      Hi @BigCity3939 Living in Holland has its own unique charm, it’s a smaller, close-knit community with beautiful scenery and that classic Dutch-inspired vibe. Grand Rapids, on the other hand, has more of a city feel with lots of cultural spots, restaurants, and events. If you enjoy a bigger city atmosphere with more amenities, Grand Rapids might be the better fit. If you ever decide to come out, let me know if you need any recommendations.🙏 I also did a full video on why I left Holland. It’s in my channel.

But a lot of folks in wheelchairs manage to deal with winter just fine. Connecting with local groups for people with disabilities can really help, too. Plus, having some good winter gear and maybe winter tires can make a big difference. Anyone else in the community have tips or experiences to share?

    I used to enjoy grandville but not now. People are rude entitled and just plain mean. It’s congested to make matters worse. A couple of people now almost hit my mom if she hadn’t of moved she most likely would have been hit just in the last week, week and a half and traffic was clear when she entered the parking lot. Most people there seem to firmly believe the world owes them life on a silver platter. I really don’t understand Why they think they are so special . They’re clearly not!!!!!!!!

    We are considering moving to Grand Rapids (Spring ish) because it is near our kids in Illinois. They go to uni near Chicago and I saw that there was a train from there to Grand Rapids. Would appreciate your insight on that, please.

    I visited Rockford with my wife and dog back in July, I heard so many great things about it, and it's being considered as one of the candidate cities/towns for me to move to, the others are nearby Comstock Park and Walker. As you may or may not know I've been a frequent visitor of the Grand Rapids area, because of my job, and I stayed at hotels in Kentwood and Walker so far. I fell in love with the Northern suburbs of GR and Walker, because it has everything I could want, however, Rockford has that small-town charm that really draws me closer to this town. As I was driving through the outskirts of Rockford and into downtown, it was definitely what I expected to find: beautiful houses with a backyard and pleasant scenery, plus the Rockford Brewing Company, (which I didn't go to, but wound up going to Third Nature Brewing instead.) and some good shops my wife liked, and most of the shops are dog-friendly. It is kind of a drive from Grand Rapids, I'd say 15-17 minutes tops, but it's not that bad. As I left, I have a lot of thinking to do about where I will live in the area, and if the town I want to live in is Rockford. We shall see.

    And a 3% income tax whether you live in the city or work in the city. It’s also a Sanctuary County. That is fine. But there never used to be so many murders 5 years ago. They were non existent. The road US 131 between GR to Kalamazoo are two Sanctuary Counties where a lot of the bodies are dumped. Also it used to be safe to bicycle or jog. The. weird murders happen with NO MOTIVE. People have been getting aggressive and violent. I lived outside of GR in a very low crime neighborhood. Woke up one morning and my car was stolen. 2 years later the police found it it Detroit. They didn’t charge the man because he used my car for work. Think about changes that come with Sanctuary Cities and Counties. They mean different things to different people. Usually it is an open invitation for non-citizens who came here illegally. I knew many illegal people in GR. They buy their SSN from attorneys. They were nice people. But Sanctuary also means MS-13 type people are also welcome. Think about what that looks like in 3, 5, 10 or 15 years. Or even tomorrow. It used to be if you had no enemies you were safe. 5 years ago. The murders and crimes happening today in/around GR are totally random and they get away with it. They just celebrated NO murders for the month of July. Grand Rapids itself is not that big so no murders in one month is not something to jump for joy about. The best of the best suburbs and schools are full of drugs. This used to be a place people came to raise a family. Marijuana is legal so your car insurance will be high and mote DUI’s on the road. Kent County was named as having the most DUI’s in the whole state. It is very slippery on bad roads. People take their life in my hands just driving to work. Look at most recent statistics, not statistics and crime from 5 years ago. Taxes are going up on homes in the future because roads are so bad. That is one reason why Michigan loses 2-3% of people per year. High taxes. Bad roads. Illegal drugs. Marijuana is still a federal crime for a reason. Also GR is a heavily medicated city so bad that they find antidepressants in the fish. Ozone and air quality has become a problem. Businesses are still closing. There is still trauma from the longest worst lockdowns in the country. I don’t recommend it unless you MUST live in GR. 3 women run the state. Check out their X sites. Wow! They make Michigan look bad. Too many years of unaccomplished women running things. The men are too nice to take over the government.

    3% of your income to the City of Grand Rapids is a lot. This is how they can create multi million dollar projects that are not necessary. Michigan state income tax is in addition to Grand Rapids City income tax. Some cities and “suburbs” around Grand Rapids also have “city income taxes.” So check it out before you move. Grand Rapids is also crowded, has parking issues and heavy fines if you park too long. There are less than 55 days of sunshine per year in Grand Rapids. I have never seen “visitors” in GR until they buried Gerald Ford. GR a long way from everywhere. It takes a long time to find a good job. Way too many useless hospitals. Crime is way up since GRAND Rapids is a Sanctuary County.
