You couldn’t pay me to live in Greenville. Correct me if I’m wrong, is Greenville a college town?

it was cheap until everyone started relocating. The price of the brick went up.

Yes it is.

Miami is looking like $1500 minimum for a studio apartment and you still need a car (I don't consider Miami the South)

NY got studios for $2500

Why wouldn’t Miami be the South?

it’s literally the most southern major city in America (on the map)​

what are these non major cities not in the south that have reliable public transport?

.. that's my point
Everything is spread the fukk out. Drive 5miles to get s food


Rent is cheaper but the cost of living is not

If people were more open to getting their hustle up at their location instead of relocating so fast the cost of living in other cities wouldn’t be jumping so fast.

Miami isn’t even considered the south by many real southern folk and it’s obvious as to why.


Nothing about it screams southern culture other than the black Americans that live there which are few compared to all the Latinos.


But geographically it is the south

Depends where.

Would want to live there anyway.

Just visit.

Auto repair - You will deal with those more frequently in a city where you have to drive a lot

I knew a breh who would get a nice tax refund every year. And every year he would end up spending it on car maintenance. This went on for like 5 years, it was ridiculous.

People in the South don't give a fukk about public transportation, nor is public transportation ideal in the vast majority of the country anyway. Many places in the South don't want the entirety of their respective city to be completely accessible to public transportation and buses will not even take you certain places. People are concerned about crime with regards to that. Take it how you will.

Also, it really doesn't matter all that much because people value what they value. Southerners typically choose to stay in the South. One usually does not move from Augusta or Memphis to Philadelphia or Chicago without some major prompting.

Depends on the city. I live in KY and my spacious 1 bedroom under 10 from anywhere you’d wanna go in NKY or downtown Cincy after pet fees and water/sewage is 730.

It's not at all culturally southern is what they mean. In Florida the further north you go the more southern it is.

South Florida is primarily east-coast transplants, Hispanics, and Caribbeans and the culture reflects it.

 

[Koli_Kat]

I don't see your point OP. That's still a lot cheaper than NY,LA or any other major city

Anything Orlando and South is like a completely different country.
