I've always found Detroit, Cleveland, and Milwaukee to feel somewhat related to each other. They seem to be their own group in the Midwest, set apart from peers such as Indianapolis and Columbus which are more newer and almost sunbelt-like, and St. Louis and Cincinnati which are older river cities. In many ways, they all remind me of smaller, less dense versions of Chicago in regards to their built environments.

So, how do these three cities compare to each other in the following categories? Which is best to live in, and which is best to visit?


Food
Museums
Higher Education
Architecture
Vibrancy
Nightlife
Shopping
Safety
Cost of Living
Scenery
Parks
Pedestrian Friendliness
Public Transportation
Performing Arts
Visual Arts
Tourist Attractions
Local Culture

Feel free to add any other categories.

So in your view the rest not important?
Detroit has the worst local culture, visual and performance arts, museums, tourist attractions, shopping, nightlife, vibrancy, architecture, and food perhaps? Neighborhood blight the overriding concern?
How about historical significance, influence, and place upon the world stage? How about influential national and world talents in all categories one can think of, including political?

I never said that, I just don't know these cities well enough.

I'll take Cleveland and Detroit over the home of sausage and cheap, tasteless beer.

I've heard Milwaukee being compared to Detroit in terms of segregation of races. Most Cleveland to Detroit comparisons have been mostly about the downtowns.
