Really beginning to question why I should live in big cities, especially given that need to travel for consulting work is likely to crash long term due to covid. Proximity to good airports used to be a big factor for me. I don’t see that bouncing back anytime soon.

Re: Ithaca, do you think there was any causation between cheapest and happiest? Also what about the weather?
-
Yes. Weather was great 6 months, awful other 6 months. Don’t like snow

But was college town life a bubble that’s now popped?

I was a postdoc and lived in Newfield outside of Ithaca proper so outside of the bubble

When blue America meets red America. Maybe large population movement could produce purple America? Glimpse of hope out of a pandemic.

The answer I found to this question was small goldilocks cities. - 50k-150K (sweet spot of pop range) - nature (mountains/beach/lake/forest etc) - atleast moderately culture-rich - per capita income > avg of the country - openness/friendly to 'outsiders' (students/travelers etc)pic.twitter.com/YX64MI3THH

* per capita income falls in 1x to 1.5x of (avg PCI of the country)

Smaller metros that have decent transportation links are a good compromise (Columbus, Portland OR, Raleigh, Austin). I can see boutique small towns/college towns (100 to 200K) gaining influence post-pandemic (i.e. Flagstaff, Portland ME).
