Comment Comment by habosa PhiladelphiaIt's one of the five biggest cities in the US but most people routinely look past it.First of all it's fairly cheap, less than half as expensive as SF even in the nicest parts.It's got the best restaurant scene of any city I've spent time in (and almost all are free BYO).It's got a great art scene including a ton of amazing live music. 4 sports teams with passionate fan bases.It's racially diverse (no racial majority), mostly safe, and has plenty of young professionals.And if you really need to you can get to NY in only a few hours.The only reason I'm not there is that the tech scene sucks. If I could be remote I'd be there already. parent habosa 6 years ago
