My social situation has collapsed so I'm basically gonna have to start over from scratch. I'd rather not do it in my truck-nuts anti-pedestrian small city with a ton of negative associations. I can kind of move anywhere but I don't have the energy to go somewhere random and hope for the best.
I'd love to live somewhere where I don't have to own a car. Big enough and with enough stuff to do so I can try to cast a wide net and grow some sort of social group before I die of loneliness. But also where I could afford like a studio apartment on the average entry level wage in the city.
Might be too much to ask with current housing prices.
Any suggestions?
Edit: thank you all! I'll start checking out jobs/apts in the cities mentioned. 
Another vote for Chicago
Definitely seems to be a common recommendation, I'll check out Chicago first. Thanks!
If you make it here, holler at your corgi!
Are there any leftist orgs in Chicago that you'd recommend?
Not offhand, unfortunately. Our PSL branch does solid work but their internal stuff is a mess.
Oh that's too bad lol. Guess I'll check out the dsa since I already pay dues (my last chapter was mostly ML but I know that's not true most places)
Yeah, I don't have much good to say about PSL here. Both another user here and I individually wasted about a year of our time trying to become official members, but nothing came of it
