I wanted to try something different as we always compare CBD, MSA, CSA, what city is best for minorities, what is the biggest Downtown of your region or this city vs that city with respect to growth. Would you rather live in a city that is known for it's creativity or a city that is known for a having a lot of jobs that may not be the most interesting place. Personally I think that it depends on where one is at in their career and how stable their situation is.
Like Atlanta seems to have an interesting balance of both. But a Rust Belt city like Cleveland or Detroit may be known for the creative side, but not necessarily a place where everyone is moving to advance their careers. Then on the other side we have places with creative scenes that are either underrepresented in the media or largely unknown, such as Washington DC. As well as places that people like to say were great in the past, but not so much these days, as are the accusations often thrown around about NYC. Even if that is not an accurate statement.
