Lack of high paying jobs. There are a lot of service jobs in the area because it is a resort town and there are a lot of good jobs for skilled trades but not much else.
Not such a big deal for my wife and I but as the town grows I hope the job prospects improve for younger people (namely my kids) so they don't have to flee to the city. Remote work for the win.
Yes, I am selfish, I want my kids to stay in a small town with me forever and not experience the world. Haha
The lack of big trees is a big one for me. It sucks that there aren’t many tree species that do well with the heat and humidity.
There’s also an unproductive drinking/party culture here that I find really annoying. Meaning the work/party balance seems kind of off to me but it might just be the bachelor/bachelorette tourism.
Lack of big trees is mine, too. We have big trees in the area, but these newer developments clearcut everything before building. Our house is old enough that we have some nice trees, but most of the neighborhood doesn't.
The owners of each house across street from us are nice enough. They are each independently wealthy, and each have their garages set up as man caves. They are out there from 9:00 am until 1:00 am, 365 days a year, whether it’s -30°C or 30°C. Watching TV, listening to tunes, running their Harleys and sports cars, drinking, getting high, carrying on. Their respective buddies show up whenever their wives kick them out for the day. I cannot leave the front of my house without engaging. They’ll see me walking my dog and tag along. I could be leaving for work and they’ll just stand behind my car yammering on.
Sometimes I can hear hunters shooting and killing animals in the beautiful forests nearby, just for sport. I think they really need to kill something to feel they have accomplished something in life.
easy one here and it's people's mistreatment of animals and often needless cruelty/neglect (ie, getting a dog and leaving in on a short chain outside all day).
There's no logic to it even, like if you wanted a guard dog, it's on a chain, it couldn't get a thief if it wanted to.
not so much a city thing, but more a rural village thing
A Bahia é um estado incrível, com praias lindas, cultura forte e uma comida maravilhosa (acarajé, moqueca... só de pensar já dá fome!). Mas, como qualquer lugar, também tem seus desafios. Algumas coisas que as pessoas costumam reclamar são:
Infraestrutura e transporte – Dependendo da cidade, pode ter problemas com estradas, transporte público ou saneamento.
Segurança – Em algumas áreas, a criminalidade pode ser uma preocupação.
Serviços públicos – Saúde, educação e burocracia podem ser complicados em certos momentos.
Calor intenso – Se você não gosta de temperaturas altas, o verão pode ser bem pesado.

The older I get, the more small town seems appealing.
As of December 2023, Canada's GDP per capita was $44,468.75 USD
Don’t worry more government debt and social programs will fix that when the Liberals get voted back in. Haha
Take the terrible health care system
The government is encouraging and assisting suicide to disguise how terrible hospitals and doctors are in Canada
We need more immigrants especially if they wear burkas!

Pacific Northwest used to have lots of big trees
Still does where my relatives live.
Drinking culture is insane in Wisconsin, but we do have trees, so there's that.
My neighbours.

Too cold in the winter
the snow is THE BEST PART of my home.
I was gonna say prices or "woke/socialist" culture/gov or something like that
I love the snow, but I drive for a living, so it's a bit of a love hate thing.
Fresh snow is nice
Old snow sucks
For me the snow would be the worst.
Communist takeover of government due to a fraudulent universal mail in elections system. Otherwise it’s a beautiful place to live (Pacific Northwest.)
Portland and Seattle
The crowd and noise have increased as more people have started migrating to my area in recent years.
Traffic
Crazy politics
Homeless
Dysfunctional local governments
Waste fraud Graft and money laundering
Too many people legal or otherwise
homeless ppl and its expensive
Tourists, not because of them, because everything is a tourist trap: from stores to houses.
Nothing to do. Midwest.
I live in Las Vegas and there’s like no culture here.
It’s just one big vapid sand color’d stucco hellscape.
It's a culture of its own.
A culture of hellscape and depression but the weather is nice.
nearly everywhere becomes a hellscape of depression once you've been there long enough
Nothing love it! Nice try fed
government
Here is the worst part about France
My wife
Weather and overcrowded
Lack of economic freedom and high IQ people, but I am here in this of the world for just a few more weeks.
Sometimes I can hear hunters shooting
and killing animals in the beautiful forests nearby, just for sport. I think they really need to kill something to feel they have accomplished something in life.
Thank you PETA
Income tax
Property taxes are too damn high.
First is A public toilet
Taxes. Corruption. people who only care about frivolities, don't like deeper or more educational content.

the government
It's a big town with about 200k people. It's densely populated and there aren't well equipped or big medical and educational facilities.
However we have them all at about 1/2 hour distance. Roads have now improved a lot.
The traffic, no doubt.
