My new job is allowing me to pick from 3 cities to move to. I’m a single straight 28M. My TC would be around 160k. Would you rather live in San Diego, Los Angeles, or Denver? And why?

Denver.

I’d take SD over Denver if you don’t care about money. If you care about money, Denver, but COL is rising here. Beach > Mountains for me. Also depends on what you like to do in your free time, if you aren’t into the outdoors denver drops to a mediocre city.

Los Angeles only because of the food

I’m 28F and moved to LA this year. So far I’m loving it!! Lots to do, perfect weather. Only real downside is that everything is very expensive but on your salary you should be fine

Also- if you’re white you can go anywhere but Denver and SD aren’t really diverse so something to consider

Thank you for sharing! I cannot ever understand the feeling of being the odd one out, nor is there really a solve.

Activity wise, when I’m not hiking, biking, skiing, rafting - I go to concerts, attend stand-up/improv shows and see plays (all at drastically different venues and of varying genres). What other activities would be beneficial to have around?

Food wise, I eat at Thai, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Latin, Middle Eastern and Ethiopian places, amongst other places with non-IPA fueled gastropub menus. What other cuisines would you like to see represented?

I say all of this because I am trying to bring to light the concept that these detractors are slowly being rectified and if I can attend my neighborhood planning meetings to help improve what’s available, I want to do so.

No bad options. I’d vote LA or Denver. Similar outdoor activities. Better food and nightlife in LA and probably more career opportunities. Denver is a ton of fun and a really comfortable lifestyle but it is still a small city. Resided in both for 2 years, currently in Denver and like it better but I’m older than you and married.

Los Ángeles is amazing but pricey

Not LA

Denver is expensive

All of these are expensive?
