Best city to relocate to for a stronger social/dating scene and strong diversity for those of us in mid20s/30s that are more health and fitness inclined. Bonus points if lcol or mid and if people are neighborly.

Dallas. Lots of fit 20-30 somethings in the core neighborhoods (Uptown/Oak Lawn/Knox-Henderson/Lower Greenville)

Not hick vibes at all. I am not from Austin but I’ve spent quite a bit of time there and it’s significantly whiter than the other large cities in Texas. Not saying that is an issue, but it’s definitely noticeable. I also didn’t see very many black people at all (Austin is 7-8% black vs. 24-25% in Dallas and Houston), and I also didn’t see very many Hispanic people except on the outskirts of the city (even though Austin has a large Hispanic population on paper). From the positive PR that Austin receives I was expecting it to be very diverse and it’s not at all. It’s really just white people and a few Asians (7%).

Boston - Very young & diverse due to world class universities, startups, tech and biotech industries. Very walkable/bikeable city, so I often see young folks walking, biking and running for fitness/health reasons. Boston is small and well connected so people hardly own car. Unfortunately it’s HCOL city.

Strong dating scenes at that age are in HCOL areas/ large cities. Chicago is the lowest COL of major U.S. cities, followed by DC area.

Well, where are you now?

Can you work remotely with your job? If you can, I suggest you pick out a few cities that appeal to you and stay in each for a few months. Each city has its own pros abd cons. That should help you find out which one fits your personality best.

Where are located? This is a global app.
I can recommend Amsterdam, Barcelona and Berlin in Europe.

I’ve been meaning to visit but idk how difficult of a transition it would be for an American working in tech and how likely to would be for me to experience racism. I do need to visit Amsterdam though

May be a controversial recommendation, but Minneapolis/St Paul

I absolutely love the twin cities and hope to move back one day… but they do not meet the neighborly criteria. Super hard to make friends because everyone is friends with their childhood friends and the Minnesota nice issue

Lots of right wing hysteria about liberals trying to engineer equality of outcome to correct sexual/racial inequities (in higher ed, for example).
