Top 10 Cities People Regret Moving To.

Top 10 Cities People Regret Moving To.

Life can be unpredictable, and things can change in a heartbeat. In February I ran a survey where I ask people who had moved to a new city in the last 2 years if they regret the move, which city, and why?
Like I said in the state version of this series that people
in the survey gave reasons that were all over the place. I got a lot of answers and a lot of cities. As you can imagine the larger the city the more people moved there, so we got more responses. After #2 on this list, I will tell you some of the smaller cities that had a good amount of votes.
these 10 are the ones that showed up most often. I will tell you what city the people regretted moving to and the reasons I found in each city the most often.

Do you need a local Realtor for the area you want to move to?

My sister lived in San Francisco and her friends car got stolen and the police refused to investigate even when the car was actively being tracked. So he went and took it back himself from the thief’s driveway. SF has really embraced lawlessness.

Glad to see Honolulu on this list! The cost of housing has skyrocketed recently, as well as the rents (from what I've heard). Many local families have gotten priced out, but people keep coming trying to make it in paradise, and sadly end up houseless.

I was born and raised in Miami and I think you hit the nail on the head. Apart from being increasingly overcrowded, Miami has an identity crisis. On one hand you have the locals and immigrants that have lived in the city for years and are now being either priced out or forced to cut serious costs to afford living in Miami, and on the other you have the extremely weathly out of state transplants that come to live their Miami Vice fantasies. The result is a culture that promotes wealth even if you don't have it. You need to peacock to get someone's attention and that just isn't who I am so I decided to move in 2020 with my girlfriend (now wife) to Denver.

Lived in Anchorage for 10 years and yes if you are not used to the cold and dark winters where you typically have sunlight from 10 AM to 3 PM then it is an issue and it can get real depressing

My daughter and her husband, both medical professionals, were sent to Fresno in 2020 for Covid relief. They were warned not to leave the hotel after dark. Scary $hit.

Wow, Plano, TX came up on this list (well honorable mention). Been here 20 of the last 26 years....and I agree, it's getting too crowded and too expensive.

I was born and raised in San Francisco I can definitely tell you that the parking situation is really bad. I am very privileged to have the ability to reserve my own parking in my apartment building but I know many don’t have that ability. I am also in the pacific heights neighborhood so because of that I am able to walk to a lot of places but it would be nice to take my car too. 😅😅

This was really interesting, and insightful. l wouldn't have thought of Honolulu or San Francisco. I grew up in South Florida and a lot of people regret moving there because they visited as Tourists and fell in love with the beaches and weather, but then after moving they have to deal with every day life, traffic, crime and housing, high insurance, as well as the daily grind. That was not their expectation, so disappointment ensues. The same is probably somewhat true of Honolulu and San Francisco.

Gotta love the picture of the cougar. Comedy gold. 🙂

How about cities and States that people loved moving to or regret not moving to sooner?

[joeneri]

This video needs a part 2. Because there are a lot of crappy cities people regret moving to.

[carlabattershaw]

Love the education and the sense of humor! Thank you!

I wonder if there's data on cities or states people regret leaving, or cities people leave then come back to. That might be an interesting video.

My city of San Diego has become a tough place to live in. Rents are ridiculous. Practically no affordable housing available. The downtown area is sketchy. Lots of experience high rise apartments in downtown which has displaced the scores of people who were able to find reasonably priced apartments there. San Diego Unified School District isn't bad, but it ain't that good.

It is not just wealth disparity, it is that the way low income people build wealth have disappeared. Earning interest on saving, entry level housing, expensive higher education and health care. This leads to homelessness... Not every homeless person lives on a sidewalk in a cardboard box... I have seen people changing clothes out of the trunk of their car in the Camarillo library parking lot. When you get homeless, you life begins to fall apart. You mentioned homelessness 12 times in the course of you excellent video but it's a symptom not the cause and it is about to get a lot worse...

Visiting Tulsa for work opened my eyes to the fact that real America looks very different from what's represented in media.

I live in Anchorage and I'd say it's a great place to live. The crime in Anchorage comes in two varieties: domestic violence and disputes during drug sales. Not a lot of crime otherwise. But it's a fun place to live. We got moose walking around downtown!

I live in a small town in rural WA that once had a paper mill. The smell is truly something else, no way to describe it beyond chemicals and rotting wood.

I moved to Cincinnati almost 8 years ago. I love this City. It’s highly underrated. There is so much to see and do here, plus your smack dab in the Center of the Eastern United States! I also love the fact that it’s in 3 states(Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana).
