A few things to note about Columbus from a lifelong Columbus resident. First, with the big university and the state government located here, the Columbus economy handles recessions extremely well and unemployment is always lower than the national average. Second, unlike Cleveland and Cincinnati, the suburbs of Columbus have not boxed Columbus in and that is why Columbus can continue to grow. Third, with three big freshwater reservoirs north of Columbus, Columbus will never experience water shortages like so many other places have experienced. Fourth and maybe most importantly, if climate change continues at its current pace, in 50 years or maybe less Columbus and other Midwestern cities will be the places to live with the coasts flooding, the south too hot and too many hurricanes, and the west too dry with too many fires. These changes are already taking place and all we worry about here is the very rare but still devastating tornado. Ohio has nowhere near as many tornadoes as TX, OK, KS, NE, IA, MO, IL, AR, LA, MS, and AL, but still an occasional one.
@@afridgetoofar1818 Who said anything about "unchecked"? Columbus city planners are very careful about planning for growth. Maybe that's why Amazon, Intel, Google, Wells Fargo and many others decided to build enormous manufacturing and distribution hubs here and not in Cleveland.
As a person who didn't have a car at one time, public transportation isn't a problem but if you want a good job with good payrate, everything is far out if you don't have a car. Like warehouses with great payrate are always out of Columbus. I'm talking about sub-cities Groveport, Westerville, Worthington, and Whitehall. Job wants to hire me. I can take the bus there. Unfortunately it's 20 minutes of a car ride but 1 hour and 52 minutes on bus taking 2 busses. This wasn't an issue not having a car in Cleveland or Baltimore.
I didn't have a car in S Florida for 4 years. took 3 buses and 3 hours to get to work everyday. Getting home after would yake 4+hours. looking back i just got used to accepting the situation til i could save enough for a ride. In the process i lost weight, toned up, and increased my stamina.
@@mattmurdockthemanwithoutfear Only thing is I didn't say they were great cities. I just compared something to previous homes I lived that wish Columbus was a great with. I'd take Columbus over them places any day but Columbus is trash too compared to other cities with its cons lmao 🤣
central ohio native… it’s a solid city all-around. not as spectacular as somewhere like NYC or chicago but also not as expensive. if you can tolerate the months without sun you’ll be fine
Yeah the weather sucks here its either very hot or freezing cold and Columbus people cannot drive on snow and ice. Its sad now Intel is coming here think what a mess that will be. Traffic will be messed up and little Johnstown Ohio has a giant for sale sign on it. Nicknamed toilet town depending on which way the wind blows.

I've been in Columbus since childhood. The drivers are stupid... The person in front of you won't go and the person behind you is in your back seat and you have no where to go. That's all of central Ohio.
Check the suburbs for the horrendously high tax. And if you plan on staying, wait until Jan 2024 when property tax will be even higher because of state reappraisal. So you'll love shelling out 20,000 a year or more 🤣🙃😂for your favorite tax! Welcome to Franklin county Ohio.
Lived here in Columbus for 64 years. The city has changed a LOT. Hate to say it, but you’ll get more for your money in the Cleveland area. Property values have gone insane since the Intel deal.
Reason #11. for not moving to Columbus, an over-abundance of one-way streets downtown. As someone whose memories of Columbus are from the 1950's, going back there is traumatic, with all of the changes and expansion that have taken place there.
Nobody in Columbus waves at you,they flip you off. Its way over populated, you get cut off, almost hit and side swiped daily. Someone always blowing their horn at someone else. Driving through down town is very nerve wracking. The rent is Outrageous here. Homeless people everywhere. Shootings daily. If you get a good job it doesnt matter you pay so much for food and rent and utilities your broke regardless. Almost daily someone is getting ran over while walkng on the sidewalk or riding a bike or pushing your baby in a stroller. Cars always cars being stolen and police chases. In the last year Its so bad in Columbus, nothing but dollar generals with bare shelves and carts full of inventory sitting in the way of everything. So many apartment complex's being built in every little space they can shove one. Yeah move to Columbus its so much better than a corn field! By the way the public school system here is trash! The school public transportation system doesn't have enough drivers your kid will be late to and from school or be having to stand up on the bus cause they have to shove two or three routes on at once. Drive your kid! Always remember stay out of those little corn field towns they actually wave at everybody as they drive through.
Ohio in general construction NEVER ends 😂 I’m from piqua, live in Sidney and travel to Dayton and Cbus frequently to hang out with friends so I’m always driving through construction 😂😭
It never ends because they hardly work. Most of the time that I would drive by a construction site and there’s never anyone there, even at night. Shit sometimes I wonder if they even started. It just seems to take years to fix the smallest shit whereas a country like China would finish in a fraction of the time.
I agree. I lived in Columbus Ohio from Florida. He doesn't remind me of Columbus people. Columbus is definitely a laid back city in my opinion but then again I'm also from Florida
Columbus Ohio is a sleepy slow paced town its extremely over hyped by other Ohioans that haven't left the state or visited more prominent cities like Cleveland Detroit Philadelphia Chicago St Louis 😅
Just did my shopping at Kroger's on N High St and King Ave and was waiting on the #2 cota bus when I was sucker punched for my skin tone. Bus happened to be close so the driver saw what had happened. When I laughed after I realized what occurred he pulled a knife out. Bus driver wasn't opening the door from me and when I finally got on the bus and said he had a knife not to let him on I was accused of stealing his groceries. When I explained I didn't know the guy she asked why I didn't call the cops. I replied it was at their terminal and she was a witness to a hate crime and was supposed to call as part of her job but she harassed me the entire ride home accusing me of theft. 3rd hate crime in a year and hate crimes here don't count if your white. This place is a garbage can. Stores are being boarded up after closing due to theft. One block from a 1000 a month building to trap houses.
Moved in Columbus with work-from Florida. True is road construction takes much longer than in other places- I noticed that is a favorite Road Contractor (Total General Construction LLC) that’s moving like a turtle. Starting work at 9 and ends up at 3, very few workers acting and few equipment in use - I’d be fired in my business if I’d slack like that.
The football thing was a shock to me. I am so unenthusiastic about sports and yes I agree it is annoying after a while 😂 the weather in the Midwest is depressing as well but to be expected
Born and raised in CMH but haven't lived there for 40 years. Back in the day, Canal Winchester was out in the sticks. Gotta agree on the pizza. Second best pizza I've ever had was a dive joint off Grener Road. (Best was a whole in the wall joint in Salou, Spain)
I currently live in Columbus, Ohio. I was born and raised here. I have a hard time finding a home due to property taxes but to tell you the truth I'm planning on moving away next year in 2025 💯 gotta move away and start over.
Can someone please explain why everyone on the news and radio have to keep saying Columbus Ohio every 2 minutes. This is the only place in the country where the media will let you know where they are talking about every 2 minutes of the day. 🤬
I’m originally from Cleveland OH. Right after highschool I moved to scottsdale AZ for college 2.5 years and then moved to Denver for 5 years then moved back to AZ for the last 3 years. I am looking to relocate in about a year when my lease is up. I am looking to start a family and settle down and wanna be closer to my family and friends back in Cleveland however Cleveland seems very run down to me and the people seem absolutly misserable everytime I visit. I feel like Columbus could be a happy medium of being close to family but still have that medium-bigger city vibe. Do you think Columbus is growing more and has more to offer for a family? Is there a lot to do besides drinking at breweries for families? Thanks!!
Avoid Columbus at all cost. This town is going down the toilet. The mayor is stupid he let 500,000 people in Columbus get hacked. He's a bum. Seriously stay away from this town. Stay away from ohio
So how much are they paying you? The roads never get repaired unless it around the new crap they shove into downtown all the rest stay a wreck and driving downtown is a nightmare, new snots coming in from cali want to call it silicon heartland we don't but hard to stay with just heartland when they ruined farmers and small business already.
I’m sorry you think someone pays me to do these videos. I simply want to shed light on what is going on in our community! Thanks for your insight though.
Only thing i didn't like about Columbus was the transportation was poor but I'm from Chicago so that makes sense. And they ain't shovel the snow well in the winter. If you want to get in your feet this is the place. They will hire you filling out a application. If you can't get a job there you don't want to work🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
@LivinginColumbusOhio614 that's my experience. Columbus is a city for people that don't want to be part of the victim Olympics. You can strive there you just have to want it.
We have a terrible transit system because they stop running at 10pm&before covid hit they running till midnight monday through Saturday but after covid hit&bus operaters are retiring&quiting& + we dont have alot of nightlife except for 16bit arcade or level one in Worthington oh& that's the only nightlife we have.
Two things I would add are 1.: Our public transportation is awful. Columbus is great in many ways, but COTA just isn’t up to par for a city this size. Number 2. Is a pet peeve of mine. Suck it up people. We live in Central Ohio,not Miami beach. It snows here. Quit acting like 2 inches of snow is a major catastrophe. It is embarrassing how people freak out about snow here. We really don’t even get that much. The average is around 20 inches per year. In my hometown of Alliance, in 1974 l, we had 22 inches in one day. We average 37 in hes per year and we are only about 150 miles away. We used to have at least a foot of snow once ever winter. Sometimes it happened -two or three times per year. Columbus probably got no more than 5 inches total, last year. People also need to stop shutting down the city when we get two or three inches of snow. From experience, I can tell you it doesn’t start to get serious until you have at least 6 inches of snow. That was the bare minimum we had to have to cancel school when I was growing up. Folks, are you aware that just 100 miles north they deal with snow much differently? In fact, Chardon, Ohio gets 110 more inches of snow per year than we do? They average 130 inches of snow per year. And no one loses their mind over it. Now I understand completely, the elderly who are stuck here reacting that way. A fall can be a death sentence for some of these people. But the rest of you? Folks 2 inches of snow is not a winter storm. It is light to mediocre snowfall. For those of you who have the option and still choose to overreact, if it is that bad for you, maybe you should move. Just put things into perspective. Light to medium snowfall can be a hindrance, but thats it. It is an obstacle to be surmounted. Buck up people. Your overreactions put this town in a bad light. I know we’re tougher than that!
People are really slow and LAZY in Columbus. I have never seen anything like it before. People can't even put away their own shopping carts. It's ridiculous! Going to the grocery store takes just as much time as a big city like LA because the chashieers at the checkouts are so SLOW!!!! It is a very slow and lazy city.
@Octavius Bass Nothing gets done. Also the quality of work is terrible. There is more of a labor shortage in Columbus vs. other bigger cities that have more people. Bigger cities have more of a selection to choose from, like SiliconValley and SoCal. Smaller cities like Columbis won't get much of a choice. The quality of work here sucks. Everyone is lazy and slow. I hate it here.
@rose What do you mean try again? That's not true. Go to North County San Diego, and you won't find very many shopping carts left around by lazy people. The culture isn't as lazy and rude as the ghetto in Columbus. You really haven't been around, have you? Or are you one of those lazy rude people who can't put away their own shopping cart?
@@DGNG-dd3to hey wise ass I lived in Ohio my entire life until about 3 years ago. What I’m telling you is that lazy people aren’t so uncommon once you start going out west as well. If im all the way across the country and the same thing is happening in a so called “big city” what makes you think it’s such a trait that isn’t seen in everyday life. That’s all you can come up with is that people don’t work hard? You need to take another look at yourself and wherever the hell you’re from as well because people work their asses off day in and day out to keep that city running and produce some of the greatest human beings/ moments of history if you knew anything about the state itself as well. Get in line for the hate ass-hole you’re not special
Weather is awful. Sept and October very nice. Very grey, six months, cold grey and depressing. It can be damn cold for months and hot in summer. State and local taxes are high. Great sports town with MLS, AAA baseball, NHL. Great public and private golf courses (world class level). Public courses are difficult to get on now and expensive as we have lost over a dozen in last 12 years to development. Many suburbs are really nice. People are nice if you compare to NJ, NY and CA but that is a pretty low bar. If you want nice people, move to the south where they are polite, nice and good manners. Traffic is a picnic and easy here compared to big cities. City is very small minded (us vs world mentality) and not very cosmopolitan (view by many is that world revolves around Ohio). Lived here for 25 yrs and in numerous other places in country and around the world, so I have a pretty good perspective. It is a good place to raise a family but there are many better places, but it is all what you are used too and want.
YES! i look forward to checking out ur top ten pizza places in columbus! (and i might have to email you to learn more information about the columbus pizza place that effectively sells their pies in secret.) as a person preparing to buy property in columbus, i love ur vids. 🙏
Lived in Cbus for 40 yrs. --The only time we had anywhere near 8in of snow was the blizzard of '76. Geographically, Cbus is down in a bowl. It kills storms. A big snow storm for the city would be 3in, & would happen once a winter, if that. --Intel not coming to Cbus. It's in a neighboring County. --The only time OSU football is gonna affect you is if you're on Campus on game day. It's a big city.
I don't mean to be rude but you have a decent point. I'm from Florida (not a big fan of Florida btw) I've lived in a lot of places and been to a lot of places and Ohio is kinda.... Just a place lol. I quickly realized why Ohio people love to talk about Ohio and try to make it seem as good as possible. Because Ohio is... Well... Ohio lol it's just bland and chill and just here on planet earth lol but I LOVED Columbus Ohio so much. It was such a nice feeling to be up there. It was perfect for me in a lot of ways. I'm from Gainesville Florida (small town huge college area. Gators). I've lived in south Florida, northern Jersey new York city etc. I loved Columbus Ohio so much. It was perfect for me. I didn't like that so many outsiders were moving into Columbus Ohio from outside of Ohio. I wanted to just be surrounded by Ohio and Ohio people for the rest of my life. I miss it all the time. Miss you Columbus Ohio :(
Ever since weed became legalized and ubiquitous, none of these things bother me about living here anymore. In fact, 2 of the 10 reasons seem like they dont even exist. Pittsburgh is still better though.
# 33847 there's been a noticeable increase in Indian residents, many of whom aren't fluent in English. Their birthday parties seem to draw quite the crowd, with at least 300 cars filling the streets. Sometimes I wonder if they're running a culinary empire from their garages!
I hate it here to many greedy and rude people.rude drivers not I repeat not a good place to raise children. Inflation has hit Columbus hard. Housing market sucks. But avoid this town at all costs. Trust me it sucks here like the projects in n.y. Me I am moving out west
Yeah. The last guy I'd trust is one who thinks the world revolves around him. Sorry, your personal experience was bad in Columbus, but have you considered the possibility that the problem might be you?
The problem is not me. This town just stinks. People are rude when I lived in NYC every now and then you meet somebody cool. Not here . everybody wants to live in the rich neighborhoods it doesn't work that way.
it's like washington state seattle area but people are not friendly and there is not very many good pizza joints and property taxes are way higher in seatttle and surrounding areas
Did you say pizza?? If you haven't tried Little Sicily's Pizza in the small town of Brice, which is close to Canal Winchester! A suburb southeast of Columbus, Ohio! When we visit inlaws, they always want us to go there but we don't complain!! Lol
Im gonna tell u ive lived here over 20 yrs and ive never seen people as ignorant as these kids 2day and i highly recommend anybody moving here PLEASE AVOID MIFFLIN HIGH SCHOOL! In the last 3 days my sons gotten expelled now and other kids getting expelled 4 defending themselves as well as being suspended and im so FRUSTRATED! Mifflin was so good a few yrs ago but recently i just cant with this generation and stupid social media! Ugh take me back 2 the 90s please 🙏🏻💜
My heart just broke reading your post. I have been in Columbus my entire life. 60 years. I graduated from Mifflin in '82. Best class ever. We even had a record produced, Mifflin Express, that aired on the radio. High school was my best years. I do understand what you mean about our school district. This is my 22nd year. Between the kids' behaviors, the denial and hostility of the parents, as well as the lack of support from the administrators; teachers are leaving left and right. I am angry, saddened, and embarrassed by our district. From the alumni of the 80s, I apologize to you. 😔
Columbus has the most impatient drivers. They have been voted third most impatient drivers in America. And an impatient driver is a dangerous driver. “Tail Gate city”. Everywhere you drive you will be tail gated. Get ready to disregard the speed limit or you will be passed in the most dangerous situations. Generally, speed over curtsy. At red light, everyone packs the cars tightly together. When the light turns green, no one gives a two second pause before acceleration and the line of cars stays as close as possible. Everyone is pushing or being pushed. In an accident, you cant tell the Judge - “Everybody else does it.”
Columbus has gone downhill since the 1980s like most big cities, you would be much better moving out to somewhere like Knox county into Mount Vernon or Centerburg. Much nicer sense of community up there.
I just seen a lady get jumped, stripped naked and she ran into McDonald’s earlier tonight smh. Started at family dollar. Guess she was calling ppl the n word
Overrun with the hardest drugs while Nothing is done about it. Stacks of refrigerated trailers at the morgue to deal with the ODs. Just sayin'. Been here 27 years. It's gone now.
You got that right. All people live for is the buckeye football and midfield golf. Oh and the blue jackets. Columbus is turning into a mini nyc. Rude people rude drivers. Me I'm moving out of this place. Someplace that has no high taxes and all the problems of a big city
Then your better off living in the suburbs of Columbus and avoiding a certain demographic. They have completely destroyed Columbus schools and most of the city's neighborhoods.
Sorry you moved here its a toilet. NYC has more class than this place. Me I'm either moving back to Brownsville NY or out west someplace I don't know yet.
I moved here from DC because it was touted as being progressive. I found it pretentious and the people clannish, rude, and Appalachian. Then, they place a tremendous amount of focus on Ohio State sports like it’s the only thing they have to hold onto. I left after two years.
He doesn't know what he is talking about and probably knows only one area of the entire city. There are plenty of people here that pay zero attention to sports or the college sports community. Columbus is a nice family town. Yet there is plenty quite here. There are other cities that are far more lively. It's lots of construction though but compare to other places it's tolerable. This guy definitely knows nothing about the east or Southside of Columbus. The prices are going way up here because they aren't building enough houses so ugly small houses are over priced, that alone is good enough reason to move elsewhere. The place is livable though. Lots of great festivals year round.
Lived there for 15 years. Be prepared to drive long distances from one side of the city to the other with lots of traffic and yes lots of construction. Not to mention another Democrat run city. High taxes, high crime and people running to get further out of the once quiet suburbs.
Lived in Central Ohio my whole life, if you’re a healthcare professional, are a public employee, or work in the building trades this is the place but other occupations are relatively low wage, not a large union presence and barely any manufacturing. Outside of the City of Columbus in the suburbs are mostly a bunch of dumb conservatives who worship Trump and the Buckeyes. I guess it’s all about what you’re into, overall a boring city.
@greatesttoysevermade3693 "suburbs are mostly a bunch of dumb conservatives who worship Trump and the Buckeyes." Yeah, and the City of Columbus liberals who run the city from the Mayor's office, City Council and on down are doing such a great job running the city. Right? Say what you will about the wealthy suburbs surrounding Columbus but let's see... ummm safer neighborhoods, stellar schools, cleaner, and better roads to drive on. Can't even drive a nice car inside 270 without getting your tires blown out by potholes or take a risk of getting car jacked by the Kia boys.

Anyone who knows has already moved to the suburbs..
.....and hoping to move from Columbus suburbs to another state because of hideously high property tax.
Moved in Columbus with work-from Florida.
True is road construction takes much longer than in other places- I noticed that is a favorite Road Contractor (Total General Construction LLC) that’s moving like a turtle. Starting work at 9 and ends up at 3, very few workers acting and few equipment in use - I’d be fired in my business if I’d slack like that.
Columbus is far from friendly getting outta here with that bs🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don’t move here if you don’t like traffic circles (roundabouts) everywhere!!!
Ya the newest 1 and most ridiculous addition imo at Walford and Ferris! Who decided this was a good idea?!?!? So stupid put the light back up please!
The football thing was a shock to me. I am so unenthusiastic about sports and yes I agree it is annoying after a while 😂 the weather in the Midwest is depressing as well but to be expected
Half of these are reasons id want to go
Born and raised in CMH but haven't lived there for 40 years. Back in the day, Canal Winchester was out in the sticks. Gotta agree on the pizza. Second best pizza I've ever had was a dive joint off Grener Road. (Best was a whole in the wall joint in Salou, Spain)
@@jeffrowlanduk Ahhh I miss the dive bars. Now everything’s commercial
I currently live in Columbus, Ohio. I was born and raised here. I have a hard time finding a home due to property taxes but to tell you the truth I'm planning on moving away next year in 2025 💯 gotta move away and start over.
Thats why i got out of texas ...texas was not friendly at all everyone is so miserable
Moving here in September and I can’t wait ! I’ve wanted to live here for years and have lots of family in Columbus and Cleveland
Please do not move here. Try Los Angeles, San Francisco or New York City. We have too much trash as it is.
Wow, Your a nice guy
@jamesrusso2523 Sullivant Avenue, Cleveland Ave and Livingston Ave have the type of people you're looking for.
@@jamesrusso2523*You’re
This guy can't be from the same Columbus Oh as me
You're absolutely correct!😮
Thanks for saving me a ton of time and effort! The property taxes are a deal breaker for me! Good-bye Columbus, I hardly knew you...
Columbus is great
Property tax is even worse in the suburbs, and will possibly double in 2024 because of reappraisal.
SMART !
Columbus is among the cheapest cities in the country.
Q: Why do all the tree's In Ohio lean North West?
A: Cuz Michigan Sucks and Pittsburgh Blows
I live In Tampa but my job is in Columbus. Overall, love the people from Ohio.
That's because Tampa sucks!😅
Ohio people weird as hell...what Ohio are u talking about?I know it's not COLUMBUS!🥸🤡👺👹
From Cbus. Worked in Cbus & tampa. Tampa is like Cbus shrunken down. Cannot believe people complain about tampa traffic though...
Shouldn't radon gas be on this list?
Could be!
Can someone please explain why everyone on the news and radio have to keep saying Columbus Ohio every 2 minutes. This is the only place in the country where the media will let you know where they are talking about every 2 minutes of the day. 🤬
Excellent breakdown
I’m originally from Cleveland OH. Right after highschool I moved to scottsdale AZ for college 2.5 years and then moved to Denver for 5 years then moved back to AZ for the last 3 years. I am looking to relocate in about a year when my lease is up. I am looking to start a family and settle down and wanna be closer to my family and friends back in Cleveland however Cleveland seems very run down to me and the people seem absolutly misserable everytime I visit. I feel like Columbus could be a happy medium of being close to family but still have that medium-bigger city vibe. Do you think Columbus is growing more and has more to offer for a family? Is there a lot to do besides drinking at breweries for families? Thanks!!
Avoid Columbus at all cost. This town is going down the toilet. The mayor is stupid he let 500,000 people in Columbus get hacked. He's a bum. Seriously stay away from this town. Stay away from ohio
I live in Cleveland. The only time we’re miserable in on Sunday afternoons in the Fall 🏈 😂
So how much are they paying you? The roads never get repaired unless it around the new crap they shove into downtown all the rest stay a wreck and driving downtown is a nightmare, new snots coming in from cali want to call it silicon heartland we don't but hard to stay with just heartland when they ruined farmers and small business already.
I’m sorry you think someone pays me to do these videos. I simply want to shed light on what is going on in our community! Thanks for your insight though.
Only thing i didn't like about Columbus was the transportation was poor but I'm from Chicago so that makes sense. And they ain't shovel the snow well in the winter. If you want to get in your feet this is the place. They will hire you filling out a application. If you can't get a job there you don't want to work🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Thank you for the comment!
@LivinginColumbusOhio614 that's my experience. Columbus is a city for people that don't want to be part of the victim Olympics. You can strive there you just have to want it.
We have a terrible transit system because they stop running at 10pm&before covid hit they running till midnight monday through Saturday but after covid hit&bus operaters are retiring&quiting& + we dont have alot of nightlife except for 16bit arcade or level one in Worthington oh& that's the only nightlife we have.
I want to move to Columbus I have no idea where to start if you don’t mind what are some nice suburban areas? That’s pretty diverse.
@@icelyn1 new Albany, Hilliard, Worthington, Dublin, Upper Arlington
@@icelyn1 oh you said diverse. Nice area? Only Gahanna in my opinion
@@Mo.1988 Thank you well it doesn’t matter with the ppl honestly l just want safe quiet living for my children, I don’t want to live in the hood😩
@@icelyn1 your best bet is Gahanna. The suburbs I named are expensive. (Not saying you can’t afford it)
Two things I would add are 1.: Our public transportation is awful. Columbus is great in many ways, but COTA just isn’t up to par for a city this size.
Number 2. Is a pet peeve of mine. Suck it up people. We live in Central Ohio,not Miami beach. It snows here. Quit acting like 2 inches of snow is a major catastrophe. It is embarrassing how people freak out about snow here. We really don’t even get that much. The average is around 20 inches per year. In my hometown of Alliance, in 1974 l, we had 22 inches in one day. We average 37 in hes per year and we are only about 150 miles away. We used to have at least a foot of snow once ever winter. Sometimes it happened -two or three times per year. Columbus probably got no more than 5 inches total, last year. People also need to stop shutting down the city when we get two or three inches of snow. From experience, I can tell you it doesn’t start to get serious until you have at least 6 inches of snow. That was the bare minimum we had to have to cancel school when I was growing up. Folks, are you aware that just 100 miles north they deal with snow much differently? In fact, Chardon, Ohio gets 110 more inches of snow per year than we do? They average 130 inches of snow per year. And no one loses their mind over it. Now I understand completely, the elderly who are stuck here reacting that way. A fall can be a death sentence for some of these people. But the rest of you? Folks 2 inches of snow is not a winter storm. It is light to mediocre snowfall. For those of you who have the option and still choose to overreact, if it is that bad for you, maybe you should move. Just put things into perspective. Light to medium snowfall can be a hindrance, but thats it. It is an obstacle to be surmounted. Buck up people. Your overreactions put this town in a bad light. I know we’re tougher than that!
People are really slow and LAZY in Columbus. I have never seen anything like it before. People can't even put away their own shopping carts. It's ridiculous! Going to the grocery store takes just as much time as a big city like LA because the chashieers at the checkouts are so SLOW!!!!
It is a very slow and lazy city.
Maybe that's the reason why I liked Columbus Ohio. It's slow. I like slow though. Makes life go by slower
@Octavius Bass Nothing gets done. Also the quality of work is terrible. There is more of a labor shortage in Columbus vs. other bigger cities that have more people.
Bigger cities have more of a selection to choose from, like SiliconValley and SoCal. Smaller cities like Columbis won't get much of a choice.
The quality of work here sucks. Everyone is lazy and slow.
I hate it here.
Not putting away shopping carts is across the country, Im from the 614 and I live in Vegas…..try again
@rose
What do you mean try again? That's not true. Go to North County San Diego, and you won't find very many shopping carts left around by lazy people. The culture isn't as lazy and rude as the ghetto in Columbus.
You really haven't been around, have you?
Or are you one of those lazy rude people who can't put away their own shopping cart?
@@DGNG-dd3to hey wise ass I lived in Ohio my entire life until about 3 years ago. What I’m telling you is that lazy people aren’t so uncommon once you start going out west as well. If im all the way across the country and the same thing is happening in a so called “big city” what makes you think it’s such a trait that isn’t seen in everyday life. That’s all you can come up with is that people don’t work hard? You need to take another look at yourself and wherever the hell you’re from as well because people work their asses off day in and day out to keep that city running and produce some of the greatest human beings/ moments of history if you knew anything about the state itself as well. Get in line for the hate ass-hole you’re not special
Weather is awful. Sept and October very nice. Very grey, six months, cold grey and depressing. It can be damn cold for months and hot in summer. State and local taxes are high. Great sports town with MLS, AAA baseball, NHL. Great public and private golf courses (world class level). Public courses are difficult to get on now and expensive as we have lost over a dozen in last 12 years to development. Many suburbs are really nice. People are nice if you compare to NJ, NY and CA but that is a pretty low bar. If you want nice people, move to the south where they are polite, nice and good manners. Traffic is a picnic and easy here compared to big cities. City is very small minded (us vs world mentality) and not very cosmopolitan (view by many is that world revolves around Ohio). Lived here for 25 yrs and in numerous other places in country and around the world, so I have a pretty good perspective. It is a good place to raise a family but there are many better places, but it is all what you are used too and want.
Wher else would you recommend?
Midwest-- Kansas City. Cincinnati. Milwaukee. St Louis.. your thoughts?
.... Why would you want to live in a Time Warped place like Cincinnati,
You said 8 facts, but in the thumbnail you said 10.
YES! i look forward to checking out ur top ten pizza places in columbus! (and i might have to email you to learn more information about the columbus pizza place that effectively sells their pies in secret.) as a person preparing to buy property in columbus, i love ur vids. 🙏
Let’s connect and I’ll help you with the pizza and the house!
Lol people waving and saying hi? Where in Columbus are you?
Never EVER experienced that.
Columbus is in the bottom 5% in the world for sunshine. It rains a lot.
Lived in Cbus for 40 yrs.
--The only time we had anywhere near 8in of snow was the blizzard of '76. Geographically, Cbus is down in a bowl. It kills storms. A big snow storm for the city would be 3in, & would happen once a winter, if that.
--Intel not coming to Cbus. It's in a neighboring County.
--The only time OSU football is gonna affect you is if you're on Campus on game day. It's a big city.
You mean the Blizzard of 1978.
I’m moving to Ohio from Myrtle Beach soon, can’t wait
And see the flying monsters and sleep paralysis demons in the sky 😨💀 (search up Only in Ohio meme :)
Usually the other way around. I was once the only person who had never been to Myrtle Beach.
People in Columbus are not overtly friendly. I have lived in this city for over twenty years. They're really not different from any other city.
Who the fck would even soberly admit
they were from Ohio to begin with? 😂
I don't mean to be rude but you have a decent point. I'm from Florida (not a big fan of Florida btw) I've lived in a lot of places and been to a lot of places and Ohio is kinda.... Just a place lol. I quickly realized why Ohio people love to talk about Ohio and try to make it seem as good as possible. Because Ohio is... Well... Ohio lol it's just bland and chill and just here on planet earth lol but I LOVED Columbus Ohio so much. It was such a nice feeling to be up there. It was perfect for me in a lot of ways. I'm from Gainesville Florida (small town huge college area. Gators). I've lived in south Florida, northern Jersey new York city etc. I loved Columbus Ohio so much. It was perfect for me. I didn't like that so many outsiders were moving into Columbus Ohio from outside of Ohio. I wanted to just be surrounded by Ohio and Ohio people for the rest of my life. I miss it all the time. Miss you Columbus Ohio :(
Meeeee🫠 I love Ohio💯🫶🏽♥️
Please stay out. Hater
Right AGAIN!
Anyone with half an ounce of maturity
Ok, where's the pizza video? I've lived in Columbus all my life. I'm just curious to see what your top picks for pizza are.
Ever since weed became legalized and ubiquitous, none of these things bother me about living here anymore. In fact, 2 of the 10 reasons seem like they dont even exist. Pittsburgh is still better though.
You're from Columbus if your known four weather seasons are: Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter and CONTRUCTION!!
Right! Lol
# 33847 there's been a noticeable increase in Indian residents, many of whom aren't fluent in English. Their birthday parties seem to draw quite the crowd, with at least 300 cars filling the streets. Sometimes I wonder if they're running a culinary empire from their garages!
As an Indian this made me laugh so much😂😂😂 I think the Indians you see there are mostly Punjabis or North Indians.They celebrate everything lavishly😅
O-H-I-O is just our version of "Aloha"
I hate it here to many greedy and rude people.rude drivers not I repeat not a good place to raise children. Inflation has hit Columbus hard. Housing market sucks. But avoid this town at all costs. Trust me it sucks here like the projects in n.y. Me I am moving out west
What city you advise?
Yeah. The last guy I'd trust is one who thinks the world revolves around him. Sorry, your personal experience was bad in Columbus, but have you considered the possibility that the problem might be you?
The problem is not me. This town just stinks. People are rude when I lived in NYC every now and then you meet somebody cool. Not here . everybody wants to live in the rich neighborhoods it doesn't work that way.
Where would you like to live out west?
it's like washington state seattle area but people are not friendly and there is not very many good pizza joints and property taxes are way higher in seatttle and surrounding areas
Bedbugs! The city is infested. Bars, cheap motels, and Hospital waiting rooms are the worst.
Did you say pizza?? If you haven't tried Little Sicily's Pizza in the small town of Brice, which is close to Canal Winchester! A suburb southeast of Columbus, Ohio! When we visit inlaws, they always want us to go there but we don't complain!! Lol
I’ve lived all over the country and there’s no way that Ohio has better Falls than Maine; especially Acadia National Park.
Hey! What is the "Columbus, OH" pizza style?
our flag should be an orange barrel
IM MOVING FROM TEXAS TO COLUMBUS OHIO FOR MY JOB
Im gonna tell u ive lived here over 20 yrs and ive never seen people as ignorant as these kids 2day and i highly recommend anybody moving here PLEASE AVOID MIFFLIN HIGH SCHOOL! In the last 3 days my sons gotten expelled now and other kids getting expelled 4 defending themselves as well as being suspended and im so FRUSTRATED! Mifflin was so good a few yrs ago but recently i just cant with this generation and stupid social media! Ugh take me back 2 the 90s please 🙏🏻💜
My heart just broke reading your post. I have been in Columbus my entire life. 60 years. I graduated from Mifflin in '82. Best class ever. We even had a record produced, Mifflin Express, that aired on the radio. High school was my best years. I do understand what you mean about our school district. This is my 22nd year. Between the kids' behaviors, the denial and hostility of the parents, as well as the lack of support from the administrators; teachers are leaving left and right. I am angry, saddened, and embarrassed by our district. From the alumni of the 80s, I apologize to you. 😔
Columbus has the most impatient drivers. They have been voted third most impatient drivers in America. And an impatient driver is a dangerous driver. “Tail Gate city”. Everywhere you drive you will be tail gated. Get ready to disregard the speed limit or you will be passed in the most dangerous situations. Generally, speed over curtsy.
At red light, everyone packs the cars tightly together. When the light turns green, no one gives a two second pause before acceleration and the line of cars stays as close as possible. Everyone is pushing or being pushed. In an accident, you cant tell the Judge - “Everybody else does it.”
Columbus has gone downhill since the 1980s like most big cities, you would be much better moving out to somewhere like Knox county into Mount Vernon or Centerburg. Much nicer sense of community up there.
My dad and stepmom live there
I just seen a lady get jumped, stripped naked and she ran into McDonald’s earlier tonight smh. Started at family dollar. Guess she was calling ppl the n word
Crime x 10 is reason enough to avoid the cesspool!
Its a dump here drive along 270 and you will see more trash . I'm not moving back to New York not
Going back yh
Overrun with the hardest drugs while Nothing is done about it. Stacks of refrigerated trailers at the morgue to deal with the ODs. Just sayin'. Been here 27 years. It's gone now.
Don't forget our corrupt city government!!!!
I live in Columbus by the stadium Kenny rd
I live in the Lennox Flats off Kinnear!
Lived in Reynoldsburg for 30 years, if you mind your own dam business, it's a great place.
That's in most places 🙄. Real good advise no matter where you're moving too.
We still waiting on intel lol😂
How common are tax abatements? I have seen them mentioned for several houses being listed for sale.
They are definitely a thing in certain part of the city! Give me a call and we can discuss more!
Worst city ever
You got that right. All people live for is the buckeye football and midfield golf. Oh and the blue jackets. Columbus is turning into a mini nyc. Rude people rude drivers. Me I'm moving out of this place. Someplace that has no high taxes and all the problems of a big city
Bonus Fact: Clemson owns Ohio State in football. Know that you will continuously be frustrated
True Dat!
Cap
Pretty sure Ohio State won the last meeting…..
Absolute RUBBISH
High property taxes & how is that money spent? No one knows.
Have to go to Giammarcos in Westerville best pizza food in Columbus
Getting transferred out there for work. All I want is a safe area for the kids to grow up. I’m game for everything else.
Then your better off living in the suburbs of Columbus and avoiding a certain demographic. They have completely destroyed Columbus schools and most of the city's neighborhoods.
Sorry you moved here its a toilet. NYC has more class than this place. Me I'm either moving back to Brownsville NY or out west someplace I don't know yet.
Columbus Ohio is a toilet bowl move to a state where there is no winter snow and ice

# super friendly people...huh...no.....super rude ass people
Fact #9, we be lying about the Amount of facts in the title
Ppl are definitely not friendly in Columbus
HATEFUL,GREEDY&GRIMEY...BOTTEM LINE.
It is terribly hard to find good pizza in Columbus
I never had any issues with allergies until I moved to Ohio. If you like your allergy-free life, don't move here!
Oh...Forgot...DIVIDED BY HATRED!PURE HATRED.
I moved here from DC because it was touted as being progressive. I found it pretentious and the people clannish, rude, and Appalachian. Then, they place a tremendous amount of focus on Ohio State sports like it’s the only thing they have to hold onto. I left after two years.
Thanks for the comment! Everyone's experience is different!
Weather sucks in Columbus
He doesn't know what he is talking about and probably knows only one area of the entire city. There are plenty of people here that pay zero attention to sports or the college sports community. Columbus is a nice family town. Yet there is plenty quite here. There are other cities that are far more lively. It's lots of construction though but compare to other places it's tolerable. This guy definitely knows nothing about the east or Southside of Columbus. The prices are going way up here because they aren't building enough houses so ugly small houses are over priced, that alone is good enough reason to move elsewhere. The place is livable though. Lots of great festivals year round.
@@massagemodality366 thanks for the comment! Watch the rest of the channel
Columbus is too big for its own good. Cleveland and its suburbs are a better place to live.
Lived there for 15 years. Be prepared to drive long distances from one side of the city to the other with lots of traffic and yes lots of construction. Not to mention another Democrat run city. High taxes, high crime and people running to get further out of the once quiet suburbs.
But a democratic run city that thrives with economic interests at the expense of other things.
Lived in Central Ohio my whole life, if you’re a healthcare professional, are a public employee, or work in the building trades this is the place but other occupations are relatively low wage, not a large union presence and barely any manufacturing. Outside of the City of Columbus in the suburbs are mostly a bunch of dumb conservatives who worship Trump and the Buckeyes. I guess it’s all about what you’re into, overall a boring city.
@greatesttoysevermade3693 "suburbs are mostly a bunch of dumb conservatives who worship Trump and the Buckeyes." Yeah, and the City of Columbus liberals who run the city from the Mayor's office, City Council and on down are doing such a great job running the city. Right? Say what you will about the wealthy suburbs surrounding Columbus but let's see... ummm safer neighborhoods, stellar schools, cleaner, and better roads to drive on. Can't even drive a nice car inside 270 without getting your tires blown out by potholes or take a risk of getting car jacked by the Kia boys.
Use to live in Delaware, OH and worked in Columbus... miss it a lot.
He must be talking more about Worthington or Westerville or the upperclass neighborhoods. ACTUAL Columbus residents sucks.
I've lived here 25 yrs & I agree!!!👍
