https://ajin.la/@kai/102828818756187370 "if you can find a good job here, you can live well."
For some definition of "good job", that's true everywhere. But I can see your actual point, which is that there aren't enough good jobs in / near #Buffalo, NY. (Nor my #SoCal hometown, either.)

Every state is a red state"
True story: some employees of the agency are staying in #Sacramento and commuting two hours each way to and from work because they claim the town where they work is hostile to darker-skinned people.-

Seems like everyone in Buffalo has worked at either a bank or collection agency.
And I do want to live in a more culturally diverse area as well.

You've been really unhappy in #Buffalo, #NY, for several years. You'll never know whether a move to the #Los_Angeles area will improve your life unless you follow Uncle Jed to California.

Give it a decade. If you decide it isn't for you, you can move back to NYState with some different experiences and hopefully better financial resources.Commodore Sixty Bore and Sean Tilley like this. -

I do think it's probably my best option. I made a big chart of pros and cons and the worst possible outcome I could come up with was "stabbed at a metro station" 😂

Sean Tilley (sean@social.deadsuperhero.com)'s status on Saturday, 21-Sep-2019 20:16:39 UTC Sean Tilley @kai @lnxw48a1 @sikkdays I'm more than okay with this idea.
Been considering LA for a while, actually. -
copyright respecter (kai@ajin.la)'s status on Saturday, 21-Sep-2019 20:20:42 UTC copyright respecter @sean @lnxw48a1 @sikkdays really!?
I definitely don't want to move without a job lined up so that is a major contingency
but uh, hello roomie 👋🏼
