Safe Neighborhoods In US

[Spekulatius]

Cambridge MA and its surrounding towns

Brookline MA

If Boston is enough city for you, then Boston (and burbs) >>  NYC, imo. Even though MA is called taxachusets, the taxes In MA are lower than CA and NY.

Nashville TN is growing very fast. The suburbs are great and it's enjoying a building boom the last few years.
People fleeing Chicago/suburbs and California are accelerating the growth.

I would chose Austin, TX over Nashville, if I were to pick a boomtown. I don’t think it’s in BG2008 alley, but Raleigh, NC or Denver would be great picks for me. Since I am a small town guy, I would pick Boulder or Colorado Springs over Denver and Asheville over Raleigh and I like Flagstaff, AZ much more do then the hellhole Phoenix.

Each it’s own. What I don’t get is moving Florida where a lot of NY seems to go. Boring landscapes , trashy, hurricane hazards, terrible climate unless live right at the coast and like boating.

I have been told that atlanta is generating buzz among those considering leaving NYC.  delta hub makes air travel easy, assuming there will be air travel. lots of parks. lots of new high rise apts. many parts walkable. good diverse restaurant scene. lots of transplants so not provincial.  moderate winter (and NYCers can take the heat in summer).
