I'd love a States version of this video too.
I second this.
Third.
Fourth
Nah, there is SUCH a big difference between cities across most states. Seattle vs. Spokane, WA. Buffalo vs. NY, NY. Etc. Etc.
You can bet Utah will be in top 5 for 2024 states. It's booming economically, low violent crime, abundance if sunshine, friendly people
Norwich, CT!… my hometown lol. Born and raised for 18 years. Never moved back once I left but it was a great town to grow up in. NFA was the best high school. Crazy to see this on the list!
Interesting video Briggs. I moved to the Winston-Salem area last summer from the Denver area. It's a nice place to live overall, but it both surprised and didn't surprise me it made it on this list. It's in an arguably overlooked region between Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham. It is incredibly cute aesthetically. It can honestly look like a Thomas Kinkade painting at times and in certain places. Most neighborhoods in Winston-Salem itself have an aesthetic and vibe that reminds me of places I have seen experience heavy gentrification where I'm from. It appears to have a vibrant economy. You have access to everything you need (shopping, medical care, etc.). Right now the downtown is relatively quiet compared to bigger cities. If you're from a large city, it's conveniently small. Nearly everything is a 5 to 20 minute drive away. Its location allows easy access to the nearby mountains, and it's close enough to the coast that people here regularly go there to boat, fish and hang out on the beach, yet far enough away that hurricanes are not normally a concern. Right now houses are relatively affordable. Winters are mild, if you are from the North. Spring and fall are beautiful. There is a mix of native North Carolinians and people from other parts of the country, so you won't be alone, if you're from somewhere else, but you still get to experience the South. It's not as pretentious as many other cities I have lived in and visited. Most parks are really nice. Having said the above, Winston-Salem also comes with its hazards and I have some complaints.
Some parts of the Winston-Salem area are dangerously violent. It's easy to get murdered or in a fight here. Housing prices are going up, and houses sell quickly, if they are in a good location and in a good neighborhood. If one hasn't sold quickly, it's probably right next to a busy road (common here), there is something wrong with it, or it's overpriced. Some neighborhoods are better than others, but, if you like walkable neighborhoods and a walkable city where you are not required to own an automobile, I would recommend looking elsewhere. Sidewalks are infrequent, they often end abruptly and crosswalks are usually an afterthought, if they exist at all. If people walk along busier roads, I regularly see them walking along the side of the road on the edge of a ditch in the weeds. They rarely include sidewalks next to traffic lanes on bridges forcing pedestrians to walk in traffic on the bridge (extremely dangerous). Bicycle infrastructure for people who want to commute is best in Winston-Salem itself and almost non-existent in surrounding suburbs. Neighborhood parks are uncommon. The region's road layout formed in the 1700 and 1800's, so it can be confusing to navigate in the beginning. It does improve your spatial reasoning skills though. Summers are warm to hot and uncomfortably humid. There are suburbs and nearby towns where it is common to see people openly carrying handguns which can be unnerving (I support concealed carry for those that qualify). Some suburbs and nearby small towns can be unfriendly towards outsiders, particularly, if they have decided they don't like the city or state you are from (that's where you see a lot of people open carry their firearms). It's not for everyone, but overall I like it here. Like anyplace, it has things I don't like about it, but I have no plan to move right now either.
Go to the Mennonite (?) Christmas thing. It’s really cool. I did it with older relatives about 15 years ago.
@@birbluv9595 I'll check into it. I've been to the popular Amish store a couple of times, but no Mennonite places.
Some people who made it in show business from Appleton. Willem Dafoe. Tyne Daly. Don Ameche. Alfred Lunt. Jackie Mason, and Allen Ludden. And, of course, Harry Houdini.
I live in a small city in Florida and that is Ocala and I never been to these places thank you for showing this to us!
Shout out to my fellow Floridian!
I'd like to see this by region. I'm in the PNW and would like a new place in an affordable area.
West coast wasn't represented at all.
Happy to see Fort Wayne, Indiana get some love! 🙌
Good info - all on the wrong side of the country though. I have standards. ;P
Do you have something against warm weather? I have lived most of my life in Southern California and Florida. So as someone who works from home and wears shorts, tshirts, or short sleeve polos year round, i couldn’t do any on this list, maybe with the exception of Greenville, SC. However, even it is in the North part of SC North of cities like Atlanta and Athens, GA. I have been to Atlanta in the winter and froze my butt off and Greenville gets colder. It seems like you forgot all about the Southeast, South, and West. Can you do a similar video but with all the cities being south of Greenville, SC? Thanks.
Those places are expensive. If it has nice weather and is a good city it will be pricey as can be.
I was just in Greenville SC this past weekend. It is a lively city with awesome people..
Outstanding list! All nice places.
Richmond, VA, is the least friendly city I ever lived in. Couldn't wait to get away from it.
I love Winston Salem. It's a beautiful city.
Youngstown?? Well my family up there will be happy to hear this.
Gee, is there anything west of the Mississippi River? Not everyone digs wall-to-wall trees.
Exciting insights! Discovering the most promising cities fuels hope and opportunity. Can't wait to see how these urban hubs thrive in 2024
I live in mocksville, 45 mins from hickory, and I was thinking it would be cool if he said mocksville, which is all around great town, great schools etc, and then number 1 comes around, Winston Salem, which mocksville is apart of its metro. So cool man, thanks for the shout out. Dead on too if I must say.
I'm shocked and happy that a place from South Carolina made the list. But I'm NOT surprised it's the City of GREENVILLE.
If you're gonna live ANYWHERE in South Carolina. Then the best and ONLY good choices are.....
Myrtle Beach ( if you're rich )
and GREENVILLE.
I like Columbia
If you are doing SC, think Charleston.
I grew up 30 minutes from State College, it really is a great place to be. Smaller town feel with a vibrant downtown, great food scene and fairly walkable. And they have 3 Sheetz 👍🏻
This was a good one Briggs,can you break it down by region,thanks
I would love to see a video about Corpus Christi. Not a city really anybody talks about but it’s a great coastal town and a low cost of living versus the rest of Texas.
Could be amazing if you make a list like this for every state… a lot of work,I know! 😅
Youngstown, OH resident. Great place to live. Very low cost of living.
The only city on this list that even remotely interests me is Richmond, and even then not really. The lack of anything in the center or west of the country is a turnoff for someone who likes warm and dry climate. Also the lack of any city with a population of more than 500K.
I was told to mention to you that Salem College in Winston-Salem also has First women’s educational facility in the country by founding date.. 1772
Why you dont talk about. Madison wisconsin want to know about that place
Fort Wayne is nice. I need a city like it in the south.
Muncie!! My hometown!!
crime is not bad in Greenville. Just one area ruins the stats. I've lived all over. this place is great!
More please😃
All east coast? Should have been titled differently
The east coast has more history
How is Jackson, MS not on this list? Wait I know why. lol
JACKSONVILLE FL.
Norwich benefits greatly from the nearby presence of two enormous Indian gambling casinos and their well-paying jobs.
Go Browns !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
some irony as I think of Youngstown, Ohio as the home of the York family that owns the San Francisco 49ers.
If you weren’t so bias against AZ, you would have included Tucson.
That’s right Tucson didn’t make a list because of some imaginary negative bias I have. Does that really seem logical to you? Don’t play the victim. It’s not a good look.
The entire video is about the east coast 😂
What are some cities with a high percentage overall of young people under 25 that are non-Hispanic White?
Most big cities in the Midwest.
@@JaneDoe-ps6ve now sort by obesity and average IQ score
I don’t get why people want to settle their entire life in one area. To each is their own. Like Grant Cardone said. We are transitioning into an environment where people will own nothing. He’s right.
I guess Toledo ohio is going because there house prices are going way up.
How do you not have 1 city in FLORIDA??
We watch these videos to see which states are best to move to, but before moving anywhere we most likely will scope out the state and see what it’s about. With all that said, I have any idea for a video as usual. Most popular attractions per state by % free of charge & not free. 🤔
Just something to throw out. I grew up in Las Vegas and moved to Reno 10 years ago. For whatever reason, I feel like Reno gets lost statistically. It's a great place to live. Great down town, great weather, Tahoe, world class skiing, relatively affordable compared to California, 4 hours from the Bay area and plenty to do. Maybe us locals are gate keeping it haha.
Did 4 years in the Navy so I was acquainted with Fallon back in the late 80's. Went thru there recently and that place had grown. Great retirement community.
Lived in the area 2009 thru end of 2011. Loved it and the Tahoe winters and even summers. I do regret leaving.
@@Dollsteak69Same here but I left there about 12 years ago. I definitely loved the mountains around the base and definitely Reno and Tahoe. I skiied every place in the basin open to the public and Mammoth except a couple on Donner summit.
I love Reno. I wouldn't mind moving there either
Is the weather really that good? I lived in PHX for a year and I didn't think I'd make it 😭
So happy to see you talk about Appleton, Wisconsin! We moved here in 2007 and love it! It’s also one of the best places in the country for kids with autism. And I’ve met plenty of other autism parents who moved here for the exact same reason!
Plus you’re not too far from Lambeau for Packers games
@@hangtimestudio that’s why opposing teams stay at a hotel in Appleton!
When Prince William was born, the radio station gave him souvenirs with his initials on them: WAPL, William Arthur Philip Louis.
I’m 16 bout to be 17 but I find ur videos entertaining and funny but I just wanted to ask what your average viewer age because u be making jokes that I won’t be able to relate to for a good20 years
I'm guessing 40's, but I'm 75. 😮
Ohio is currently building not 1, but 2, of the most advanced microchip manufacturing industrial centers in the world. Ohio is definitely going to be more relevant economically to the country than ever before, and within this decade.
Who cares. It’s ohio. It’s dismal. It’s grey. It’s dull. It’s devoid of culture. If mediocre were a place it would be Ohio. The best part of being there is leaving. It is the armpit of civilization. Ohio is where dreams go to die. Nobody says they’re excited to move to Ohio because there’s nothing exciting about Ohio. If I had to pick a year in Ohio or a month in jail, I’d buy my own county blues and arrive with a smile.
😮
Ohio is still a horrible place to live 😂
Yeah, but you're still in Ohio.
Ohio is a wonderful place to live 😊
Briggs, I doubt I'm the only one who appreciates ANYTHING you do. Keep it coming, my friend!
Appleton is the cutest American town name.
I beg to differ with your statement that if the price of houses goes up that means the area is getting better. 💯 % inaccurate in Southern California. Cost of housing is up drastically and so is crime. San Bernardino California is one example of what I’m saying.
I cannot overstate how glad I am to see Fort Wayne represented!! I grew up there and moved away recently. They’ve began building so many great amenities for the city! Under the radar arts, food, and beer scene. Good local minor league sports. Great place to raise a family. Sad to see it’s most rapid progress being done in the last several years after I left, makes me want to move back eventually.
Where did you move to?
@@seamonie48 attending grad school in St. Louis currently. Incidentally, I love St. Louis despite its rep. Maybe I’m automatically optimistic about where I live lol
@@lucasmooibroek1171 I think that optimism is awesome and is something I also share in my mentality where I live too so there's more of us out there than you think❤️
It’s actually unbelievable how much better Fort Wayne has gotten. Growing up there was never a reason to go downtown, now it’s hard to find a reason not to.
@@seamonie48 all love
With Winston-Salem you forgot the number of colleges/universities including the North Carolina School of the Arts ( both the high school and university), Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem State University and Salem College.
I've always thought that Winston-Salem was terribly underrated. Now I'm quite happy to hear that the city has achieved a #1 spot as a desirable place to move to!
Thanks for a great video Briggs,
You've made my day!😊
i’m about to move out of the Greenville SC area. it isn’t bad but not ideal for those of us who aren’t married with children.
Same
The real estate in Winston Salem has increased immensely and one cannot find a good home (2 br) for less than 250. Nice town, great people.
Greensboro and Fayetteville could probably be next??
NOOOO!!! Don't move to Appleton!!! We like the way it is.
Yeah I was thinking the same. Just about WI in general...moved here 18yrs ago. I love the people they are the nicest and it is a beautiful state.
State College PA crime rate plummeted after they locked up Jerry Sandusky….
Wow....LOL
State College has always been a nice place to be. Lots of building over the last decade.
No place is good. The whole country is going to hell. If you own a home, stay there. Don’t be a fool
Finally some Richmond VA representation
Richmond, is high on my list for cities to move, this city has alot going for it right now
X10 better than DC elites or Baltimore ghettoness
The city of the Triple A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves. Richmond, VA
Wow, not a good place west of the Mississippi?
Many Western states still have a frontier mentality and like guns, hence crime rates. See Texas or why famous mass shootings happen in Colorado or Arizona.
@@letitiajeavons6333 That's funny I'm pretty sure just about everybody here in West Virginia owns a gun or more and we are like one of the states you never really hear any school shootings about and not very much violent crime... And West Virginia is not out west.
Using median home price would be more telling of the housing situation.
I love Wisconsin! Went through there and thought it was one of the nicest states I’d ever seen. Madison was a cool place I’ll be sure to check out Appleton.
I live there, it’s a great city
I considered Ithaca years ago, but the property taxes were too high.
Interesting that all cities were east of the Mississippi. Any thoughts on why that was?
Because those West have gone up a lot and have had a lot of publicity; here he's talking about some that have lagged behind and may now be undervalued.
Affordability.
#3 had me gagged. All I’m going to say is that Ohio is cheap for a reason.
What's the reason(s)?
wow the avergae home is $52k in youngston ohio. i may need to move there as a 100% disabled vet, my money can go a long way there.
Almost all Northern States. Piece of advice, STAY AWAY from the Southern States for a ton of reasons...high crime being one of them!!!
Yep. Tennessee one of the worst. Dont go there. Nothing but rednecks and metheads
Nothing out West?
Everything nice out West is fucking expensive! Really expensive.
Nothing out West????
Probs just too expensive overall, and the up-and-coming places(i.e. Boise) up-and-came already.
@@mjrtensepian1727except Boise was never bad like these places
@@skurinski This isn't a list of places that *were* bad. Its just lower profile cities, with decent metrics, that are gaining momentum. Much like Boise(or Bend, or Bellingham) 5-10 years ago.
Out of these places, I'd take either State College, PA or Appleton, WI.
What about the fast growing cities out in the western half of the US? :}
Youngstown Ohio ??? LOL Somebody has clearly never lived in Ohio
Same thing I was thinking lol.. and at number 3?! Wtf lol
You forgot Hooterville, South Park, Haven and Mayberry
That's Hootersville for Lisa Douglas!
Richmond is South of the Richmen. yeah, I know. Couldn't help that one.
If home values are increasing by as much as in many of the cities listed here...that doesn't necessarily mean that particular city is "on the upswing." It's more indicative of out of control inflation that must be addressed before it leads to scenarios where economies suffer. A big reason for home price increases is supply chain disruptions and scarcity of building materials.
My family is from Greenville SC. Love it there. I have s brother who lives in Morganton NC next to Hickory. Its a lovely city too.
The Piedmont-Triad (Winston-Salem/Greensboro) has something like 1.7 million in the metro and is basically never talked about. Other than furniture manufacturing it's not really known for anything.
Yet the times I've been there the area seemed to have all modern big city amenities, the people were friendly (much friendlier than in Charlotte or Asheville) and the cost of living was quite cheap for such a large metro.
I definitely think it will be on some "hot places to move" lists soon.
I recently moved from Randallstown, Maryland which is northwest of Baltimore to Highland Springs, Virginia which is about 3 miles east of Richmond, Virginia. You're right Richmond is making a comeback. Lots of historical places to visit. Lots of bars and restaurants that remind me of downtown Baltimore. Cost of living is a little bit cheaper here. But I made more money in Maryland. But so far I like living here
But you also paid more taxes in MD, as it is a Big Tax state.
@tedmaynard7326 absolutely!
Oh I almost forgot Briggs ( Get it, Got it ,Good !!) Dude, your great! Hey you should do a video on the shithole I live in. Not far from you either, Yakima WA,
Get it, Got it, Good.
Grennville has already made it, its astoundingly beautiful there and expensive. Spartanburg I would say is promising, they are building lots of new homes, a new baseball field downtown, many new great quality restaurants.Lots of jobs there too.
hickory is awful. i don't even like stopping there. state college is only good if you're college-aged or an alcoholic.
So it's like Tallahassee, FL ?
Well I finally get to say it on a Briggs video..State College doesn’t need any more people! Go to Lancaster 😂
One thing that has not been talked about in this thread is healthcare, and that should be a major consideration for everyone. The Cleveland Clinic is ranked as the No. 2 hospital in the WORLD.
University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center is one of the top rated hospitals in the U.S. and the
Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center is the third largest VA hospital in the U.S.
The Centers for Medicare & Medical Services (CMS) awarded the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA
5-stars in their annual rankings. If healthcare is important to you, Ohio is not a bad place to live.
VOTRE SANTE 👍
Please do more videos like this one, I'm from Argentina and My dream is move out to usa
Go to Florida
Thanks for the video Mr. Briggs. So many neat places in the USA to see and visit or live. It's so big and diverse.
They're building the 21st century right now and in the United States. But, China, Japan, The Netherlands, Sweden, Norway have already done so
youngstown is the most depressing city i have ever seen in america. worst than beaumont texas. thats one sad, segregated and hateful city. could you imagine someone seeing this video and moving there? SAD.
Please continue the negative comments about St. Louis. It is a great place to live and your negativity will keep the crowds away😊
That place is a shit hole
Richmond Virginia here but I’ve been ready to move! 😅
How come?
I hear a saying once and it gave me better way of thinking if you don’t like it where your at move your not a tree.
lol you called Winston Salem area hickory :) I catched it
Hey Briggs. How does my college town, Kalamazoo compare? We're like the little brother to Grand Rapids.
ruclips.net/video/pvDxGC1tWrg/видео.htmlsi=l_JW-wmK-0Mnz5ZW
He mentioned Kalamazoo in this video at around 7:13
And if you don’t trust a random link from an internet stranger, it’s his video on where you can live/retire on $1800 a month he posted recently.
Fort Wayne is awesome. Lived there for a little bit and loved it, but it is already getting more crowded when I went to visit. So still great but not as kept of a secret as it was a few years ago
Damn, I was waiting for you to correct your “College Station” mistake after the intentional UPenn/Penn State set up, but it didn’t happen. I’ll stop typing now.
I live about an hour from Greenville and I'm glad its growing so much. Its driving up real estate so much in another year or so i can dump my house for triple what i paid and GTFO. SC sucks overall😂
Western half of the US left the chat
So did florida
Been asking this forever now, PLEASE do a full video on Fort Wayne Indiana, I don't care what it's about just make one or two PLEASE briggs?!! ❤
Fort Wayne? Youngstown? I don't know. Fort Wayne is one of the most dangerous cities in Indiana. It was getting some good press a couple of years ago, and a guy I knew from Fort Wayne went crazy telling everybody how horrible it was. Youngstown is better than it used to be, but how it used to be was all the law enforcement folk in Ohio and Pennsylvania would make escape plans and be sure to check in with their agencies before and after every investigative stop.
As a resident, Fort Wayne has more crime now, including shooting deaths, which are troubling, but the crime is proportional to the big jump in population over the last dozen years, or so. Most shootings seem to be drug related, and we suffer from the same general malaise that affects cities this size and larger: the criminal elements settle everything with a gun or a knife. During Covid bank and business robberies went up, but since then there are thousands of new jobs.
Yeah it's very sad. A lot of great people, but hit hard by drugs. Like so many Midwest towns. I'm glad to hear your economy is doing well.@@timothymoorman7437
Provide one statistic about Fort Wayne being one of the most dangerous cities in Indiana, as well as what does that mean for day-to-day life? Someone familiar with the city would understand a large proportion of crime in the city is congregated in the southeast side. Further it is no where near as dangerous as surrounding cities are. It’s still getting great press (e.g. All-America City 2021, US News & World Report best metro to live in, in Indiana 2023). Consistently known for our minor league sports teams, downtown revival & development of the 2010s-2020s, and current massive inflow of development money. You don’t have to love Fort Wayne, it’s still got the Midwest boring aspect, but deriding it as one of the most dangerous is nuts. Sure there is crime, but compared to the rest of the rust belt Great Lakes region, it’s far from a dangerous place to live. It’s on an incredible up swing and there’s a reason so many are proud to live here. I welcome you to come visit our city & see.
Omg! Oh no, Fort Wayne is the most dangerous place to live. Now I'm scared to come to work. I'm from Toronto, Canada and I was planning to work next year because I have received a job offer from Lutheran Hospital as a staff nurse. I chose Fort Wayne compared to my other job offers in different states because Fort Wayne is close to Toronto. Your comment has made me feel very afraid to come now.
Rest assured that thousands of people travel to and from the edge of town Lutheran is on (very nice, btw), and I can recall actually no one being in danger or harmed in their travels. Even in the city, if you're not into crime, you are not at risk.@@JustMeandMeandMeandMe
Briggs what are your thoughts on boulder Colorado
It is over priced and full of homeless pan handling urban outdoorsmen. Libs have ruined Colorado and many of them reside in Boulder.
If considered a "city," I'd nominate Walla Walla for an up and coming small urban area. Just saying.
11:34 - “…Detroit to the south?” ???? Detroit is NE of Fort Wayne.
I used to live near Youngstown Ohio and I could see the town getting better because yeah it is a pretty area to live I think because they have some brick road which you don’t really ever see anymore so I thought it was pretty cool.
Can you make a video about the states that allow sports gambling or gambling period and the tax the states receive from it , since sports gambling is very popular nowadays
