Good sm bass
MI is the highest for car insurance. Sad.
The car insurance is no fun!
I live in Michigan and love the seasons. For those that blame government... Michigan congress has been in control by Republicans for 40 years. The Governor has changed parties back and forth, but congress hasn't. Dems have only controlled congress for a couple years. For those that say they moved because of high taxes or low wages are simply putting blame on the wrong party. Some people prefer to live in states that don't pay taxes, but get flooded out every year. Doesn't sound cheap to me. Others like states that have low taxes, but take away your rights to your own body. What's that worth? Michigan has it's faults, but when you look at where it falls in the cost of living... it's pretty good. And you can go in the water, and not get eaten.
Thanks for commenting! Michigan is a swing state and I don’t let politics dictate where I live. I’m not saying one party or another is at fault. People move here for the 4 seasons, for a more mild summer. I do like the salt free lakes for sure!
After spending my entire life in Michigan, and after 21 years in Traverse City, back in 2021 I retired and moved to South Carolina. Cost of living is so much cheaper here! Got out of the cold, but I do admit, would love to have a summer home in Michigan, but not in the cards for us. Summers in SC are HOT!
Yes that would be the best of both worlds! SC in the winter and Northern MI in the summer! We’re actively shopping and helping some folks in northern MI more for vacation rental purposes! Offsets some of the costs of ownership when you’re not using it!
@@LivinginDetroitMi We looked into the cost of renting a new condo in TC, about $5400 for a month. This was a new unit. We will be coming up this summer, (stayng with old neighbors) but then don't plan on returning until 2026. Any suggestions? We have never done this before. Thanks.
Reach out via email and we can connect. I’d like to know more of your situation before I go and suggest anything!
Worked rescue many years in this city it’s a shit hole. Beware!!! Corruption, racism, drugs,violence this is the detroit i know. these crime stats are the one’s that get reported keep that in mind many aren’t. The suburbs are fine not as much city cancer. Always have your head on a swivel.
Thanks for commenting!
Soooo tired of the bull $hit high car insurance! And it went up again this month. And taxes 😮
I hear ya on that! I’ve got some good contacts in insurance, I was actually able to save $1,000 annually recently!
Moved to Florida, couldn't take the bad roads and the communist running the state!!!
Florida would be nice!
Moved to Florida, couldn't take the bad roads and the communist running the state!!!
Florida would be nice in winter for sure!
you are not in boston edison from what some of the video shows
Not sure what you’re talking about? You mean the part where I showed downtown when I mention downtown? I appreciate a good critic, but I was standing and filming in Boston Edison😁
The main reason is because prices have been jacked up so high on land and homes that nobody can afford to own one anymore unless you're filthy rich! Also people are beginning to realize that there are states that you can live in that don't charge state tax so that you get to keep more of your paycheck to cover your bills instead of going into debt.
Thanks for commenting!
35 years in CO moved back 7 years ago. MI has water and oxygen in abundance,.. no tornado's, hurricanes, earthquakes, flooding, forest fires, sink holes, mudslides etc. housing and food are cheap, taxes not so
Very true! There’s lots of places in Michigan we can move to and still not pay through the nose for housing!
Lovely !
Thanks for watching!
Gretchen destroyed Michigan!
Thanks for commenting!
My husband and I were both born and raised in Michigan, now in the Monroe Area. One of the reasons I would never leave Michigan is because of our governing in this state. I love our governor and I love the fact that she is intent on protecting women's Reproductive Rights, she works for the people that live in Michigan not for the politicians who would like to rule. Anybody who is interested in preserving their rights as a human being should move to Michigan. You are welcome here.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
I've lived in A2 over 50 yrs. Downtown charm ruined with big bldgs. It's always been a liberal toilet. I'd leave but family likes it. Small houses in the Crescents go for over 400 k High taxes. City officials promote downtown. Worked at u of mfor 45yrs. Now avoid it. Look at Scio Twnshp. Dexter, Chelsea. Small cities with charm. The city lives on Rainbows and Unicorns. Talk to city workers.too expensive for them to live here. Was OK until the 80s then exploded.traffic a.mess . Do your research before you move here. 😮
Yes, this! I actually have a video talking about the surrounding communities that are near AA. Thanks for commenting! When it’s time to move, reach out!!
True
Thanks for commenting!
What's your gripe with Michigan⁉️ Guess it's good for those of us that choose to live here ...less people. I lived in Hawaii, California, Oregon, Washington and Florida back before they got ruined. I grew up in Birmingham and lived and worked in Ann Arbor. I came back to Northeast Michigan and love it. Quiet, easy living with Lake Huron and the AuSable River. I love the four seasons ‼️ Best kept secret in Michigan 🌅. Been through the UP many times. It's a trip but I wouldn't live there, too cold 😉. Best to you and thanks.
I enjoy my time in MI for sure! I grew up in the UP as well, it was tough shoveling all the time! We’re looking at getting another place for vacation in NW MI! Love all the rivers and lakes up there!
Wouldnt dream of leaving michigan. I have a good job, as does my wife and its absolutely beautiful up here in northern Michigan. I'm a lifer
It is for sure a beautiful state!
Same here, didn’t realize it was bad.
Interested n checking out MI.
Reach out to me anytime! All my contact info is all over!
I'm looking into getting a job at the airport there in marquette. Is this a good place to live? The housing price decent?
Reach out and we can chat! Housing prices being decent is a relative term, you can find some reasonable housing there, just depends on where you want to live!
Unaffordable real estate and rents, high taxes, and cost of living in Blue states will cause working and middle class people to leave. .
Thanks for commenting!
If you want snow for the Holidays, move north.
I grew up in Marquette, had plenty of it then!
I left Michigan in 1983 for Texas, best decision I’ve ever made.
Texas would be a good time!
It’s full of democrats. That’s why.
There is no traffic! Move to the East Coast! You sound sort of dumb!
Only made it as far as No.2 DTE. Boy I'm on board like 250%. Ain't been in Michigan all of my life, but when I have that DTE has been a pain in the old hoots-gow, er, Hoots-cow(?), pain in the ass!! Had some lengthy wars with them, especially when was a homeowner. Had a neighbor once pirating power and they were charging me for what he stole! I could go on, but I won't - Love Ann Arbor. Partied there as a youth, smoking pot on the Quad, going to the Blind Pig, oh yeah. The Art Fair every year, but the No.1 attraction: Michigan Football.
Thanks for watching and the comment!
I'm guessing the unspoken motivation for many there is like people leaving Madison, Seattle, Portland, Cali, etc. is ever increasing left wing lunacy especially following Covid. Even moderates on the left are sick of the growing authoritarianism and fascists in the blue no matter who cult. Peace, comrades!
That’ll always be part of why people move for sure
So how do you measure the number of people who are not even going to Ann Arbor in the first place? It's, what, 9 billion?
Yeah not real sure
My no. 1 guess they graduated
Some leave when they graduate, there’s certainly some that stay!
I miss Ann Arbor, Mi. I moved to NC 4 years ago. I moved because housing was extremely expensive.
You moved to NC at a great time too! Hope you’re enjoying your time there!
I am from Ann Arbor and I moved out of state because it was too expensive. Have a great day 🤠
For sure in and around Ann Arbor can be very expensive! Heck even where I’m at in Livingston County just north has an average of around 430k. Where did you end up moving to? Happy to help anyone else you know move out of state😎. I’m able to help nationwide!
@@LivinginDetroitMi hello! I moved to Texas.
Terrible weather
All seasons for you or maybe it was just summer or winter? Where did you move to?
I'm going on 66 still working and my family is close! I live north of the 45th parallel which is God's country! My only complaint is our governor but that liberal bitches time is almost up!
What an arrogant ass. He is a Buckeye.
My rent went from 890 to 1200 in the last 3 years. the city is not doing a complete rezone to match the demand and no shit rents are rising. I'm voting with my feet and moving somewhere where I get more bang for my buck, Seattle WA
Rents have certainly gone up everywhere. I can’t imagine your money will go much further if at all further in Seattle?
Median rent in Ann Arbor is 1650. Median rent in Seattle is 2000. For $350 more a month, get the best bike infrastructure in the US, some of the best transit, incredible access to nature, a less car oriented city, way more shit to do that is way closer, a city that is actually growing and desirable… yeah I get way more bang for my buck lol
And also not super hot Michigan summers or cold winters. Greenery in the city unlike Detroit. Can go on and on
Seattle is great and I do love all the access to the national parks out that way too! If you have the flexibility and freedom to move that’s awesome!
You go ahead and move to Seattle, bums on every corner, begging for money, not to mention how it smells like piss😂🥳✌️🍀
Very expensive .Also too much of an ivory tower that gets in the way of growing up.
Definitely getting more expensive! Not only the housing but also the taxes!
Lived and worked Michigan my entire life…….retired and getting out of this “democratic hell hole”. Montana here I come….good bye to high taxes and Lansing bureaucrats. Gretchen W couldn’t run a lemonade stand.
No arguments from me! Let me know when you’re looking to make that move and I’ll help you get top dollar too! I love Montana, spent some time in Dickinson, ND during the oil boom in 2010-2016, which is about an hour from the MT border.
Montana is freezing but you probably did your homework. I have old friends there near Yellowstone.
I can't stand Witchmer. Bitchmer❓
Sounds like Illinois
Montana has a HIGHER cost of living than Michigan
Its not just Detroit anymore... the suburbs are being over run. party stores now closing down. liquor bottles, needles and condoms on roadsides. They come to spread their culture and throw garbage everywhere. The 8 mile barrier we once had is gone.
Some suburbs sure, not all. It’s nasty though I agree! We chose to move further west to Hartland!
@@LivinginDetroitMi no not all because of median values...but its all mixed out on the roads and stores. they burnt out the big city so they come where there is opportunity. thanx for the Hartland tip. looking to go
Detroit is NOT safe. Not only that, services are limited. If you call the cops or police or need an ambulance, they may not show up. I worked downtown Detroit for years. I worked in the neighborhoods in TV news. It's not a place I would live. Yes, there are pockets, but the pockets can be dangerous too. I wish this wasn't the case.
Thanks for commenting! To be fair, this is true in many large cities across the nation!
There are some new condos being built a couple miles from my lake home near Commerce Township. These condos start at $600k. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy they are on the expensive end, BUT who can afford these condos? Prices are crazy. We couldn't afford it.
I hear you! Prices here are getting crazy!
It's Michigan, only reason I need.
I guess to each their own!
Why even bother to post if only to allude to some quality of the entire state of Michigan which overcomes any good it otherwise has to offer? If it's so compelling and so repulsive, why not share it?
The 5 things you need to know about Detroit is CARRY A GUN. Not one gun, but 5 guns. Thats the 5 things you need to carry around Detroit. GUNS GUNS GUNS GUNS GUNS. Even the munchkin mayor of Detroit Mike Duggan has 24/7 Detroit police protection inside AND outside his Detroit taxpayer paid riverfront mansion. WHY? CRIME CRIME CRIME Thats why.😂
Cost of living was the main reason we moved. I went to the U and work for the U so we are anchored to the area but after living in an apartment in the city for a decade we were done with apartment living and wanted a house. Basically our options were a tiny house in Ann Arbor or a bigger house nearby with a garage and a basement, etc. So we moved to Manchester (SW corner of the same county, about a 30 minute drive to Ann Arbor, almost all of it on backroads past cornfields and cows, not a bad drive!) Could we have made it work in the city? Sure. But then there’s the other issue… I’m a Republican. It wasn’t so much people are mean to Republicans there (they aren’t!) but I kinda like voting for people who occasionally win and that basically was NEVER going to happen in Ann Arbor. It doesn’t happen much in Manchester either truth be told but it’s at least possible. Things aren’t as hardcore Dem here, and that matters over time. There aren’t any protests happening in my neck of the woods, they are happening in Ann Arbor… this is part of that. Plus, Ann Arbor is urban. There are some downsides to that. Crime is always an issue in urban areas. It’s not super high in Ann Arbor but it’s there. It’s far less of an issue out in the rural outskirts. It happens everywhere but criminals go where more people are, more potential victims. That’s just a fact of life. I was never a crime victim in Ann Arbor, but I work in law enforcement so I’m well aware of the crime happening in the area and it’s simply higher in the urban areas (Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, etc.) than outside of them. Paying more for a smaller house in a place that clashes with my ideological bent and has more crime… it wasn’t a hard choice to leave the city itself. Great place to visit and work, just no desire to live there.
Thanks for commenting! Yes, many are choosing to live outside of Ann Arbor! I live up near Hartland myself; so just like you, except on the north instead of the south! The dollar goes a little further down near Manchester for sure
ann arbor is far from urban, everything is so far apart. all they do is virtual signal and get nothing done. they are false liberals.
Is the cabinet door in the background distracting to anyone else?
What did I forget to shut it? Oops!
@@LivinginDetroitMi, it looks like it's misaligned.
🌞🌝🌅
I live in Ann arbor. It's not as inclusive as one would think. Also, if you're not straight, and white. You will be overlooked. It's very inclusive when it comes to resources. A lot of the people move here, and they vote republican. But benefit from the Democratic society. If you love parks, and mediocre cuisine, as well as folk music. Then you might adore this town. The parks in the summer and the river is the best thing. Quite frankly I find Detroit to be my place of refuge. #belleisle much better restaurants.
Thanks for commenting! Belle Isle is beautiful!
@@LivinginDetroitMi you're welcome thanks for your positive reply. It is one of my favorite places.Cool
Auto insurance will be expensive. Recommend not having an expensive vehicle to defray some of the cost.
Certainly high auto insurance!
Selling my home in the spring of 2026. #1. Blue State = zero growth. Detroit is still Detroit like it or not. I will not take my family down to Detroit period. Even if Detroit was a beautiful city, there is no fast transit to get us in and out of the city. #2. Weather is brutally bad. True Michiganders will tell you they love the 4 seasons. That is a lie. 99% of Michiganders stay locked up in their homes during the brutal winter months. Sometime in April you’ll start seeing children come out. Summer can be VERY MILD where the highs only get into the low to mid 70s. Not good boating weather or beach weather at all. Often the hot 80 degree weather doesn’t show up until July. Better love overcast and no sun. Going 7-14 days in a row with zero sun happens every year. You’ll get some sunshine and then back into another 7 days of no sun. Depressing. #3. Warm weather states promote healthier lifestyle as you are not locked in your house for 7-8 months of the year. The Red city and state I’m moving to has farmers markets open all year round, sunshine and heat all year round, beaches open all year round, boating all year round, weather that promotes “active movement”. So much more to do all year round in beautiful weather. #4 Costs of higher level education is SIGNIFICANTLY lower compared to Michigan. My son is graduating right now, the cost of out of state tuition in some of the southern states is the same as in state tuition in Michigan. Very sad. Both my sons will be going to Universities in the south, they want out also. #5 - Nothing more fun than carting 2 to 3 large garbage bags of cans and bottles to supermarkets and Costo. Michigan makes you pay $0.10 per can/bottle. Then you have the luxury to bag up 100’s of stick bottles and cans and spend tons of time feeding one bottle at a time into a machine just to get your $0.10 per can/bottle back. I HATE THIS. We work and take care of our families all week, weekend comes, and you have to take cans/bottles back to the grocery store. At Costco, I’ve waited up to 30 mins in line before I can start my process of feeding cans into a machine. STATE IS BLUE.. Going to a DARK RED STATE! BYE BYE
Thanks for the in-depth comment! Would love to be of assistance in 2026! We are sitting in May right now with 80’s! I would actually prefer in the 70’s myself. Winter can get long…if at all possible I always try and get away to the south! But I completely understand, if it weren’t for friends and family I may also be in a different state!
I lived in Holland/Zeeland from 1957 to 2015 and I moved to Southern Alabama. While there I owned an 1850 sq. ft 3 br 2 ba home in a subdivision and paid $1,500 in property tax every 6 months. I bought a 2200 sq. ft. 3 br 3ba home on 16 acres and pay $400 per year property tax PER YEAR. So in 10 years I will save about $20,000 on tax alone. I don't need a snow blower, or snow tires, a snow shovel or even an Ice scraper for the car. I will NEVER move back to that Democratic hell hole you call Michigan.
Love myself some Alabama! My parents go down to Orange Beach all the time!
@@LivinginDetroitMi Orange Beach is beautiful.
Moved to Alabama 20 yrs ago. Much lower taxes. Summers are a bit rough but overall a good move
It's funny, because in comparison,it's still one of the cheapest places to buy
Depending on the area it can be considerably reasonable still. There are definitely some areas that are pretty expensive!
