Meh. Lake Erie, the Pacific... Not a hard decision in my mind. Plus FFS, they have an actual sailing season because winters. I've had some great sails around Christmas, hate to miss out on that.
That loss is entirely yours.
Hobby? Hardly call it that. But you're right, good point - one shouldn't expect any niche passions to be catered to in a place like that.
Oh, goodie. I found 3 microbreweries as well, that's decent. Asking for local wine would be unsporting, so I won't.
In all modesty, median income is not my worry. But I kinda need large companies to flex my skillset.
And no kimchee on my taco? You guys are so missing out.
Seriously, it's the difference between a metropol and a city. I'm sure Toledo is nice, and I'd love to visit.
I think that is interesting how people in big cities say that "median income is not a worry", I guess it just shows how out of touch they are.
West Coast liberalism really does take the tone of "not my worry". Eric Garcetti is the "not my worry" mayor.
Thousands of homeless, areas reeking of urine, sidewalks blocked from sleeping tents in the middle of downtown is "not their worry" to the Los Angeles city council.
I am conservative, but I have to say at least Boston, New York and the east coast liberal establishment spends some of the wasted tax payer dollar to actually help those get back on their feet. Los Angeles and San Francisco liberalism is very weird in my opinion and ignores every social issue.
Even the elite are stepping in human waste just to grab a bite to eat at lunch and yet they ignore it and then they claim they are for social justice.
Social justice is people having a nice apartment to call their own on minimum wage in Toledo not tens of thousands of people living in tents like what Garcetti's vision of social justice is.
The out of touch elite mentality is the reason why the South and Midwest elect the president of the United States and can vote a bloc and drown out any political prowess of California.
Most people in middle-America are not fixated on kimchee, micobreweries and opera. It is basically the wealthy, connected elite in a few select areas of West Los Angeles.
I do think it is nice that those who enjoy kimchee, wine and opera stay concentrated in liberal cities and liberal states that vote a certain way. That pretty much ensures that people who enjoy church, BBQ and non-materialistic values decide who ever controls the presidency and United States senate and house.

Translation: Yeah my thread is an embarrassing gigantic failure but... Trump won the presidency. So there!
Lame.
Anyway, I look forward to the "Antarctica vs Los Angeles" thread I'm sure you have cooking up. Since you have such a strong grasp of supply and demand, and all.

$578.13 worth of food in Cincinnati. $210.23 worth of food in San Fransisco
....due to the differences in Cost-of Living.
Liberals perpetuate this gross injustice and harm Americans.
I live in a low COL area and this is why welfare fraud and disability fraud is so much more common here. Where I live someone on disability who also works part time makes enough for an apartment and decent used car. In fact in some areas where a large percent of residents are on some type of govt. program housing is priced down to the average payout ($800 to $1000). You can rent a house for $400 a month in rural Kentucky. High COL liberal areas get hosed big time because the govt. doesn't weight transfer payments for COL.
Oh wow, that's it, Im packing my bags and leaving for Toledo now...SAID NO ONE EVER.
They usually end up in places like Arizona. I don't think so. I know so.
Anyway indeed, the weather in California does pump up the FIRE sector quite a bit. If people actually knew that such a situation tends to suck the wealth out of them in the lower classes, they just might move to Toledo. Rule of thumb. Own the land in such places or find a way to avoid the onerous rate of the FIRE sector , like Mexicans do for example. Otherwise if you are not part of the landed classes move to where their is less demand real estate. Otherwise you will be much closer to subsistence.
Fun fact: the Los Angeles MSA has an economy twice the size of Ohio. As in, the entire friggin state.
Maybe that's why LA has a 2.7% vacancy rate and places like Toledo resemble less cheery-looking versions of Chernobyl.
