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.
