DON'T Move to Iowa City Unless You Can Handle These Things! You might want to reconsider moving to the greater Iowa City area unless you can handle the things I mention in this video--weather, politics, schools, racial demographics and LGBTQ rights. Residents of the greater Iowa City area tend to be fairly outspoken about their experiences, beliefs, and opinions, so these are five topics that you should know about if you're doing your research about Iowa City, Coralville, North Liberty and the eastern Iowa corridor!

Good job, Iowa, I am voting RED too, never again voting blue.

Beautiful thing about the Iowa City area is, if Iowa City doesn't fit you, you have nearby options that might fit better, and vice versa. I've lived in Cedar Rapids and Marion. Loved both of those

Yes, it is great the Iowa City and Cedar Rapids are in such close proximity to each other because they each offer different qualities.

Cities always tend to be liberal. Rural and suburbs are typically conservative. I wonder what desmoines,Cedar Rapids,and other cites are there.

@JonasMatthewBahta 5 ай бұрын

I’ve heard Cedar Rapids is one of the few blue areas in the state, I’m sure Des Moines also is. It’s mostly true what you said about cities being blue and smaller areas red. The few times I’ve seen a red city area are Boise-ID, Tulsa-OK, Fort Worth-TX, and Jacksonville-FL.

Why were there parking meters on almost every city street when I was there today? Also I parked in a lot I thought was fine to do so, but it had a sign stating " will be towed at owners expense lol " it looked like the many with some sort of make shift shelter didn't mind lol

@EmilyFarber 10 ай бұрын

You must have been parking in the downtown area? The parking in the downtown district is metered. There are some lots that are not public parking (like next to the City Administration/police station building).

@EmilyFarber lol sure yea most cities have meters but Iowa City went a bit overkill

Your cars suspension will thank you for not moving there. Imagine driving through a minefield. That’s the entire area😂 illinois side is worse. Downtown at night looks like a 1920’s horror film.

My wife wants too move to Iowa. I dont but I'm gonna have to now because her mom is sick. Iowa is nice but I can't handle the country side. I love the city life much more. What do you do for fun?

@EmilyFarber 2 жыл бұрын

Iowa is not all country. As long as your moving to one of our larger cities you should be fine…unless your expectations are similar to someplace really big like Chicago, LA, New York, etc.

Iowa City is a very diverse and liberal community, and Iowa has been a progressive state since it’s beginning. While the rural counties are conservative, Iowa has a place for everyone with great opportunities to grow and prosper. If you can keep an open mind, regardless of the side of the spectrum you may be on, Iowa is a great place to live.

OK sure but California has diversity but not liberalism gone insane

If you truly want to understand this state you need to understand what it's like in small towns here. Which are so dark red that they stink like... something brown. If you find yourself physically or financially vulnerable as a progressive in a small town loaded up with election deniers you'll come under fire first. Extremists only gain confidence by attacking the most vulnerable people and these "Iowa City progressives" don't go out of their way to protect them. Vulnerable progressives in small town Iowa are most often targeted by city officials first. Election deniers, racist extremists, religious extremists, and the like seek out positions as small town mayors, police chiefs, city council members, and anything else that gives authority away to them. So if you're poor "it will serve you right" and don't be surprised if you have problems with your water, sewer, trash collection, or anything else controlled by the municipalities.

What's your definition of progressive? I can tell you if it's instability and absurd and irrational concepts with zero definitions, I don't want it here and I will actively push against it here. If you can't define the concepts that you support then you don't deserve to have a voice or an opinion. Which is about 99% of progressives
