Pro: Western MI, Lower UP north of the Zilwaukee Bridge, and the Thumb Area, are a gorgeous, to say nothing of the UP. If you're outdoorsy, particularly if you like fishing and golf, MI has a lot to offer. Con: Good luck trying to visit those places enough to enjoy them. You'd have to be pretty rich or resourceful to live out those ways, and most of the jobs, housing, and competition over such, are in the SE, in Oakland / Macomb / Wayne. The cost of living is high, while infrastructure is suffering, violent crime seems to be increasing (a friend of mine had SWAT called to her street in Rochester recently, normally a decent-to-good area), and our State and Local Government orgs - regardless of desire or party - just can't seem to keep up with the many problems. And more people from out of the state seem to be moving here every quarter, which isn't helping much - if anything, it feels like everything here is Tourist Priced now. In short, for all the things I like about MI, it feels like living in the pull of a black hole, and the times I get to see the beauty of the dunes and trails are too rare to make up for it. I almost think I'd give my left arm to leave, if I knew where I might like to go and had no other means to get there. So, caveat emptor, prospective neighbors: by all means, visit, but be absolutely sure if you want to move here, because you might be stuck for it after.

Unfortunately for MI, K-12 education has suffered under Republican administrations & the crazy growth of charter (Corporate) schools that siphon off funds by eg not accepting special needs kids. Also, MI suffers from the doings of the Christian Nationalist movement funded here by the likes of the Great Lakes Education Project, started by none other than the Amway DeVoses , esp former education Secretary under Trump Betsy DeVos, whose brother Eric Prince was leader of Blackwater, the private security firm that infamously killed numerous innocent civilians in an incident in Iraq. SO IM THANKFUL FOR OUR CURRENT DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION ADMINISTRATION THAT VALUES ALL PEOPLE.

My wife and I are considering moving to the Grand Rapids or Kalamazoo area from New Orleans. It's like 95 at night and 80% humidity - rough! The crime is also like 80's action movie comically bad - absolutely lawless place! I'm a DJ here and literally everyone I know in the US comes up to Detroit for Movement festival every year and speaks very highly about Michigan in general, not just the techno and rave scene. I also grew up rafting and kayaking so all that water I can put a boat in is pretty appealing! I'll miss the music, the food, and the culture, but the day to day can be pretty tough down here lemme tell ya 😂

One thing that would be really cool to provide is a map of townships by county that are green for "easy to work with" to get things approved or red for "difficult to work with" to get things approved - could do this by different endpoints like the barndominiums, homesteads, etc.

I currently live in north-eastern Virginia and there are some left hand turns here like you describe. I used to live in Chicago so know all about the lake effect snow and the big temperature swings: could go up and down 30° sometimes the same day at certain times of year between the 30-40s to the 60-low 70s. We also got a lot of thick fog sometimes rolling in off Lake Michigan that would blanket the city - similar what you see in parts of San Francisco. Enjoyed your video.

SW MI is stunningly beautiful. We draw tourists every summer (pro: revenue, con: more people). We are the fruit belt and seem to be growing in the beer and wine industries. From SW MI you can access Chicago, Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, South Bend in about an hour or two. So you can have small town feel with bigger city access. The last several winters have been mild, not terribly cold or much snow. Our climate has changed and we have even changed in growing zones.

The really fun part about buying property is when you build on it, put in a septic system that you maintain and keep in perfect working order, then a few years later the township "votes" to put city sewer connections in and force you to hook up to it AT YOUR COST OF $20,000

I'm preparing to move back to Michigan from California. What I've noticed with California weather is you can get warmer summers the further inland you are. What I'm curious to learn, is if there is a similar effect with Lake Michigan. And if there is, what would be the ideal distance from the Lake to not experience the extremes in wind, but to feel the lake effect of a cooler summer.
@kevinmirwin 2 ай бұрын
I would say that’s partially accurate with Lake Michigan. Let me do some research on that. That’s a great question! It definitely still does not get as hot here as it does in California. I would imagine though if I had to guess 5 miles or so inland from the lake you could get Cooler temperatures, but not get the extreme wind.

Mostly will depend on the housing market, and us being so indecisive on where, since I want to be within a half hour of dozens of places all throughout the state 😅 Would love to see you deep dive into some small towns up there. Small town charm, in different housing price ranges. 🥰

I think he's a real estate agent hunting for $60,000 commissions for selling one of these lake houses. It's like when you ask the internet for a review on office chairs, and all the reviews are talking about $1,500 chairs. That's because if you buy a chair, the reviewer gets a percentage of the price.

I'm from Southeast Michigan born and raised. Moved to NC a few years ago. One of the issues with Michigan is the lack of growth. The state has been stagnant for a long time. The bigger cities in the state are not thriving as they could be. Detroit is supposedly making a comeback, but still nothing close to other major cities in the U.S. It's like the people running the state gave up and don't care about making it attractive for residents to stay and for people to move there.
