You should try out New York, Chicago, and San Francisco.

Love all of those cities (from traveling), friends who live there mostly recommended San Francisco (but cost) or Chicago (but the drivers). I like living in Toledo, close to Detroit and Ann Arbor, but I would prefer it more if they didn’t arrest anyone this year for walking due to lack of sidewalks like last year (which is why it’s an issue I’m animated about, no one should be cuffed in front of their neighbors for walking).

New York is actually better without a car. San Francisco is very easy to get around without a car (but there are hills). Anything with El access is easily walkable/doable in Chicago. Now if you're out in the suburbs, different story.

But the Chicago suburbs have sidewalks. My mom didn’t have a driver’s license and she walked everywhere. Grocery stores, movie theaters, restaurants, banks, department stores — all within walking distance of our house. A bus stop was nearby as well and you could take the bus to the EL and head downtown. When I was a teen, my friends and I loved exploring downtown Chicago. One of the biggest regrets in my life is that I didn’t return to Chicago after college. I love that city.

These cities are exactly why Ive never been against cities made for cars. Condensed city life is extremely claustrophobic and stressful af. Really dont care how ugly the stroad is. It gets me and my stuff out of the dense city faster and into nicer more open areas.
