Which Columbus neighborhoods are like Over-the-Rhine (the only urban Ohio neighborhood that I've heard of, tbh)?
OTR is pretty unique in Ohio, considering it's age and being in an old river city. Columbus' signature historic neighborhood is German Village, which is also unique and quite beautiful. Italian Village and Short North deserve mentions as well.
Honestly as a Clevelander the lopsided-ness of this poll kind of surprised me. I think people from Cleveland tend to identify as Clevelanders first and Ohioans second. I think of Columbus as being quintessential Ohio and having more state pride. Sure Cleveland has more name recognition, but Columbus is more representative of the “average” of Ohio (politically, culturally, demographically, etc.)

The Short North including Victorian Village and Italian Village is a very vibrant urban area that is more akin to what you’d find in much larger cities. German Village is a very beautiful and unique neighborhood. OTR is not nearly as gentrified or vibrant as the Short North, but it has good urban bones and will continue to improve.
When I think of Ohio, I think of Cleveland and the Cuyahoga River catching on fire. My 2nd thought is Columbus and Ohio State. My 3rd though is Cincinnati and the Ohio River. My 4th thought is Sandusky and Cedar Point.
An event that happened 51 years ago. Need to update, Dude. Cleveland's not stuck in the past and you need not be, either.
I know Cleveland isn't like that, I visited again in 2017 and went to the Flats area. But that perception is quite common. A lot of people still jokingly say "the mistake by the lake" when Cleveland is mentioned.

If you know Cleveland's not like that, and have 1st hand evidence that it is not, then why spread a false narrative that's rooted in the 1960s? Yeah, some people spout the Mistake by the Lake trope, but not "a lot of people" as you say ... only the haters. So, if you want to be a hater, then you either spread false narrative out of ignorance or as a means to deliberately distort when you know the truth ... which is what you're doing.
