Pros & Cons living Madison WI

[drewhunkins]

I've lived in Madison for 24 years, it's great, I love Madison! I love it, but to just dwell on the few bad things about it for a moment:
• the homeless beggars can be aggressive (the city is very safe overall though)
• Most mid-priced restaurants are of low quality
• Lots of marijuana, lots, it’s everywhere
• traffic is bad bc the lakes bottle things up
- lots and lots and lots of street construction
• Housing and rents are too expensive
• Good luck trying to find a dine-in coffee shop open after 8 p.m.
- The winters can be brutal, but just like any Midwestern city

WOW, once again, some stock footage of where I live is included at about 3:30. Has nothing to do with Madison. That is Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. Look at the script on the window at right. That is the pedestrian zone in Garmisch. This bit gets used all the time, for stories about Russia, Alaska, and now Madison. I love Garmisch (been here over 30 years) but am thinking about moving to Madison.

Madison one of the best cities I just hope it doesn’t get ruined by woke culture
