Thank you so much ...... and...I am sorry If it sounds confusing, I am brainstorming here, I am also open to move to a smaller city, it doesnt necessarily need to be a large metro area. A 170,000 up city is fine with me as long as the economy is somehow "stable"
This is going to be more challenging since the trend is for growth and opportunity continues to consolidate in the metros in the US. Smaller metros are not growing as fast as the larger ones. America's Biggest Metros Are Growing Much Faster Than Other Cities - CityLab
It would seem to me that smaller metros that would be doing well would include those anchored by state capitals and colleges. Resort type areas that attract the monied crowd would probably also be safe bets for stability but are probably going to all be expensive.
meaning that I dont want to buy a house in cheap markets like Detroit where the median worker only makes 70% the national average and where the unemployment rate is 28% higher than the rest of the country.
I am looking for stable regional economies and affordable housing to buy a home.
Places in that metro like The Plymouth-Canton area, some of the Downriver Communities, some of the Woodward Corridor communities in Oakland County and the Farmington/Farmington Hills area could be potential communities to look into in that area.
Omaha, likely, but not Cleveland. Cleveland isn't growing, it's shrinking.
True, I interpreted the desire to live in a rapidly growing metro more as a desire to live in a metro with low unemployment. And Cleveland has low unemployment and good job growth.

That's an uneducated view of Metro Detroit's market, based heavy on impression and light on fact. Even in bad economic times the Detroit area has always ranked among the highest markets for disposable income to cost of living. Whether you should live there or not I don't care. But making sweeping hyperbolic statements on here about any place is never wise.
The unemployment rate in the Cleveland area is 5.7%, not exactly economic Armageddon. Another sweeping anecdotal statement. There are a million reasons not to want to live in these places, but these statements that can be disproven with a simple internet search need to stop.
San Antonio comes to mind. It's fast growing and affordable.
