ru-vid.com Are you looking for a new place to visit or live? I know I am, which is why I started this channel. I comb through data to find which communities are worth checking out, as well as which ones should be avoided. Along the way, I also make videos about any interesting things that I uncover about these places, such as who the richest people are, or which states have the happiest people. If you find data, geography, trivia and generally nerdy things to be fascinating, be sure to subscribe to the channel!

It's horribly expensive and disrespectful too. It screams it doesn't have enough Teachers yet it makes the processing to be one horribly expensive and far more difficult than any other State.
Maryville is NOT affordable. If you were to look at housing costs right now, you'd see that prices are completely unreasonable. I'd LOVE to move there, but I just can't afford it.
As someone who lived in the Collegedale area, I can honestly say that place is NOT affordable now. It may have been back in the day before the area really had a boom in population growth, but houses are insanely priced. Although, I do agree, I never worried about my safety while going out and about in town.
I've lived in Bemidji for over 20 years. It's a gorgeous place to live if you're an avid hiker, walker, skier...we are surrounded by parks and public access trails...teeming with lakes, bogs, wildlife, and beautiful boreal forests. I would never trade my 5 acre paradise for any other city or town in America!
I've lived in Bloomington for 44yrs and have never experienced any crime. The diversity is the draw here. Good arts, music and international food choices. All kinds of activity choices, most of them free. Garden and art walks, studios, shops. Several farmer's markets. Lakes and creeks and ravines TREES everywhere. A very busy city parks calendar. Art and Music festivals. Olympic level sports. A good place to raise a family with good schools and sport camps. Hoosier National Forest and Deam Wilderness, Lakes Monroe & Lemon, and Griffey Lake closest to town.
@JMAM006 I lived on the south side of Bloomington and the crime was terrible. I live in Ellettsville now and still work in Bloomington. Homelessness is unreal and very sad. Housing cost is astronomical now.
Don’t move to spring hill there over building it and roads are becoming over crowded and prices are out the roof. City council has done a poor job of controlling this and police love writing traffic tickets in the 20 mph neighborhoods.
I'm from Pittsburgh and calling drinks like Pepsi or Coke "soda" is just weird. It's "pop"! And yeah, It's "suckers". Despite being in PA, I'm convinced Pittsburgh is a "Midwest" city. I feel more "at home" in Cleveland than I do in Philadelphia.
Moline does suck. But Rock island is the worst in the quad city area. There are block among blocks of vacant buildings that are tagged for demolition . Only Canton is worse than Rock Island
Unfortunately it's not mostly out of towners coming to Maine driving the cost of housing to rise rather investors that buy multiple properties especially in times like now when the housing market is hot, then they sit on it for a couple of years and try to dump it and make on average over $40k for doing so. Not a bad profit for your money sitting for 2 or 3 years. Most do nothing to the property but basic maintenance. So land and apartments is not the only way to have a profitable portfolio. If you have money, real-estate knowledge, patience and an understanding of its odds of success then you may be just as profitable ✌🏽♥️
I'm an Asian looking for a peaceful, people friendly town. Hopefully not so crazy weather. I want to leave these rude people in the big city acting like they own the world. I heard TN, NC and IA are pretty good.
As a real estate appraiser, I always ask why and where people are moving. Your guidelines say no political attacks. Well then just say you don’t really want to know the real reason people are moving out of Illinois.
As a person whose lived in New Hampshire all my life, I can say we're the weirdest state, but at least we aren't terrible drivers. At least not as bad as those... MASSHOLES...
Mendota is actually a good idea if you can stand it. Pretty close to Chicagoland, good if you work a hybrid job. Or Pontiac, if you don't mind living in a town with a big prison. I think people are sleeping on Pontiac. Crime is low, it's just boring and definitely behind the times. Many do not see this as a problem! There is even some racial diversity and the schools aren't terrible. You can even take a high speed (110 mph lol) train into Chicago from there.
New Hampshire sucks. The people live in a bubble and most likely never left their county. There is no women there, and if there is, they are bottom tier. The "mountains" look the same and are only 4-6k feet. (Head to Montana with 300 9,000 footers.) The people are old, there is no rents and the houses are seriously over priced considering taxes. Also it's a blue state although people say it's red for some reason? All I've met is liberals!
Uh...Kind of..? Sort of....? Maybe? Be very wise and go into this with your eyes open. In a lot of these towns, people know each other and have grown up together. Sometimes they can be suspicious of "outsiders" especially moving from Metro Chicago. Can get a lot of comments like: "You're not from around here." Haven’t lnown you since 8th grade." "Didn't play ball with you on the team in high school.." While not necessarily hatered, might not be a welcoming with open arms idyllic utopía.
Pretty much all the larger Minnesota cities have become shitholes. The suburbs are still fairly safe, although the illegals and Somalis are showing up along with increased criminal activity.
Im moving to the suburbs of St Louis, to somewhere like Edwardsville or even further out to save money. Say what you want about taxes, etc....I left CA and am now leaving FL due to outrageous RE prices and insurance. There are a lot cheap houses in smaller, safer cities that what I've lived in all my life and for about on tenth the price. Sure, it will be boring AF but Im old and near retirement age so I dont care. The whole state isnt bad.
It definitely depends what you want. I find living with mostly white people to be pretty boring, but overall, life here is pretty okay. I wouldn't want to live too far to visit Chicago for an evening, so I stay south of downtown Milwaukee.
I think there is a top secret military base, we are a tiny state, 3rd highest UFO sighting in the usa , yet MA has MIT and many military contractors that make top secret stuff
I'm originally from Manhattan- spent the first 45 years of my life there. Bought property in NH in 1994, moved permanently in 2004. I'm a proud "pre-Stater" member of the NH Free State Project- look it up and see what true libertarianism is all about- come to Porcfest next June and have the time of your life. Viva Mises.
