JOURNALISM: The best $5,929.10 I ever spent: moving back to the Midwest

https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2019/3/26/18255131/moving-midwest-cedar-rapids
Seattle sucks so the author moved to Cedar Rapids.  The general mills plant smells good on a good day, but every time i've smelt it it was a steamy rotten bowl of dogfood.  Its been a long time.  Things may have changed.

I just wonder how the racial diversity of Seattle compares to Cedar Rapids.  I wonder if the author has been in CR when it floods. 

If I was moving somewhere for 15 years I would buy my own appliances. 

Will this still work, the whole move to a small city with a freelancers income, when AI does all the writing?

Where are the downsides? Is this a marketing ploy for a city that I remember having no sidewalks? Who named it the Creative Belt?  What a boring name for a supposedly creative place.

I dunno, I bet this author is cool, I'd drink coffee with them or even in the same cafe but not with them.  But I wonder.
