Columbus is a great city to live in

I have read several posts saying how bad Columbus is. I have read a few positive posts though. I think it is funny that some of these people that are posting have never grown up in or truly lived in Columbus for a long length of time. Columbus has a lot of different things to offer. It has great places to shop. Polaris Fashion Place is the best mall I have been to yet. It has a great night life. I went to OSU so believe me when I say that Columbus is a party town. OSU is the largest school in the US. Columbus must be doing something right for their students. It is very diverse. I have read all your comments about there being no diversity. It is funny that you say that. I live in LA now and I find that all races tend to keep to themselves. There is quite a bit of racism between all of the races out here. Black and Hispanic hate crimes are on the rise. We are talking about a city of 3,000,000 people. I don't think diversity is based on how many people of different races are in a city. I think it is based on whether the races actually interact. I have found very few cities that have a true melting pot atomosphere. I have a couple of friends that are gay (one coming from Cali.) that have said Columbus is the gay capital of the midwest. Example, the Short North and German Town. There are so many rainbow signs waving it isn't funny. Another thing, Columbus is a very liberal city. They are primarily democratic and liberal. I think it is funny that this guy (from Detroit of all places) is complaining about Columbus. Detroit looks like it was hit by an atomic bomb in most places. Columbus has a lot of hot bands that come to it; almost every band you can think of has come to Columbus. I have a harder time finding some bands in LA. I can't even believe he would actually compare Columbus to Detroit. That is actually quite funny. I have lived in LA for three years and I think Columbus has everything LA just on a smaller scale. At least, we get our monies worth for housing in Columbus. You should see what you get (it isn't pretty) for $1,000,000 in LA. You'll get a mansion for that price in Ohio. Delaware County, Ohio would not be the 11th fastest growing county in the US if Columbus sucked. BTW, LA is ranked third for the fatest city in the country. There weren't any Ohio cities on the top ten list. I think it is funny that Columbus is being called fat when the city of plastic surgery is one of the fatest. That is hysterical. Bott
