Not sure how you have privacy concerns in metros that large, but I’d be interested to hear what the people in your new metro area say about your old metro area.

Either way, you still moved to a city, so the local politics aren’t likely all that different. Though you did make sure to mention it a few times.
- prottog 4y agoFrom the point of view of my new city, there's typical banter about how silly/crazy/whatever "those people over there" are, though there is a general consensus that the people of my old city are richer. There's no equivalent to the people of my old city dismissing this region as a "shithole" or "third-world country", I guess because objectively there is more wealth there. People here generally feel that they are freer here and prefer to make that tradeoff against more money.
- sure_about_that 4y agoI’m fascinated by how different people define being “free”. From my perspective legal sports betting, legal medical and recreational marijuana, not banning books, not dictating what teachers can/can’t teach, freedom to protest without being run-over, biometric privacy, and choice for women makes for a “freer” place than having loose gun laws and slightly lower taxes.
