Exactly why I married one :)

And neither of us would ever be happy in NYC.
My wife and I are born and bred New Yorkers and yet have been looking to leave since we got married and will be doing so this summer

So what are the pros and cons of living in Kansas?

I can think of many cons, but what pros are there that are not included in CLE, CVG, or DFW?

I seem to remember Dan having done a post on that. I'm not sure if it was here or on the main site...

The longer you stay the harder it is to leave.  Good luck next "summer."

Hello!!! It's in CANADA!
Still a major city with bad traffic and a high cost of living.
Though cleaner and friendlier than NYC.

Mazel Tov!
What made you pick YYZ?
My wife got offered a job. It's a big community but definitely an out of town one. The main community (Bathurst and Lawrence) happens to be very gashmi and five Townsy but we won't be living there
Originally we were planning to go to ORD but this fell into our laps

Neither would be my first pick if I had to move.

Fair enough. But my wife was not excited about CLE. I would have loved Houston but it is way too hot. Not much other choices
