Columbus is like suburbinites that created a city.

I just moved to Columbus from Pittsburgh about 2 months ago. here's my $.02 on what i've seen so far (the list is Columbus in comparison to Pittsburgh):

Good:
the I-270/I-70/I-670 beltways
nice wide roads downtown
fewer run down neighborhoods
more jobs/opportunities
lower cost of living (seemingly)
Tim Hortons

Bad:
no interesting history
more daily accidents on freeways
uninteresting landscape
no city pride
only hockey (soccer doesn't count)
people are more outwardly bigoted
it's not Pittsburgh

i've only been downtown once, and that was the FIRST thing i noticed.
