff when I left Columbia.At least we have Sheriff Leon Lott in charge of Richland County... He doesn't put up with this crap...

I guess I should stop reading GC if I don't appreciate binary dogma.
I simultaneously enjoy and dislike multiple elements of all of these types of places.
- Mega cities (London, Paris, NYC) have great attributes and drawbacks
- Big cities (Dallas, Atlanta) have great attributes and drawbacks.
- Medium cities have great attributes and drawbacks (Austin, Charlotte)
- Small cities have great attributes and drawbacks (Columbia, Winston-Salem)
- Large towns have great attributes and drawbacks (Spartanburg, Asheville)
- Small towns have great attributes and drawbacks (Hartsville, Clinton)
- Rural life has great attributes and drawbacks
Me personally, I need somewhere with extensive quality options for live music in small rock clubs and juke joints. So Austin, where I've lived since 2006, is about as good as it gets. Lots of other great things about Austin too. Lots of not so great things about Austin too.
But I've never understood the demonization of big cities or small towns or this or that - everything has good and bad and most of this world is good.
Of course, everyone has different definitions of "nice," "good," "vibrant," etc. and that's what leads a lot of folks to live in or near small towns in rural areas. One of the best gun stores I've ever been in is located in Ennis, MT. One of my favorite camping and outdoors stores was Sunrift Adventures in Traveler's Rest (is it still there?). In contrast, I spent a couple of hours in Harrod's last summer and couldn't find a single thing I wanted to buy (among the few things there I could afford) other than a tin of shortbread cookies. To each his own - people tend to gravitate to what they like, but as somebody stated above, one isn't necessarily "better" or "nicer" than the other. They are simply different.People who enjoy nice shopping options, new/inventive/good/exotic restaurants, vibrant music scenes, museums, culture, wine shops, etc will continue to live in cities.

Over my career I turned down jobs in Atlanta, Seattle and Chicago. Never regretted it. Too much traffic, violence, and traffic. I said traffic twice. I hate traffic.
Keep Austin Weird, and yes I love it there, just not quite on my live in list. But 5 separate visits it’s damn cool

They have two seasonsSay traffic once more for Chicago. I hate driving in that town. I take the train when I can.
I think he has been the Sheriff since 1992 or 1993???
I don't like him as a person, but I do respect him and he will not put up with bad cops and will not put up with rioters too...
But,Lott is correct.Well he was out there like a big dummy saying the rioters weren’t from the area. He’s no different than anyone else. He’s up for re-election he’s not about to come out as a law and order guy.
I’m sure George Soros sent a bus to Columbia.But,Lott is correct.
I lot of these “protesters” are brought in and paid.
It is election timeI’m sure George Soros sent a bus to Columbia.
So the police just stopped a car with NY tags handing out crow barsWell he was out there like a big dummy saying the rioters weren’t from the area. He’s no different than anyone else. He’s up for re-election he’s not about to come out as a law and order guy.
