Which is your favorite Rust belt city? (living, cost, life)

[Spreadofknowledge]

Of the declining northern cities, which is your favorite and why? Also which you think has the most potential?

[Spreadofknowledge]

My favorite is Baltimore. I love the rowhomes, the Bmore culture and proximity to other larger cities.

Most potential:
1. Baltimore
... distant second
2. Pittsburgh
3. St Louis
4. Cincinatti
...
5. Cleveland
6. Detroit
7. Buffalo

Probably Baltimore or Pittsburgh for me.

St Louis has a charm about it that makes it stand out in my opinion. It has well-preserved architecture, civic pride, neighborhoods with character, a decent food/restaurant scene, beautiful greenspace/parks and overall a pretty good quality of life given the cost of living.

Baltimore then Pittsburgh for me.

I'm intrigued by Pittsburgh, though I haven't actually been there yet.

[Koji7]

I like Pittsburgh, Balto and Buffalo.

They all have their attributes but I have to go w/ Detroit.

Detroit -- because it embodies all the strengths, weaknesses, successes, failures, glory and tragedy that defines the so-called "Rust Belt"; it will revive-- not because of the politicians, but in spite of them.
