San Diego, CA
Good but unlivable -
12/27/2021Visited San Diego a few times and loved everything about it.
Everything I hate about LA is absent in San Diego. The traffic, the 60k homeless population, the desertous feel, the stressful pace of life… Quality of like seemed much better there.
That being said, SD is unlivable unless you're making six figures.
Denver, CO
It's good -
7/10/2021Denver has a ton to offer as a city, but you'll be missing out if you're not into hiking, skiing, rock climbing etc. Cost of living is okay, and the wages are on par with, let's say, California wages.
Denver is clean, it doesn't have as many homeless as LA or Seattle. It has ski towns, hot springs, and Boulder is only 30 mins away. The traffic ain't as bad as the locals claim.
Cons:
IT IS DRY.
Lots of slow, incompetent people in Denver. The temperatures change in a rather hectic manner. It can jump from 30 to 65 degrees in a day.
People can be two dimensional and hard to connect with. The city is spread out so having a car is a must. The city is lacking culturally. It's not as diverse as Boston or San Fran.
3 stars overall.
Los Angeles, CA
re: It's the city of Angeles, but read on.

2/8/2021Okay, great points, why the 4 stars then? it deserves like 2 stars for beaches and weather, that's it.
Salt Lake City, UT
No. -
9/30/2019Nasty air, lots of Mormons and the church does rule the place, though people claim Salt Lake is "liberal." Nasty, tribal attitudes, finding friends, socializing is really hard. Utahns can be very envious, they won't let you excel in a company if you are a smart foreigner. Wages are very low, tenants have no protection from landlords, lots of scumbags and lots of white collar crime in the area. Property crime is VERY high for this size of a city. Salt Lake is a "hidden gem", as they often say, if you're a boring person, or a tired pony in your mid 50's. Otherwise, it's a regressive, repressive place.
Some Pros:
Mountains, lakes, national parks.
Proximity of those.
No traffic jams.
Park City (no other prominent cities, really).
