After spending a good amount of time in all 10 cities…I believe you miss the boat on 7 of the 10 cities.

First, the main reason(s) there may be job opportunies in these 7 cities is simplly because there is less competition for jobs as a result of poor weather and or high crime rates!

You have to be kidding about NY City with iit’s crappy weather, crime and over crowding and major ghetto conditions. Chicago is almost as bad. Wasjington DC is for high ranking officials that mainly live in Virgina and have drivers. Lansing is the last resort for the folkks that never want to leave the midwest. Kansas City is no St. Louis but has good BBQ and under rated jazz music and as for Portland…it will never be another Seattle cause it does not want to be..The master of Music Gino Vanelli left Malibu in the early 90′s and moved to Portland…Gino still has family in Portland but spends most of his time in Holland..for the cultural inspiration I gather!

I grew up in Chi-town and moved to KC 3 yrs ago. One thing I love about KC, most commutes are 15 mins, none more than 30. they have great BBQ, Power & Light District, great sports fans for what they are subjected to. However, having lived in Wrigleyville, Lincoln Park, and stumbling distance from Rush & Division – the partying in KC cannot compare to Chicago – especially when you don’t need to drive home to the Chgo neighborhoods I lived.

Way to go Kansas City! Grew up in the suburbs of KC (on the Kansas side though) and now live close by. I work downtown used to own a condo downtown when I first started work. It is a great city to live and work in with lots of things to do, places to go out, and some great cultural experiences, including the Nelson Atkins Museum, Negro Baseball Mueseum, and many more. They are trying to improve the nightlife with the downtown renovation and hopefully add some better public transportation in the near future

@ Brian – Trifecta? Rockies aren’t legit enough to make your list of pro sports teams? =)

Being a citizen of Kansas City for 25+ years, working in Chicago and Portland both for months on end and then moving to Denver 2 years ago. The quality of life in Denver decimates anywhere I’ve lived or worked for any amount of time. The weather is pretty mild year round. It’s a young and vibrant city. It’s easily walkable and has great public transit. The mountains are less than 2 hours away for weekend ski trip. Southern Colorado has some of the best hiking, camping and fishing. Denver it self is a great sports town with the trifecta of the NFL, NHL and NBA. So, in closing, please move to one of those top 10 cities listed above and please leave Denver alone.

Marty,
Grand Rapids is a great city to live in and it’s very affordable. I recommend living near Heartside or the Eastown/East Hills areas where there’s a lot of culture and things to do. Check out http://rentgr.homemi.net/SearchListings.aspx and Craigslist for places to live.

Austin would be a great place to live and work. I would move to wherever the jobs are though, and traffic doesn’t bother me too much since I would opt for public transit to avoid driving in it. I would be more concerned about how the night life is in a city I would be going on vacation to and not so much a city I would be living it. I’m fine with just hanging out with friends, it is the company that matters the most to me.

As someone who grew up in Missouri and has quite a few friends in KC, I can definitely vouch for how awesome the city is. There are many museums, theaters, and other cultural aspects. The Power & Light district is awesome, I went to a concert there a couple summers ago in their Hot Country Nights series. (Free Dierks Bentley concert? Yes please!) They offer a ton of free shows like that, plus there are a ton of fun restaurants and bars in the area. The sports teams in KC aren’t impressive, but I did arrange a trip to visit a friend a few weekends ago with my Cardinals were playing the Royals. KC doesn’t have a “big city” feel, and doesn’t appear to have the “big city” cost of living, either. I’ve enjoyed all of my trips there.

Say, what’s Denver like?

Right about now, any city is a better place to live than Houston. I work in communications and it seems like NY, SF, Chicago and perhaps LA are ideal for starting out my career. Houston’s economy is prominently fixed in petrochemicals, finance, health care, and industry.
