Thinking about leaving NYC. I love NY- food, diversity, vibe. But I feel like I want to try something new and of course a bit cheaper rent wouldn’t hurt. Would love to be in a diverse city with other young professionals. Preferably wouldn’t not want a place that ges any colder than NYC would get in the winter. Any suggestions?

Have lived in both NYC and Chicago, live in Chicago now. For OPs reference, winters are relatively similar

Honestly American cities aren’t that good. The only legit cities are DC, SF, LA, Chicago & NYC. I feel like all medium cities are the same lol for reference I live in Austin which is a lot of fun and cheap but moving out after 2 years bc I miss the big city vibe. Maybe DC would work for you?

Currently in Boston (which I love) but I feel you. I’m also looking for a change. I know you said you’re looking for somewhere warmer but Boston is a cleaner and more intimate version of nyc. Lots of young and very educated professionals.

I would recommend looking into Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, or Charlotte.

DC is dope. If you want a good midsized city that’s more affordable and growing fast ( but less diverse) try Raleigh NC

like

I second Raleigh as a good place to raise a family but a bad place to experience your mid 20s to mid 30s. Charlotte is good if you’re not ready to settle down just yet.

I love Philly. It’s walkable, has a chill vibe, and surprisingly really good food. It also has a lot of culture and city pride. And rent is CHEAP compared to DC, Boston, NY, etc. There aren’t as many consultants in Philly as in other cities but I find that a lot of my “professional” friends are moving there now in their mid-later 20’s.

Some people recommended LA and DC but I personally hate how unwalkable LA is, and feel like DC doesn’t feel as diverse/cultural as other cities.

like

WRT to LA, by and large, yes it's unwalkable, but there are a bunch of walkable neighborhoods. Live in Santa Monica, or downtown Culver, or DTLA. (yes I know Santa Monica and Culver are technically not LA, but still)

Chicago forsure

Boston/Philly/DC are all too similar to NYC imo. If you want a real change in a big city I would try SF or LA. If you're open to a smaller city Seattle or Portland could be cool too. Basically step out of the east coast rate race and chill somewhere hippie for a bit, do some more outdoorsy stuff, see the other side of the country

I’ve been thinking similarly. Maybe Chicago

Austin, TX. It’s pretty nice and growing rapidly. I live in nyc but I’m here for my masters and it’s been great. Cheaper rent. Lots of food and diversity and a lot of outdoorsy stuff you can do all year round

Columbus Ohio

Highly recommend Charlotte North Carolina. Great weather, people, and jobs. Also with all the pro sports teams, mountains and ocean

Go to state without state taxes - Fl, Tx….

Question about inclusion…. I’ve been teaching inclusion for 5 years so I’m still a newb, but a first year coworker of mine said she got points off on her observation because her kids were scattered in the classroom and she was having to move from kid to kid to assist. While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?

Is QEF inclusion dividend or not? Sometimes, I see QEF inclusion reported on Line 11i and sometimes on Line 6a. I think we can rely on Sec. 1293(c) but I think it’s not foolproof. My hunch is since QEF regime is tailored to treat the PFIC similar to domestic mutual funds, we should not treat the QEF inclusion as dividends. Any help is appreciated.

My wife and I are moving to Boston from overseas (we’re from Italy and we’ve recently won the diversity visa green card lottery).

We are looking to rent a 1BR starting in January, ideally for ~$3k/month. I’ll be working in the downtown area.

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!
