My social situation has collapsed so I’m basically gonna have to start over from scratch. I’d rather not do it in my truck-nuts anti-pedestrian small city with a ton of negative associations. I can kind of move anywhere but I don’t have the energy to go somewhere random and hope for the best.
I’d love to live somewhere where I don’t have to own a car. Big enough and with enough stuff to do so I can try to cast a wide net and grow some sort of social group before I die of loneliness. But also where I could afford like a studio apartment on the average entry level wage in the city.
Might be too much to ask with current housing prices.
Any suggestions?
Edit: thank you all! I’ll start checking out jobs/apts in the cities mentioned. 
You know, one reason why I’ve never seriously considered living in the USA (aside from other issues like healthcare) is how car-focused a lot of cities seem to be. There are plenty of countries with solid public transportation, but the US just seems to suck in that department. Im sure other Hexbears have more valuable input on that front.
Obviously, I’d never even think about the USA if I wasn’t well-off.
yeah, you are either very poor or looked at as crazy if you dont have a personal automobile in the majority of american cities. and even the poor might be catching a ride with other people, the transit is that bad/nonexistent
