Columbus, Ohio.

Is it actually a good city to live in? Every time people speak about Columbus they talk about it like its baltimore 2.0

    Just live in a suburb and it's comfy as frick. Tons of stuff to do. They have a hockey team. Tons of concerts/shows. Toy/anime conventions.
    Be sure to know how to use a roundabout though. They seem to be everywhere.

      Lived there 1999-2016 It was fun for the first 10 years. Plenty of things to do. Or if some band i like might be in Cinci one night & Cleavland the next & its just a few hours North or South. ( If not playing in Columbus ) Very liberal Blue city but still a hint of RED NECK Ohiobilly vibe. Somewhere outside of the city might be all right but very large ghetto areas you do not want to go after dark or anytime. Plenty of tweakers / Oxy junkies everywhere. People getting robbed on / around Campus. It got a little to BLACK for me. Then they started bringing in all the Somalians & crime shot way up. ( & those frickers brought an out of control BED BUGS problems that all my friends moved out of their apartments ) . My area was up North @270 & Cleavland area. Slowly became a WARZONE. Gun shots & Police Helicopters every night. Used to be a nicer area with alot of Doctors / Nurses families With the Hospital being right there. NOT ANY MORE. I decided it was time to move on. Sold my condo for a small loss from what I paid & moved to Montana / Florida. And unless you eat & breath BUCKEYE foot ball the whole city goes crazy on game days. Live near campus might get your car torched if they lose. Also lets talk about the GAY community &Drag queen bars & parades everywhere .

      Used to go Blue Jacket games all the time. WTF? happened to them? They are the worst team in the league right now.
      Here OP. I still follow this Youtube POLICE BODY CAM
      Decide for yourself. ME the city is FRICKED . outside/suburbs are not that bad. But it's just not for me.. I got OUT & would never go back.
      GO KEKS!

          Imagine being so ignorant. Criminals never move around in public transportation because its super slow and police easily can follow the route. You are brainwashed by the car industry israelites into believing that cheap, safe and clean transportation is bad.

        Columbus is soulless, like Dallas or Houston. It's just strip mall after strip mall of chain stores and restaurants. German Village is like 10 blocks, it's hardly a destination. You can eat at one restaurant and go to a bookstore, who gives a shit. You can also go to the gay clothing store and get tested for AIDS (seriously)

        So what was your AIDS test result? Positive I assume?

    >Is it actually a good city to live in?

    As someone who actually just got done scratching it off my list of possible places to move to, IMO not really.

    Pro's:
    >low housing costs
    >spread out enough to not be too cramped
    >all four seasons
    >fairly broad job infrastructure
    >highway can get you around quickly
    >fairly low cost of living compared to other places
    Con's
    >low pay without maintaining a gov job, healthcare, or remote job
    >old houses will all but require some renovations or pay out the ass for something new
    >car basically required, not the worst but winter can make a bike/motorcycle useless with how shit the roads get
    >downtown is pretty grabage and in the middle of another migration COVID did a number on it
    >job market is far more susceptible to recessions

    If you can basically buy a house out right you should be okay, just know that the job market is pretty meh depending on the sector you work in

    It’s actually not that bad. Depends how much money you have, but there are some very nice upper class suburbs in Columbus. Way better than the rest of Ohio, that’s for sure.

      Columbus isn't bad but if you have other options it's probably not in the top 10 places to move for work/life unless you have more than enough saved for a house.

      German village is just a small neighborhood in part of the city. To be honest with you most of it outside the center is your typical suburban neighborhoods with big box stores and strip malls, not nearly as charming.

      There are a few other cities that have this nice quaint historic vibe. Charleston, SC, Savannah, GA, Georgetown, DC, Boston/Cambridge, MA come to mind. There's probably a few others in New England that im neglecting to mention

        Holy projection Batman. Nah it’s MIDwest cause there’s nothing to do except get grinder out under the capitalist wheel. Do you like having 4 average hikes and the same night of going to the bar till you’re 30 then settling down forever working a $17 job? Then the Midwest is here for you friend!

        you simple have never lived differently. I was stuck there working for 7 months. It was boring and the food pretty much sucked. even the pizza which is really hard to frick up. Youre most likely used to shit tier food and live a shit tier midwest life.. because it really does suck in columbus.

      I think it's good to live somewhere that's somewhat boring, like Columbus, but travel a lot to more interesting places.

          Can confirm that Columbus has incredible food. The caveat is I was there on a press trip so obviously they only took us to excellent places. I travel a lot for work and pleasure, otherwise I probably would want to live somewhere more interesting, but as it is I like living in a calm environment with good food. Columbus would be nice I think but ideally I'd like to live in an even smaller city.

    Been living in Columbus for nearly 10 years now so I know the city pretty well. It's not even remotely similar to Baltimore, I'm not sure where you heard that from. It's generally a good city to live in imho. If you're a libtard don't come here, there's enough of you homosexuals here already.

    PROS:
    >affordable property relative to other larger cities (altough getting pricey quick)
    >relatively low cost of living
    >good number of well paying white collar jobs in government, insurance, banking, education, and tech
    >the freeway system is really well laid out and traffic isnt that bad even at rush hour
    >great arts scene with many galleries across the city and a good music scene. You get touring acts from all genres stop here
    >food scene is great too, Columbus punches above its wait in this category. You can everything from street food to ethnic to fine dining. There are like 4 different food halls and a kajillion breweries. You will never ever run out of new places to eat/drink.
    >it's a growing city with a booming population, the number of new buildings ive seen go up in the last decade is staggering
    >there's a lot of really nice neighborhoods in the center and great suburbs
    >there are no homeless encapments all over the place like on the left coast. That shit is not allowed
    >great parks

    CONS:
    >homeless people are allowed to panhandle for some reason so you still see them at major intersections and freeway offramps. Gross.
    >very corrupt city government
    >it's a dumping ground for somali refugees so they're all over
    >most of the city is not walkable, just a few neighborhoods
    >public transport (buses) are bad
    >the only pro sports are soccer and hockey (and minor league baseball), you want to watch anything else it's going to be Ohio State or a trip to Cincinnati or Cleveland
    >most of the new apartment buildings are cheaply and hastily constructed, sit near railroad tracks, and are overpriced

          Bongland honestly might be less depressing than Ohio, despite the grim weather, food, and “architecture”. Would be interesting to live there, but I live here.
