I have lived in Columbus for 29 yrs, I'm originally from Michigan. Top reasons I love Columbus:

1. Diversity- at all income levels there is racial diversity in most neighborhoods, even in the suburbs. There are not many neighborhoods here that are all one race. You can be in the hood, and its still multiracial.

2. Affordable - I'm a single mom and I own my own 3br, 1 bath home in quiet neighborhood. I pay about $1000 a month mortgage. I lived comfortable on a $50k salary. Other cities in the US I might be homeless on the same salary.

3. People are friendly - people will strike up conversations with you at the store, smile at you when walking past, hold the door for you...even help out with a flat tire in some cases.

4. A lot of jobs opportunities in Healthcare, banking, finance and education.

These are my top reasons to live here!

Buying local is a plus, not a negative. Most people support local businesses.

Yep. I’ve lived in Columbus most of my life but have also lived on the east coast and Tokyo. By far the people in Ohio seemed to be the friendliest.

I’m moving to Columbus from warren Ohio with my mom and 2 sisters and nephew they’re coming up in 2 weeks we’re originally from Texas but been here since 2005 they left back to texas 4 years ago ago but are returning. Yes texas is our home state but me and my siblings have grown up in Ohio this is our real home! Good content by the way, love it! Thank you

Depends where you live. But I notice mostly chain restaurants and the same stuff over and over again. Not everyone can afford to live in Dublin or German Village or Short North. I see a Starbucks, a chipotle a Kroger and CVS on every main road everywhere. Cameron Mitchell restaurants everywhere. Every community has the same chains.

I just recently started a landscaping company in Columbus Ohio I've lived here my whole life but I feel like the last few years have been unpredictable

There are BIG BOX stores here if you want to go

Everywhere you go in this country they say if you don't like the weather wait five minutes.

The heaviest rain that I've ever seen, was in Columbus, Ohio.

The real list: 1) the crime is outrageous, 2) the taxes provide you with no benefits you would get in other cities, 3) there’s almost nothing to do outdoors from a sports perspective, 4) the trash in the common areas is outrageous, 5) the city is being rebuilt, but that’s because large swaths of the city are impoverished, 6) fentanyl creeps it’s way into these supposedly wonderful schools, 7) crime, crime, crime… put some copper gutters on your house? Stolen. Drive to Polaris with your family? Get shot at. Nice family time downtown? See an open drug deal. Go shopping on high street? Get accosted by a homeless person. Send your kid to OSU? Have them robbed.
Bonus 8) Most folks in Ohio are delusional and think the state is amazing. Ohio is failing in many many metrics. What would really help Ohio would be to deal with these problems rather than encouraging the constant mass consumption of alcohol and nearly continuous deflection as seen in videos like this one.

Nice to see and hear what's life looks like in this part of US. Thanks for video. Best wishes from Serbia/Europe.

I have lived in Columbus for 40 years and find it to be a great place to live. I have to be honest and say that these criticisms don't really resonate with me. Pear trees that smell bad? Really?

My elementary in Cleveland closed down 20 years ago next 😂

Have lived in the US in Norcal and Upstate NY. The seven things we need to know before moving to Ohio, as compared to what I have seen in Cal/NYS, are pretty ‘mild’. Any case, thanks for sharing. Great to know that the city/state are safer than the places I lived in before. :)

[kimcircagirl]

Thankyou So Much for this super informative video, oh thankyou!

[starridae]

The DNR has banned planting Bradford pear trees starting next year, thank goodness.

Glad I’ve been here for over 22 years now.

Ok there is nothing but big box stores here. You must live in the suburbs because I do all my shopping at bix box stores. And property taxes are high. The schools get a big chunk and so does our Zoo. We have the larhest Zoo in the country. Columbus is actually a very nice place to live
