Good luck with the job lead.

Just saw this....I moved from a Seattle suburb. Cost of living was very high. Not sure how one calculates the average cost of living....I just know it was expensive! But even worse, in my opinion, was the intense overpopulation! Maybe one would expect it living in the city proper, but I was in a suburb 20 miles southeast of the city, and people just moved there in droves! It was insane and never ending! Very stressful!

Just moments ago, in reviewing various city rankings, I discovered this gem:

Cleveland ,Cincinnati, Columbus, and Canton doing well in these national real estate metrics:

Funny I just left an area, Portland, where we used to be in the top 5 seemingly all the time. Percentages must be shifting to see Ohio represented so well.

Fantastic to see Cleveland and Cincinnati in the top 5 for most improved.

Livability says: The key factor on these lists are affordability.
What matters most to you when you’re deciding where to live?

That’s what we asked 1,000 millennials across the country in an exclusive survey.

Their #1 answer, by a landslide? Affordability

Frankly for me I choose to live in great areas which tend to be more costly, most desirable destinations have higher cost of living. It’s like property values, the more desirable the more the property costs. Obviously I’m not a millennial..

The doesn't surprise me. A friend of mine in Portland lives in one of the most desirable Portland neighborhoods along Hawthorne Blvd, or at least it used to be. I lived in that neighborhood for nearly thirty of the forty years I lived in Portland. I watched it go from what was considered to be a slum by Portland standards to the first neighborhood in the city to be gentrified.

This friend has had her duplex on the market for about four months or more now. A few years ago it would have been gone in an afternoon. The neighborhood has been ruined by over-building and terrible overcrowding. Not so desirable any longer. I hope she is able to get rid of it soon. It's a great house but people are just not eager to buy there any longer.

Well dang, I fall into one of the metrics mentioned in the article of relocated people working with Rocky River Howard Hanna:

Furthermore, Skantzos estimates that about 20 to 25 percent of the work at Howard Hanna's Rocky River office is handling relocations to the Cleveland area.

Are you going to get your friend to move to Cleveland?
