Toledo sucks!

I live in a nearby suburb, Perrysburg which is considered one of the nicest suburbs in this area but I'm in Toledo at least a few times a week. I would not live in Toledo if you paid me. There are a few nice areas, but the schools are horrible, so if you have kids, the only option is private schools. The majority of the city is run down and scary looking. Some people on here have said there is a lot to do but I've been here 2 years and I've done pretty much all there is to do, which is not much. I have lived in Chicago, all over Michigan, and Boise, Idaho and Toledo by far is my least favorite.
Yes, the cost of living is cheap but who cares if quality of life sucks. There is absolutely no night life and trying to go downtown is scary-it's like a ghost-town. Many people unfortunately have to stay here because if they do have a job, they don't want to lose it and/or can't sell their houses. I've been here 2 years and haven't found a job with a Bachelor's degree; thankfully my spouse has a good job. So, if u care anything about quality of life, do not move here!
