Its a city - has good points but no thank you

Well, I like smaller places and that's just becoming clear to me that I do better in smaller places.
So its a city. There are pluses - its beautiful. Really is pretty and the downtown is fun and interesting and there's a lot to do...and its very easy to navigate.
Like a nice big city but small town feel downtown. It has statues of the Presidents on every corner.
And the really cool thing (at least when I was there) is that people put coats, hats, and etc on the statues for the homeless to access.
They were good to their poor! Any city which is good to its poor, is ok in my book.
But my life there was not too good by virtue of (please excuse me) being Catholic. I did not do well with the Catholic church there (even though I am Catholic).
This caused some problems and I was not treated well in that area. One pastor (who is no longer there) was fairly good to me but the rest - I won't go on. Not positive.
But perhaps if I'd not been in that religious system, it might have been ok.
I also was getting over a divorce, had a lot to learn about living on my own, so I am sure I made some personal mistakes (honest mistakes - just small things - I am a very honest person - just had a lot to learn).
It could be a good place for many people to live. But please be aware the Catholic church dominates - even the legal system!
So if that's something that is a problem, be aware please.
Otherwise, sure is a pretty area. Some good restaurants and I had a cute downtown apartment which was fairly affordable (I never got work here though), and a fairly decent landlord.
So I would recommend it for some people - just not me.
