I thought genuinely we would love it here given what we like as a family
But the rudeness racism, sexual harassment and severe lack of caring for the environment the rat race and the immense amount of traffic and high cost of living isn’t worth it

I’ve lived in 7? Different states in the USA and this is my least favorite

cost of living is horrendous here for no good reason
Some may argue it’s close to nature and that’s why but again I lived on an island in Alaska with some of the best nature and views and it wasn’t this high cost of living

unfortunately I will get the opportunity to live where I want in 12-15 years because military life requires us to live where they post us and than you can only be so far Out from their requirements

it’s a downfall of my spouse serving the country I guess

I would not have thought of this city as being those things; the only caveat I can offer is that most other places I've lived in the country are worse lol

You perspective will make me reconsider my own.
 
There was only three years that I lived anywhere other than the Sandhill and my wife's house in town. Uncle Sugar had everything to do with that. After short stays in Orlando and Great Lakes, I spent the rest of the time in VA. But it's funny that when I was on the Saipan, living in Norfolk, Suffolk and Chesapeake VA, I always lived across a toll bridge from where the ship was. Toward the end of the month you had to make sure you had enough change to get home and back to work.

All those place had a deep resentment of sailors. And I can't blame them. We were not the best neighbors in the world. At least in VA you could drive to water and woods nearby and mountains not terribly far away. There was nothing much good about Great Lakes. Being from the south, I was used to folks not being rude, even the ones who don't like you. Up there everyone was rude, even folks who did like you. That was the hardest thing for me, just the pure rudeness.

great lakes are awesome but i might be biased since im canadian and grew up in them lol aesthetically pleasing wise personally its pretty. (unless you mean somewhere else??)
I found UP michigan to be quite friendly, but it was a small town 400 people

I find colorado to be the rudest, consistently told to "go the fuck back to where i came from" here because im considered a "transplant"

I agree the rudeness in people makes you not like places, i hate that stuck up attitude ,

I like when i can open a door for someone , or just be generally kind to people throughout my day and have them be kind back, i dont like when people are so stuck up their own asses they arent interested in being just a nice person.

I did have one interaction in Illinois i found quite humorous a guy in uniform probably airforce was walking into a store and i held the door for him and he said thank you to me, and i said sure no problem and than this big fat guy behind me starts yelling SHES NOT AS THANKFUL AS WE ARE FOR YOU

and the air force guy was like sooooo embarrassed like wtf is even happening.

and i was like thinking to myself yeah sure cause i also havent given 10 fucking years of my life moving around for my spouse to serve the country either :roll:
 
By Great Lakes I meant the navy base. I was just up there for a few months of training, so never lived off base. My friends and I did to Milwaukee pretty often. As cities go, it wasn't a bad one.
