Seven miles from downtown Lakewood is a destination residence for recent college grads. Not only affordable but walkable. As for comparison to Pittsburg & Buffalo they are fun however the best Metropolitan park in the nation is in CLE with 22,000 acres, best / largest theatre district outside NYC, number 1 orchestra in U.S. Neither Pitts nor Buffalo are on a great lake with tournament fishing, beaches & stunning views. There are 3 light rail lines & one has a station in the airport that takes you to the Eastside ( cultural/ great mansions) Westside ( Lakeview suburbs,great schools) , downtown & the world class Cleveland Clinic In the University Circle research center. The video was looking for protected bike paths & the best starts in downtown along the river connects to the Tow Path along the Erie Canal then with some connections can take you across the entire state to the Ohio river on mostly converted rail lines.
Cleveland has a world class orchestra! Overall it is a very underrated city. You should do a video on Toledo. I really like the Old Orchard and Ottawa Hills neighborhoods .
I could definitely see someone moving to Cleveland to have a relatively good quality of life in the sense of urbanist values while also trying to keep your bank account as full as possible. One might say, “Pittsburgh and Buffalo are both better on paper and are also affordable” , but Cleveland still has half the median home price that those cities have. Even if it were just a little more expensive, it wouldn’t be anything special, but it just seems to be extremely affordable
Yeah the affordability is the main draw for sure. I think you can find pockets in these neighborhoods or maybe a couple others and live quite well. Buffalo is a perfect comparison.
I see why people still love Cleveland despite the crime, you get some of what you want from Chicago and NYC but for much cheaper, amazing food and entertainment. The architecture is amazing, id try the city out if it wasnt on the great lakes
While I’ll never live there again, it’s nothing like what it was growing up and has saw tremendous development. I’m about 15 years it’ll almost be unrecognizable. Great parks, entertainment and fun. So many things I didn’t get to visit but n my last trip.
@@cities4pplUnfortunately in 2020 it voted to the right of both Florida and Texas. The politicians aren’t in a race to spread the most insane policies possible to get rid of Democrats, but Ohio is solidly conservative after decades of being a swing state
It's difficult due to constant gerrymandering that divides up the urban centers making them have less of a voice in the state legislature. This means urban transit funding from the state is pretty lacking. Additionally, you will have general issues of labor rights, lgbtq+ rights, and minority rights popping up in the state from time to time but as has been shown with the ballot initiatives in the last election (marijuana and abortion access) Ohioans can be relatively progressive on certain topics. One other thing that is a very recent development is the Haslam's interest in moving the stadium for the Cleveland Browns. If you are interested/have moved to Cleveland it's important to make you voice heard at the city council.

I did stand-up in Cleveland last year, it was wonderful. I could easily see myself living there.
I’ve always wanted to do open mic!
@@cities4ppl If you're in the LA area, hmu, I can tell you of some good ones
Cle is walkable, affordable, comfortable and foodie love it❤
I’ve never heard anyone describe Cleveland as comfortable but I don’t hate it.

I’m looking into Toledo! 👀
Great video. From Seattle myself, it was cool to see a fairly walkable neighborhood like Tremont. Ohio City retails district was also pretty fun.
Thanks Jin!
Have you done any research on locations that are specifically best for folks who are visually impaired? Thank you!
You should absolutely do a video on St. Louis, every time I visit its wowed me more and more.
I absolutely have!
"Affordable"?!? Or SAFE?!? I lived in Cleveland. This guy is so off!
Is it the crime bad????? As Puerto Rico??? I will be moving and I’m looking for info
I appreciate the info brother. New Subscriber
And I appreciate you.

Also what I like about it is if you ever get tired of it - you have like a dozen great cities in every direction to explore on weekends/road trips.
@@cities4ppl Columbus and Pittsburgh being 2 hours away are amazing for this as well.
Ohio is a red state, how wacky are the politics? Florida crazy?
Lol no one is as crazy as Florida but Ohio is a perennial swing state.
@@cities4ppl 😂

Cleveland metro area typically votes Blue, Hopefully the rest of Ohio will revert back to being a purple swing state.

I went there a few months ago but I didn't find it very walkable. I would've probably chosen Cincinnati as a walkable Ohio city.
Yeah that’s why I emphasize the walkable neighborhoods because the entire city as a whole most definitely is not. I’ve been researching cincy!
@@cities4ppl fair enough
