Btw, 3/4 mill in metro area

Many people fail to realize how crazy both Charleston and Greenville have gotten. The Greenville-Spartanburg metro area is 1.2mill (Greenville area is over 800k).

And Boise MSA is like 3x this.


For most cities, you really have to look at the metro area. For e.g., the Atlanta city limits population is only 450k and change, the MSA is nearing 6million (which doesn't even include areas I now consider super-suburbs--aka part of the CSA, which is 6.3mill and change).

Internationally
1. Auckland (access to Sydney/Fiji)
2. Amsterdam (very underrated imo)
3. Munich (jobs and the Alps)

USA
1. Asheville NC (mountains and beer)
2. Boston (lots to do, close to Maine/NYC)
3. Santa Fe (mountains, art, reasonable COL)

I like Santa Fe too, but it is very far from a big city (unless you group it w Albuquerque).

City is 85kish and MSA is about 2x that (and includes some basically rural Mexico/Native American areas)

The Hispanics of the 1700-1800s in Texas are now a minority among Hispanics. San Antonio was always Hispanic but it definitely wasn't always Mestizo/Mexican.

San Antonio is easily safer than any city its size that is in "The real South".

Yeah, living in SA is like living in Mexico. Most of Texas feels that way due to so many Hispanics everywhere you look.

I live in Texas and see way less Mexicans here than I saw blacks in BR.

I understand why you say Milan after going there last year - the proximity to everything and the surprisingly small number of tourists.
