Might be underrated, but I've yet to meet a person outside of CD who is willing to live there or likes living there. I'm assuming there's a good reason for that.
OAN, it doesn't seem like people you know are too fond of the Bos-Wash cities from what I've read.
I've noticed that too..

A lot of them aren't. But then again a lot of them have spent time in that area and consider the places they live and/or have lived to be better. Some are living in better places and some aren't. Have a lot of friends who tried going to the DC area and didn't like it. A good number still live in NYC and like it.
I'm assuming you're talking about the big 5 of NYC, DC, Baltimore, Boston, and Philly, correct?

It's not a dig it's an assumption. I have no personal view on it one way or the other.
As a matter of fact it was basically a coin flip on going to Portland or Philly the 1st time I went out to Portland. But if everyone, literally everyone, you know has an opinion of they'd never live there (having visited) or wanted out what would you think?

How much of that is outflow from people priced out of NYC?
You perspective sounds like it is one of a person headed to the big city not one of a person headed to a specific big city (i.e. the experience mattered more than the place).

It usually hovers at around 100 to 120 for the majority of the places I've lived. Inner circle is usually around 12-30ish. Perhaps not the most social in the world, but I wouldn't call it small.

Well, seeing as I'm not one of those people, not from here, and have lived many places what is your point?
Don't be hatin' because Pittsburgh finished in last. Pittsburgh is a good little city, but to sing such high praises for it and write off philly is silly. I am telling you, as a millennial, I pay $1400/m for a one bedroom in a in a spot that would cost you an arm and a leg in other cities (not this block but around here). Everyone is pretty much my age mixed in with old empty nesters. It's a pretty lively neighborhood but quiet. 99 walkscore, 100 transit scoree, 98 bikescore. No violent crime in a one sq mile radius in at least the last month. the city has vast amounts of things to do and see. Philadelphia's ethnic neighborhood's have kept intact more so than a lot of other cities. This is a great series of articles on the Daily Meal: https://www.menuism.com/blog/author/davidchan/
The author is going around the country and surveying cities to see where the best Chinese food is in the respective cities. He has found that most of the classic Chinatown's had disbursed throughout the metros (though he did say Pittsburgh's had a single business still). However, Philly's Chinatown is thriving and the food scene is exploding.
Who's singing the praises of Pittsburgh and writing off Philly here?
may I give you a quote by you

no offense, but that is a slight. I think by the responses most other people took it as one too. It's alright, though, I will continue to like what I like, and you and your friends can like what you like. There are plenty of millennial's to go around.

Yes--despite constant media portrayal to the contrary, Millenials are far from a monolithic generation. Just like literally every generation before us, of course we're all going to have different preferences as far as our desired homes.
In addition, for reasons of selection bias alone, no one can rely on opinions gathered in their social circle to extrapolate some broad-reaching conclusion about any city.

Have been there a bunch of times, and it seems pretty quiet, sprawly, and generic. Nothing really "bad" but don't understand the appeal. I would never even consider moving there unless there were family reasons to be there.
Great food. Gorgeous women. Somewhat affordable. Safe. Young. Liberal. Lots of nature. Growing downtown. Tons of bars in a three mile radius. ALOT of natural watering holes within three miles of downtown. It's anything but generic.
You have no idea.
