what are some underrated cities?

I think Boise is underrated, but people have told me it's become a haven for California refugees and it's starting to get crowded.

Some people say Milwaukee is a hidden gem, but I have never been.

Salt Lake City also intrigues me, but I'm not mormon.

Milwaukee is legit. Lakefront Brewery is amazing. Has a Portland/Asheville/Austin vibe before they all got way too overrun with fixies, PBRs, and avocado toast.

Nagoya, Japan?

Llanes, Spain. One of the most gorgeous places I've ever visited and the beaches are amazing.

Pattaya, Thailand

Ljubljana

Mwauky is my hometown (if someone says they're from "mill - wau - kee", they're not), and that was my first thought as an answer, but I haven't chosen to live there as an adult. I think any of the industrial cities in flyover country that coasters look down on are underrated. There's enough going on that you can find your thing, whatever your thing is. Spent some time in Salt Lake City. It's a very different feel from Mwauky, but I thought the same thing: you can find your place there.

Honolulu. 3 million Japanese can’t be wrong.

El Paso, Texas.

Milwaukee, the source of PBR, is not overrun with PBR? Fascinating.

Have you ever been to Milwaukee during the winter months? Yeah, it has its charm from June-August but after that it can be a real chore to live there.

Blackburn

Beaeff, Egypt

Fayetteville, Arkansas aka Fayettechill

Milwaukee WAS the source of PBR. It's now based out of Los Angeles.

Well researched snark is funny. Your drivel is just ignorant.

I live in Chicago, which is less than 90 miles from downtown Milwaukee. Same climate. People waaay underestimate how many "livable" months there in that region.

For example, it's late December and today the high in Chicago is 43 degrees. Tomorrow is 47. Milwaukee is a few degrees cooler. I'm going to run in my shorts and a sweater today.

Generally, December through March suck, but April-October are pleasant and November can also be nice.

Sorry. I thought the topic was underrated cities, not "Cities That I'd Like to Live In."

My bad.

I lived in Chicago (Lakeview then Ravenswood Manor) for 6 years and agree with this.

Use to love running the F^3 Lake Half Marathon in January. Not a PR race, but a fun race to do every year because you never know if it's going to be 30 and sunny or -15 and snowy/icy. Always an adventure!

Kabul, Afghanistan and Islamabad, Pakistan
